I know i'm getting old and out of touch when I haven't even heard of most of these songs.

I bought 94 albums released this year and only own 4 albums with songs on that list, one of which came out last year and is the only one of the four that I actually cared for. Having not listened to the radio at all for some years, I find it amusing to see performers like Maroon 5, Train and Usher as having multiple songs on the list. What demographic drives radio popularity these days?

you'd be shocked at how popular Maroon 5 and Train (and Nickelback, Daughtry, 3 Doors Down, etc...) are with 35-45 year old housewives who think that they are still "with it" and hip for liking them. Basically they have become this generations' equivalent of Michael Bolton and Kenny G

stvn1974

Never heard of most of the list. Goes back to listening to his Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan.

Those out of tune long hair hippie plagerists are far worse then the current cats .I will stick with listening to Davis,Coltrane,Parker,Gillespie,Baker and Rollins.

Fist of Doom

Hmph. Vulgarians whose moaning, broken-rhythmed music debases its listeners and encourages the worst kind of debauchery: dancing.

I will be listening to Mozart, Brahms, Hadyn and Bach, thank you.

Heard of the majority of them, some good some bad

Dan1boy

That list is made solely for the sheeple.

Typical.

arminius

I just don't understand why they smell like that.

I've heard of the majority of the artists in the top 50, even if I've never heard the songs. But it once took a monster act like the Bee Gees or Fleetwood Mac to get multiple top-20 hits in a single year. Now it looks like there are only eight or so acts IN the top 20.

Nick Danger

Blame Nirvana.

The Bus

I've heard every song in the Top 10. Aside from the one by fun., I don't have any of them.

You people need to get out more.

wendersfan

You should check out Hank Mobley and Joe Henderson.

crankyman

OR...you need to get better musical tastes. BAM.

edstein

Not one rock song on that list (not sure I count Coldplay and Linkin Park as rock).

Hiro11

I have young daughters and have therefore heard most of these songs. Actually, I'd say that the top ten is better than most year's top tens. Some catchy songs in there.

Also, I can attest to the fact that rock is deader than disco for kids these days. It's going to come back, though.

lrdlrdlrd

rock is still going well in terms of touring and live performances, but not many buying stuff..legally anyway.

Drexl

DRG

How am I supposed to take these artists seriously as musicians with those monikers? I'd be much more inclined to sample them if they presented themselves as gill.es.pie, Col-Train, and Davi$.

I love people who still think they're musically adventurous for liking that Gotye song.

cungar

I stopped hanging around high schools years ago.

UAIOE

I'm pretty sure I've only heard the last two Adele songs, and the Party Rock Anthem song.

Nick Danger

I'm musically adventurous and I like that Gotye song.

Tarantino

You're so cool.

Giles

oh so this is were the Kids Bop series gets it's songs.

I'd put 'Titanium' higher... love that song

where's Swedish House Mafia' 'Don't You Worry Child'
