Song Lyrics on the Web

There are hundreds websites where you can find lyrics for just about any hit song. Are any of them legal? Sadly, most are not. But the publishing companies turn their back to those sites because they know that the sites help to promote their own artists. (Plus they haven't figured out a good way to monetize lyrics yet themselves.) Most lyrics sites allow you to search by song title, artist, or words within the lyrics themselves. As long as you know at least a few words of a song, you should be able to find out who it is and where you can buy it. While we'd like you to help TopHitsOnline by using our own lyrics database (http://www.tophitsonline.com/archive.php), here are two of our other favorite lyrics sites:

Kylie Minogue Continues Chart Success

This week on the THO 100, Kylie Minogue notches her 18th hit on the chart with "In My Arms." She is one of the most successful artists of the past nine years, but there are still 23 other artists with more career hits than Kylie according to our all-time chart. In Kylie's honor, we've created a poll for music-lovers to vote on their favorite song from her career. Since TopHitsOnline only goes back to 1993, we've included her three pre-1993 U.S. hits in the poll: I Should Be So Lucky, The Loco-Motion, and It's No Secret.
