And they are by no means anything revolutionary or inspiring, plenty of other artists I listen to offer that - they're just something light-heartedly different and refreshingly enjoyable that I listen to every so often.

True - when I posted I was thinking that people that don't have much interest in music were unlikely to contribute that much to music sales.
However I now think that radio airplay = sales as gifts (safe bet presents), and requests from kids who don't know any different.

Pop music as we know it grew from the acoustic limitations of AM radio sets - certain types of music played better over the radio, and any content that wasn't mid-range frequency was virtually lost.
If it wasn't played on radio it didn't reach mass audiences, and if it was played on radio it became popular.

woo a girls aloud thread \o/

new album tomorrow :cool:

They make great pop music, the moron saying that those that like them have no clue about "proper" music is a bit of a bellend

trotamundos

Saw them at V a couple of years back and they were suprisingly OK. Quite amsing seeing the front four rows entirely contain men in their late 20s with videophones as well.

Music is OK I guess. I don't start frothing when it comes on the radio.

people who buy albums/singles from X-Factor people are sheep, dont even care if it's any good - in it goes to the shopping trolley/onto that cash desk

can't see too many kids requesting that Larsson lookalike's album this week, but it's probably going to be the fatest selling debut album in this country beating a talented band's record into the bargain :thup:

Makes sense, don't really use music for switching off- tend to play games instead.

the first you've heard of them? You can't get them of the TV or radio...
