![States that export the most cars In 2020, the United States exported $1.431 trillion worth of goods. Vehicles were among the top U.S. exports, ranking fourth at $105.2 billion, according to research publication World's Top Exports. Vehicle exports accounted for 7.3% of all goods exported from the U.S. Ahead of cars were computers and other machinery, electrical machinery and equipment, and oil and other mineral fuels. CoPilot used data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Foreign Trade database to compile the top 20 states with the highest values of car exports. Total car export values were calculated by adding the export values for all types of passenger vehicles and motor vehicles in the state. The states are ranked by the 2020 value of car exports, and ties are broken by the share that the car export values out of all exports in each state. The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically affected auto industries around the world, including in the U.S. where factories significant shutdowns as virus case numbers increased. In 2020, car exports were valued at $45.6 billion-an 18.7% decline year-over-year. Continue reading to find out if your state exported the most cars in 2020.]()

![Best pop songs of the last 30 years While pop music has origins as far back as the 1920s, it didn't really take shape as a genre until the 1950s. In the decades that followed, the term was largely used to denote a specific type of catchy sound or style, which usually overlapped with other genres like rock, country, folk, soul, R&B, and electronic. As the trend persisted into the 1980s and 1990s, the concept itself continued to evolve to the point that "pop music" didn't overlap with peripheral genres as much as it did swallow them whole. To keep pace, the Billboard Pop Songs Chart debuted on Oct. 3, 1992. Stacker is listing out the greatest pop songs of all time, based on weekly performance on the Billboard Pop Songs chart from its inception all the way up to Sept. 30, 2017. Artists and songs are ranked by way of an inverse point system, with weeks at #1 earning the greatest value, and weeks at the lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various respective periods. Artists are then ranked based on a formula blending performance-as outlined above-of all their Pop Song chart entries. Being that the list is bound by specific parameters, there's an absence of names like Michael Jackson or Madonna. Meanwhile, The Goo Goo Dolls and Bruno Mars have three songs on the chart-the most among all the artists. Nickelback, Bruno Mars, Timbaland, OneRepublic, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, and 3 Doors Down all have two songs on the chart. Everyone else has one song on the chart. OK, enough with the spoilers. Here are the best pop songs of all time. You may also like: Most famous musician born the same year as you]()

![College majors that earn the most money Choosing a college major is a big decision. Students must select to study something that challenges and interests them while balancing the hard realities of the job market and outlook of career paths. A good salary coming out of college is key to a secure middle class future, and with increasing student loan debts, choosing a major that yields bigger salaries out the gate becomes ever more desirable. To show just how valuable these college majors can be, Stacker used data from a 2020 PayScale report to rank the top 100 college majors that alumni make the most money from in their respective professional careers. The rankings, released in 2021, are based on the highest average mid-career salary. Information is provided about the jobs a major in that area might be hired for, which skills they'll attain while in school, and what the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects their prospects are of finding a job upon graduation with a bachelor's degree. Stacker's list of top 100 college majors that earn the most money is diverse, beginning with Japanese studies and ending with petroleum engineering. In between, computational and applied mathematics, aeronautics, building science, and mechatronics top the ranks of college majors that earn the most money early to mid-career. Within the list, engineer-related college majors dominate, with petroleum engineering majors making the most mid-career pay at $182,000. Keep reading to find out if your major made the list of college majors that earn the most money. You may also like: 100 Highest Paying Jobs In America]()
