Factors that make a song popular??

Unread post by Jenny Jobs » Tue Dec 23, 2008 6:37 am

Hi there!!!

What according to you are the reasons of a song becoming popular or a smash hit?
Is it the music, the singing style, the lyrics or something other than these?

I judge mostly by breast size and tightness of labia
Give a woman an inch and she'll take a foot. Give a woman a foot and she'll moan like a whore

A pair of Kings beats a pair of Queens because men are better than women

It's the record company shoving the singles down your throat until you love them. That, and the formula for Crash. Peeping Tom + Naive teenage girls = SMASH

Most "popular" songs don't interest me. It's usually a repetitive beat and easy to remember/sexual lyrics that most half-brained people flock to.

A chorus with these chords Am F C G = Gold Records!
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

It was just an example of the minor 6th, 4th, 1st, 5th progression. Em, C, G, D will moisten and equal amount of panties.

many people love dmb because they are different - With their brooding and thoughtful lyrics, adroit instrumentation - lenthy jams and sweeping grooves they are the antithesis of the modern "hit factorys".

As such, favourate songs among fans tend to be the complex and unique sounding ones (also - long with plenty of jamming) - such a pig and YNK - over their more typical "poppy" outings like "where are you going" / "space between" (though good songs in their own right) do not adhere to the niche they have come to represent (and subsequently expand)
Gervais on Rosa Parks "she was arrested but then that law was changed- but she didnt stop there, she started sitting in the seats saved for disabled people. unbelavable, she talked to the driver when the bus was in motion- did she have the correct change ready? - did she bollox!"

Bense are you trying to say that you didn't like Stand Up???
Because if thats the case you should have made that opinion clear at some earlier point in time.

Well with an opening line like that, how could it not be?
