This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliata.

In 1964, the Beatles set foot in America and kicked off the British invasion.

But musical revolutions don't occur only in human culture.

They also happen among humpback whales in their songs.

Yeah, I mean, it's very much like a fashion or a new type of song that maybe

comes from a different country and all of a sudden it's number one and everyone wants to listen to it.

Claire Owen, a marine scientist at the University of St. Andrews. The number one song she's talking

about are the tunes sung by humpback whales in the South Pacific, which Owen's team recorded

at half a dozen wintering grounds.

Among the recordings, they found several variations on an older theme throughout the region.

But they also found a new, more commonly recorded song.

Even though that song was new, it had spread rapidly through multiple whale populations,

replacing the old tune.

In other words, it was a hit.

And the key to that rapid spread, Owen says, might be a newly studied hub of cetacean musical exchange, the uninhabited

Kermodec islands, north of New Zealand, where whales from all over the South Pacific converge

in route to Antarctica. And the search for songs and their information may be a reason for the convergence.
