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
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.
They can like them. Doesn’t mean it’s good.
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 truly do not understand the popularity of ed sheeran
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.

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
- Red Sun in the Sky

In the same vein of “DPRK songs that have no business being this hype”, we could add “The Train of Reunification Runs”
also this banger

I only recognize Bohemian Rhapsodyimagine talking to some middle aged white dude, and comparing ed sheran to queen, or the beatles 🤣😱
I don’t know who Ed Sheran is. I like crust punk.

Yeah looks like it’s the top 50 all time on Spotify
dance monkey is one of the worst songs ever recorded
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
That’s it, I’m a contrarian boomer now.
OK millennial
Some people in the comments here are about to change their PFP to a marble sculpture.
Really, Blinding Lights? It’s a solid pop song, but nothing about it screams #1 to me. Maybe that’s why it’s #1–kinda bland and unobtrusive, so good background music?
Whatever the case, stream Seven so we can teach children all over the world the days of the week.
Macklemore - there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while
He spoke at the Nov 4th rally for Palestine in DC. Said he spent a few days doing research after his daughter said this is something he should engage on and decided on what was right, “Free Free Palestine!”.
Then he got off the mic and gave it to someone who actually knew their shit. All in all, 10/10 celeb endorsement.
oh that’s cool to hear, good on him
wow, critical support. need a milder version of
