The current hit single "TiK ToK" from "Kes$a"
When I read that I realize two things:
* I'm getting old
* It's not surprising that the music industry is in trouble
Maybe it's a great song, but the title and artist's name definitely don't make me want to find out. But maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy.
- DrJokepu 17y agoI didn't say I like that song either, but it's a fact that that song is currently No. 1 on Billboard Top 100, which is the leading top chart in the United States and possibly worldwide. It's an "engineered" song, it has a catchy tune, lyrics that might appeal to pre-adolescents, features "cameo appearances " from other well-known "musicians" and is heavily promoted by the record label. You probably already heard that song countless times even though you don't realize it. Pop charts are like that, the fact that the song currently leading top charts are targeted at different age groups or social groups than you doesn't mean that you're getting old, it's just that it's "not your turn" now. In a few months, there's going to be a hit song that you'll actually like. Or maybe you don't like mainstream pop music at all, in that case, you shouldn't worry about pop top charts at all.
