Thanks to Ilan for sending this my way.
The chorus similarity of Justin Bieber’s 2021 track “Anyone” is undeniably similar to Toto’s “Goin’ Home” (1989).
Rick Beato on YouTube does an excellent job breaking it all down here:

Sia has been killing it. Her songs are great and her videos are super original. I was certainly curious when David sent this comparison in and I definitely heard the musical similarity in Toto‘s 1982 “Africa” as well. Have a listen to Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” with this classic from Toto. Just focus your ears on the chord progression:
SIA - "Cheap Thrills" (2016)
Toto - "Africa" (1982)

I was curious about this one because Avicii‘s “Wake Me Up” is such a huge hit. I definitely hear the similarity in Sandé‘s vocal line. Then I noticed a YouTube comment that pointed to Toto‘s 1979 track. Check ’em out!
Back in 2011 Avicii took X Factor star Leona Lewis to court. Anyone know what happened with this?
