This list conclusively proves that democracy needs to be destroyed and replaced by a one-party totalitarian Maoist government
One saving grace I’d argue is that a lot of this isn’t “active” streaming, but rather businesses, public spaces, etc., just putting on Top 40 playlists as background music.
This shit still annoys me. The internet and Spotify (despite being owned by a combination of techbros and record label ghouls) gives us the option to really put some variety and creativity into day-to-day musak. My job has a Spotify and a couple of coworkers in the past have put on some real Clear Channel shit. Like, what's the point then?
Thst happens in literally every workplace. That's what people like and they're okay with hearing only 5 songs over and over. It sucks
I got co-workers that don't like Zydeco or Death Metal. Utter fascism. 😠
I just don't wanna hear Pumped Up Kicks 3 times a shift or more.
All the other kids with their dope playlists 🎶
You let them run let them run 🎶
Just explain the lyrics to them every time they put it on until they catch ur drift
I don't even know the lyrics aside some seeming to threaten children with gun violence
I have a guy at work who plays the same 10-15 song playlist every single day, half of it this stuff in the op and half of it the worst trance remixes of popular songs I've ever heard. I don't tend to get angry, but that shit has led me to literally yell at him to please turn it off because I'm going insane. Like, I'm spending hours finding new cool music that I think my co-workers will like, listen to feedback, tailoring playlists for different times of day so we can have a good flow in the kitchen and this fucker just plays shit like this on repeat
I discovered Alvvays cuz they used to come on the PA where I worked
You guys all sound like crusty grumpy boomers. People are allowed to like popular things.
popular or default things are almost always a shoddy compromise.
I am not dunking on these songs because they are popular. I like a lot of popular music. There are even some bangers on this list (Post Malone is awesome). However, most of the songs on this list are aggressively mid at best and completely unlistenable at worst. There is plenty of great pop music that deserves to be on this list.
I never listen to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You". I only listen to the cover version by Haddinqo, a virtuoso of the masenqo, a type of one-stringed lute from Ethiopia.

He's a safe cutesy guy that saw a gap in the market and went for it. Easy to promote. On some level I respect him for going for it and "selling out".

Some people in the comments here are about to change their PFP to a marble sculpture.
imagine talking to some middle aged white dude, and comparing ed sheran to queen, or the beatles 🤣😱
What would the list look like under a one-party totalitarian Maoist government?
- John Brown's Body
listening to anything else is punishable by the death penalty
In the same vein of "DPRK songs that have no business being this hype", we could add "The Train of Reunification Runs"

Bohemian Rhapsody just hanging out in the middle there
I don't get it. Did they reboot Wayne's World or how is this the only song from the last millennium on there? If you told me there was one such song and made me guess, I'd have said I don't know . . . Wonderwall? All I Want for Christmas Is You?
I was gonna make this comment. That shit makes my ears bleed and I've never met a single person who likes it. I'm convinced its only popular because radio stations and retail stores were paid obscene amounts to play it 24/7
upbearing because I hate democracy and love fighting
I only recognize Bohemian Rhapsody
