Spotify has become the reference, if an artist is played a lot on the streaming service, it has to be part on the number-one-list everywhere else. Spotify has revealed the most played songs of the summer (June-July-August), and guess what? I have never listened to some of them, don’t own any of them, and certainly don’t care for most of them. Here is the list:
Fun. feat. Janelle Monáe – 'We Are Young'
Flo Rida – 'Whistle'
Carly Rae Jepsen – 'Call Me Maybe'
Train – 'Drive By'
Gotye – 'Somebody That I Used To Know'
Rudimental feat. John Newman – 'Feel The Love'
Alex Clare – 'Too Close'
Coldplay – 'Princess of China'
Rita Ora feat. Tinie Tempah – 'R.I.P'
David Guetta feat. Sia– 'Titanium'
How is this possible? Why do the large majority of music listeners have such shitty tastes? Come on, how could they listen to that Gotye’s tune for the trillionth time? I heard these Flo Rida and Train’s songs for the first time when the bands appeared on TV, and they totally suck, I was probably the last person on earth to know who Carly Rae Jepsen was, and don’t get me started with Guetta and Coldplay! I always wonder why I am such an outsider, a snob may be? I just can’t stand mainstream pop music, I find it too awful!
But here you have it, the summer soundtrack of everyone’s else.
