Soda Jerk Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 None of it is really surprising, though the list itself has been manipulated well.Pop music is all incredibly well marketed products, despite the product lacking in substance. That sort of music isn't really marketed towards people who really give a toss about music in terms of musicianship and integrity. They just want one of those songs with all the bass that they can grind to in a club, or whatever. I don't really understand why the particular blogger has made such a deal about it, because I don't believe anyone who is seriously interested in music has ever linked record sales in direct correlation to the quality of a band/song/record.

Paranoid Android Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm baffled as to why anyone would get that upset over anything on that page. Especially when they're using examples like the Beatles and Elvis. They're hardly overlooked or under appreciated. They were as big as it's possible to be so the fact that some "lesser" act 50 years later has sold more singles doesn't really tell us anything. Except maybe that nowadays more kids today have 99p spare to spend on an itunes download than were able to afford singles in the 50s/60s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I honestly don't understand all the animosity towards Bieber. Sure he's shite and a total marketing puppet but is he really that different from any other pop act out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 He's just the most popular, isn't he? So therefore the easiest target. He's also more obviously marketed at the very young than most pop acts and young people liking music seems to irritate some people for whatever reason.

Flights Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 The Beatles fans were dubbed crazy back in the day. They were doing shit that was deemed utterly mental back in the day. I find it strange that he alone seems to be the target for abuse regarding how crap the music industry is at present. There are far worse offenders than him. See below.
