Those are just some of the reasons why playing a song for your beloved today is a great idea. It doesn't cost a thing but it can be invaluable. This list comes from the music experts at Billboard. First off, they came up with the rankings by looking at the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. The chart debuted August 4th 1958 and is still going strong today.

Next, to narrow down the numbers, the folks at Billboard looked for songs with love, or some variation of love in the title. Finally, they assign points to each song. The points system is somewhat complicated because of the way Billboard has evolved over the years. However, they take the time spent in the #1 spot of the charts as a base. Record sales may pay the bills, but the coveted #1 spot on Billboard is a gold standard for an artists' success.

Songs falling just shy of the top ten, counting down from number fifteen are:

  • "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," Queen
  • "Because You Loved Me," Celine Dion
  • "My Love," Paul McCartney and Wings
  • "Bleeding Love," Leona Lewis
  • "I Can't Stop Loving You," Ray Charles
