Creed has sold more records in the US than Jimi Hendrix

 

 

 

 

 

Ke$ha's “Tik-Tok” sold more copies than ANY Beatles single

 

 

 

 

I can kind of justify this one in my head. It's just a lot easier to buy music these days, and kids can go buy ONE song for a buck or something (disclaimer: I have no idea what music costs, but that's what I've heard).

 

 

 

Celine Dion's “Falling Into You” sold more copies than any Queen, Nirvana, or Bruce Springsteen record

 

 

 

Dammit Jumbie, why do your people have so much disposable income?

 

 

 

Same with Shania Twain's “Come On Over”

 

 

Shit, I can't blame the gays for that one.

 

 

 

Katy Perry holds the same record as Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album

 

 

Haha, suck it dry Nazzler.

Population growth might help mitigate some of that.

Not really, I want your cunt to remain pristine.

 

Yeah, but I can only see population growth really applying to the first two I quoted.

Or terrible parenting. These teens have credit cards which are infinitely easier to use on itunes and whatnot.

[Lycaon]

Hence the some part.

Todd in the Shadows did a review of Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know" and Fun's "Tonight (We Are Young)" and pointed out that there's no valid reason for them to have been on the pop charts other than that they were featured on Glee. He then went on to make the revelation that Glee is this generation's MTV.

[Maldron]

I love Todd. Not enough to watch all his shit, but enough to love him.
