Take Beyonce's song "Irreplaceable". Why is that song so popular??? IMO, it isn't even close to being great! Yet, some of the people proclaim, "Oh that's my SONG!" like it's the greatest song on earth.
Two other disposable "singers" by the names of Fergie and Justin Timberlake are also played to death on the radio with bad bad songs.
Please share. Thank you for your time.

I agree, but I think it comes down to hype - depending on the artist, if they are already popular, all their songs will instantly hit the top 40 lists. It's sad...and they are all grossly overpaid.

It's called "pay for play" - most radio stations accept kickbacks of some sort for playing specific artists' songs. Well known in the business.

aaargh, me shantys be timeless
Up jumps a crab with his crooked legs
Saying "you play the cribbage and I'll stick the pegs"
Singing blow the wind westerly, let the wind blow
By a gentle nor'wester how steady she goes
Up jumps a dolphin with his chuckle-head
He jumps on the deck saying "pull out the lead!"
how that be for popular you sea cow!
