On no other day is midnight anticipated by so many people as it is on December 31st of each year. Therefore, I take a look in this post at references to midnight in the lyrics of songs from the Billboard year-end Top 30 charts (1951-2016*).

In all, there are 43 uses of the term in 20 songs in the collection, from 1956's "Green Door" to 2015's "Style." Video clips of the 9 songs in which the word midnight occurs multiple times are presented in chronological order below:

and UMG think they can exclude us??? No way! The music from Bob Seger will not be forbidden for us! They cannot block a live performance like this one.

And the nearly obligatory bonuses from outside the collection:

John Waite - Midnight Rendezvous RARE video HQ audio/video including lyrics!! The Babys were a British rock/pop group best known for their songs "Isn't It Time," and "Every Time I Think of You." Both songs were composed by Jack Conrad and Ray Kennedy, and reached #13 on the U.S.
