Oh God are these really the most downloaded songs of all time ?

Coldplay's in there?  Yo, fuck that!

I don't like a single song on that list.

I think it's called "pop" because it's pop-ular with the general pop-ulation. 

Thats nearly a quid each !! thats about 1.80 dollars each !

"CAN'T READ MY, CAN'T READ MY, NO HE CAN'T READ MY POKER FACE!!!!" 
 
 "Muh muh muh muh"
 
 
Yeah, those songs are basically all shit. With the exception of Lady Gaga of course. ;)

Fuck all that shit : )

the world is just a terrible place where we have to listen to crappy music. something that i hate about the radios now in days is that they always play the same songs over and over, until the next popular songs come out.

Just goes to show that people who pirate have superior taste in music. Suck it.
 
Pirates: 1
Paying Consumers: 0

Unsurprisingly not a single song in the top 100 was released before 2007, so this just means MP3's are replacing the CD single. 
 
MP3 killed the CD star.

I like me some Pink.
 
I MEAN THE SINGER. Degenerates.

well yeah, if you look at the most user friendly media player store...and then look at the top singles bought...your bound to have top 40 pop.

" @EVO: ...erm are we looking at the same chart ? "

Those lists are total bullshit.  Just like the Billboard charts.  It's what they want you to buy (notice the buy all songs for 24.95?).  There are independent chart lists around but they're hard to find these days.
 
OH AND FUCK YOU GAY FISH FOR RUINING A PERFECTLY GOOD DAFT PUNK TRACK.

This is unsurprising.

That's iTunes for ya. Promoting ringtone artists instead of people with true talent.
 
For the record though, Lady GaGa's grown on me, Kayne's a douchebag but a fantastic rapper, T.I. is one of the best rappers out there, and everyone loves "Don't Stop Believing".
 
Everything else though is shiny, polished junk music ("Tik Tok"), bland work by artists who've done better in the past ("Use Somebody") or crap shot out by the worst group in the world the Black Eyed Peas.
 
Or "Hey There Delilah". I HATE that song so much. I would give my soul to the devil when I turn 27 if it meant that I would never, ever have to hear that song ever again.

Woohoo! for Viva la vida!
 
For the rest, I have no words to describe the utterly negative feelings that I have for the songs by shit artists like Beyonce (I hate her song the most), Taylor swift, Miley cyrus, leona lewis etc.
(come to think of it, they're all female artists)
This sucks

This list is bullshit! Where is Justin Beiber?
 
 On a serious note, CHRIST. Not even a single good rock band in there. This generation is absolutely cocked. >:E

Actually, I think the fact that "Crank that" isn't on this list makes it a big success.

I took a break from Googling for some info on a rare, potentially unreleased album from a group that has likely disbanded to read this post...and I am saddened.

Well duh. It's disposable pop music. That's what it's made to do, get airtime, and get downloads. Did you actually think the most downloaded songs would be by talented artists who write and create their own music? Those musicians usually put out entire albums, and not radio-friendly singles.

" I took a break from Googling for some info on a rare, potentially unreleased album from a group that has likely disbanded to read this post...and I am saddened. "

The worst music are always the most popular songs to the general public. Its just how it is.

I gotta feeling is possibly one of the worst songs i have ever heard, when the chorus hits and they start screaming "tonights the night....we blah blah blah" i wanna jam things into my ears.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THE MAINSTREAM LISTENS TO MAINSTREAM MARKETED MUSIC??!?!?!? AND NOT THE STUFF THAT'S GOOD, BUT REALLY OBSCURE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE/WANT TO??? 
 
SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE CATCHY TRACKS ON THE RADIO!????? AND THEN BUY MAYBE JUST THAT ONE SONG!??!?
 
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? 
 
WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT!?! THE GAYS ARE GETTING MARRIED!?!?!? 

Well good for Lady GaGa.

You're surprised?

 The case is somewhat more positive on the Zune Marketplace:

 

Its a sorry time in music history.

Lady Ga Ga can Fuck Off Off. Fair play to her selling shitty disco tracks to kids, but I'm getting really bored of people saying she's mad. It's just a marketing tool. Manyard james Keenan, Bjork, Tori Amos, Billy Corgan, they are mad. Can you imagine any of them singing poker face? Actually, no better not.

Well, remember, all the cool people steal their music. Nerd  who like autotune get it off iTunes.
