the reason songs are popular are that they ARE the best, would a cd that absolutly sucks be popular? NO because the reason albums are popular is because they are good if not the BEST.
i rest my case.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. The reason songs get popular is because the radio plays them, people listen to them, they play them more, etc. If these people were exposed to "She's Electric" over "Wonderwall" or "Blue Orchid" over "Seven Nation Army", those would be the assraped songs.
note: I'm not saying "Wonderwall" is bad, because it's fucking orgasmic.
