Sometimes some national #1's in any country (in my case Australia) think how the hell did that song become #1. Especially if they play it so much on the radio and it gets stuck in your head. Grrrr I know it depends maybe on the majority of peoples tastes, plus the added of me getting old, or it being rigged..lol whatever the case may be. One song "Shake it off - Taylor Swift" is the current here at the mo' (today being 01/09/14) "humbug"
Over the time from when you were born til now, what are some of the songs that have become #1 that you've thought were totally sh*t in your opinion?

I will always hate MmmmBop by Hanson with a seething passion. The late 90s were absolutely lousy with maudlin, teenybopper, bullshit pop. The worst part about it was that I was the exact age that type of music was marketed to. I get mad thinking about it.

Pretty much every song that hits #1 is pure shit. It doesn't even phase me anymore, bc all these people who become #1 are all sell-outs.

Oh, yes, I remember it but I could always turn it off - which I did every damn time.
There have been vile #1 hits since before Stephan Foster was a twinkle in his father's eye. To demonstrate this to me, my father managed to find a single (45, if you know what I mean) of "Barney Google (With the Goo-Goo-Googley Eyes)". Dad found the group "Three Dog Night" equally awful due the relentless repetition of the "chorus".
You aren't alone. Hideous hits go back for centuries.
Why this persists today, is another discussion when I am less in my cups.
