I think I've just discovered one of the more interesting errors on the site.

The song "Get Low" by Lil Jon doesn't show up anywhere on this site. But it should! If you check the chart history on this site:

http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/history_songs.htm

You'll see that the song SHOULD be ranked #1453, but there's another song that has this ranking: Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body". For reasons unknown, this error has caused only "Rock Your Body" to appear on this site. No record of "Get Low" appears, not on Lil Jon's artist page:

http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/artist/Lil%20Jon.htm

Nor on the all-time songs list, where "Rock Your Body" is sitting comfortably at #1453. How odd! I hope there aren't other songs/albums with the same number that have gotten lost.

Not really an error but more of a query, but is Johnny Cash's 2003 release Unearthed considered an album or a compilation? Apparently, virtually everything on discs 1-4 is new material, but disc 5 is a compilation from the first four American albums, also it's listed as an album on Rate Your Music.

Was the first single release in 1989 a commercial release or a promo release?

Not sure. It’s especially odd cuz the 1001 Songs edition I have (if I recall correctly) classifies it as a song from 1990, but lists Nothing Compares 2 U (which I’ve only ever seen called a 1990 release) as being from 1989.

Discogs lists both a promo single and a "Rare US 7" single" for 1989

Alabama Shakes were formed in Alabama and don't seem to have any relevant connection to Georgia. I think there was some mix-up because they were formed in Athens, Alabama and not the more famous Athens, Georgia.

Ethel Merman's "I Got Rhythm" seems to be quite an odd entry. I do not doubt that she put on a good show for Girl Crazy. But as far as I can find she never recorded the song until a 1949 LP. Even though the 2 of the 3 sources I could check explicitly mention 1930 as the year of the acclaimed version.
https://www.discogs.com/master/1120387- ... ade-Famous

P.S. Ethel Waters did record a very good rendition of the song in November 1930. Though that should not have caused (much) confusion beyond their similar names.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been wondering the same thing. Per Wikipedia (I think I saw if there), Ethel Merman performed the song in the original Broadway cast of “Girl Crazy” in 1930 and became an overnight sensation for it, performed encore after encore of it while she was in the show. However, no recording of the musical was made at the time (there was a subsequent recording but not with her). It’s not clear to me if the “acclaim” she enjoys from this song is from a later recording or if her original performance has been conflated with later recordings that she made well after she was no longer performing onstage.

I have since discovered a version of this song performed by Ethel Merman in 1937 at a memorial for George Gershwin. There’s commentary at the beginning giving it context (you can find it without the commentary on YouTube, but not on Spotify). It’s probably the closest you’ll get to her original performance in 1930, but I’m not sure that counts for the purpose of this list.

Here’s the Spotify link (hoping I did this accurately; I’m definitely at the bottom 1% on this forum when it comes to internet savvy):
