Most Disappointing Facts About Popular Music

Legends or not, their time past away disappointingly, for shure.

Creed has sold more records in the US than Jimi Hendrix

Led Zeppelin, REM, and Depeche Mode have never had a number one single, Rihanna has 10

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

Flo Rida's “Low” has sold 8 million copies – the same as The Beatles' “Hey Jude”

The Black Eyed Peas' “I Gotta Feeling” is more popular than any Elvis or Simon & Garfunkel song

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

Same with Shania Twain's “Come On Over”

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

Barbra Streisand has sold more records (140 million) than Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, and Tom Petty combined

People actually bought Billy Ray Cyrus' album “Some Gave All…” 20 million people. More than any Bob Marley album

The cast of “Glee” has had more songs chart than the Beatles

This guy exists.

That is all.

Wow! How depressing. Admittedly quite a large number of these would be due to a combination of population size and expendable income but it also shows the music buying public buy what corporations tell them to. It would be nice to know how different this would be if MTV etc. had never existed and people judged the material on its merits alone.
