Finally got round to doing this.

I've always been interested in chords, patterns and progressions, and have noticed a lot of recent songs share one in particular, the minor progression i-VI-III-V. It's a pattern often used to inspire a feeling of 'epicness' and emotion, and can be found hiding within many film soundtracks and melodramatic rock songs. So here's a fun mashup of 27 tracks which all use the i-VI-III-V progression. I'm not doing this to make a point about recycled songwriting - chances are your favourite band has probably used this pattern in at least one of their songs, maybe it's included here. I just did it for a bit of fun in between other projects. Still, it is interesting just how many recent singles there are. 

Bonus points to anyone who can list all 27 tracks! (Actually technically, there's 28 - there are two versions of one particular song...)
