Woohoo would have flopped as the lead single

I don't think pop is on the decline at all. "Indie" type music has definitely become commercial within recent years. With Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters and Men, Gotye, Foster the People, etc etc all having Top 40 smashes with major radio backing. Which wouldn't have happened like 5-6 years ago. But thats not really whats singularly dominant. Adele's success is a rarity, that doesn't really reflect the direction commercial music is going. The online popularity of pop artists like Marina and Lana isn't representative of where music is going either. I think were like officially in the age of the internet/technology and now popular music is just a melting pot. Everything is on the forefront. From alternative acts to mainstream pop stars. R&B, EDM....what isn't relevant? Polka maybe.

 

I don't think that pop music is on the decline, but I was pointing out that pop stars seemed to be slacking in the promotion department. Indie music has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years, so this window has been perfect for it to finally enter the mainstream scene.

It would've flopped? excuse me no

 

 

This. The only thing that could hurt it would be the excessive swearing in it.

I completely agree. There hasn't been one dominant genre since 2010-2011 IMO
