Exactly! It sucks doesn't it? I really think these top-40 "artists" are manipulating & brainwashing people! What's even worse is they ALWAYS get away with it without any repercussions because either people are ok with it or they are completely oblivious to the fact! How do they accomplish this? The answer is by doing things such as: Promoting there "hotness factor" (this only applies to popular singers like Beiber),promoting said singer in a movie or TV show (see:Disney Channel stars),contests where you can enter for a chance to hang out or go to dinner with a popular singer, writing a sappy cookie-cutter love/break-up song that people can emphasise with, getting people to vote for them at award shows,having a popular singer be a judge or contestant on a reality show, getting there own sitcom/reality show/cooking show/gardening show/home renovation show/talk show/cartoon/pre-school show, being a guest star or voiceover on a popular live-action show or cartoon,showing up on commercials,etc!

However there is a high risk that comes with doing this because the singer could do something to make people hate him or her but if done correctly could have artists & record labels reaping ALL the rewards!

What's the point of doing all of this? So they could gain loyalty & tweens would buy there albums & other merchandise which means money for the artist & record label! It's a vicious never-ending cycle (which should be illegal BTW) that I'm glad I eventually grew out of! Why don't you ever see any of this brainwashing & manipulation crap with game composers? Because they are talented enough they don't need to do any of that in order to get people to buy there albums! THAT is the reason why I prefer game music (not to mention it's better & more memorable then most top-40 songs & more diverse)!

Let me say this:most (there are some exceptions hense why I said "most") Genesis,Master System,& arcade BGM is better then ANY top-40 tween pop song! In fact almost everything played on Radio Sega is better! I am glad this website exists because it's a nice escape from all this top-40 stuff that's currently plaguing the mainstream radio!

EDIT:why can't I change my font type & color?! I was able to before!

EDIT 2:
what songs do you like on here?

How did this become a thread about hating on the mainstream music instead of liking Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic games have been bloody awful. But I still love sonic 1, 2 and sonic adventure. I must admit I feel sorry for poor Alex Kidd, he deserves a new game
