Quickly went through the BBC (30 sec) top 40 & at least 30 of the songs use this form of vocal processing.

If somebody manages to find enough tracks to fill that 20 places out of the Official Chart companies top 100 how many places would you have to go down to fill that top 20.I think you'd have to go down quite a way.Any one like to have a go doing it ???? (A slight vocal enhancement would be allowed - but not obvious autotune).

I'll start it off then

1- Florence/Dizzee Rascal - You got the dirty love (no.5 in chart)
2- Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind (Part li)
3- Wiley - Never be your woman (feat. Emeli) (no.8 in chart)
4- Boyzone - Gave it all away
5- Cheryl Cole - Parachute (very surprised by this I don't think there is actually alot of vocal processing - but she only seems to actually sing 3 notes - hard to tell).edit - Changed my mind there is definately autotune there - not as abvious as some though.

5 - Leona Lewis - I Got you (although slightly enhanced I think - passible though) no.19 in chart
6 - Glee Cast - Don't Stop Believing
7 - Marina & the Diamonds - Hollywood (no.21 in charts)
8 - Helping Haiti - Everyone Hurts
9 - Jorney - Don't stop believing
10 - Jay-Z - Empire State of mind (feat. El Keys) no.28 in charts

There must be Autotune in that surely ?

Only checked the 30 sec clip - but there are alot of traditional / 60's+'70's singers in there as well.I don't think Cheryl Cole singing part was actually that long - so perhaps it could be excluded.Hard to really judge that one because some of them have autotune, some haven't

11 - Florence / mach - You've got the love no.30
12 - Glee Cast - Halo / Walking on sunshine (a little there but just about O.K.) no.35
13 - Mumford & sons - The cave
Glee club - Defying Gravity (not sure about - seems more in this song than others)

In the top 40 I've found 13 or 14 non-autotune tracks (some of them debateable).
Any reactions ?????

Surprised about the amount of autotune on Mary J Blige track - she can sing - so why???

I don't believe that Cheryl Cole doesn't use auto tune, I'm sorry but I just don't!

You forgot to put the smiley with the tong hanging out after your quote --------> this one

there

A lot of artists use it for effect rather than assistance.

I'm so old I couldn't name ONE song with autotune ON!

Sounds like the type of thing the Major label's might spread around to neutralise the criticism.It is sad that Mary J Blige has to almost bend her sound to fit in with the crowd.At one time it was celebrated to be able to stand out.
The conspiracists would have us believe that this is all part of the plan of Big business to homogenise us, so it is easy to market their products - Hhhhhhmmmm - perhaps it's true.1984 might be happening

Rule me out of this system though.

The Only Exception - Paramore
Misguided Ghosts - Paramore
