The British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree made a song called " Four Chords That Made A Million" that appears to be a satire of the broad use of this progression in contemporary commercial music.
As of May 2020, the two most popular versions have been viewed over 100 million times combined. The song was subsequently published on YouTube. It was originally written in D major (thus the progression being D major, A major, B minor, G major) and performed live in the key of E major (thus using the chords E major, B major, C# minor, and A major). It does not accurately represent the chord progressions of all the songs it depicts.

Numerous bro-country songs followed the chord progression, as demonstrated by Greg Todd's mash-up of several bro-country songs in an early 2015 video. The chord progression is also used in the form IV–I–V–vi, as in songs such as " Umbrella" by Rihanna and " Down" by Jay Sean. In this ordering, the progression ends with a double plagal cadence in the key of the dominant (in the Mixolydian mode) and could also be respelled ii–bVII–IV–I, opening with a backdoor turnaround. you have to make me feel smallĮm CWhy.Audio playback is not supported in your browser.
