How is Closer so disgustingly successful?

I heard this song for the first time yesterday on XM radio and it wasn't even that good. I was honestly waiting for the song to end because I wanted to see if they would play PI (they didn't :toofunny:). Its really not that good though, imo.

I can't listen to it without laughing whenever the electric kazoo starts playing

Just replayed it, all I can hear now is kazoo now.. 

Also the guy who's signings vocals are pretty awful, more autotune needed :laughga:

Who has 230 million dollars? Who has a grammy and is oscar nominated? Who has a golden globe? Who has an established fan base? Who is building her legacy into a legend? Who cares if they have a #1 tbh. They will soon be forgotten. The same happend with PSY, like, where is he now?:giggle:

I see them as sluts/prostitutes. They are only there to satisfy our need for a bop, but other than that, they are useless and have no impact on the real world:diane:

It's so successful because it's a fun summer song that gets people in the mood. It's very catchy and it makes you feel like you're at the beach. Also makes you think about your lover. 

The haters can stay mad

Agreed

Its a huge song played at frats and parties at my big 10 college and almost every college town I've been to this season so far

Yeah... this!!!

But, it works! He's not really meant to be a vocalist... he's a DJ/producer. So him doing vocals is definitely outside of what made them "successful".... However, he's so CUTE. His look is money in the bank. So throw a little auto tune on it and they've got millions of bucks in their pocket.

Is it art? Ehhhhhh.... I dunno about that (but it kind of is, see my prior post). But art aside, it's a pop hit. It's money. 

Most of all, I wanna do him... Autotune and all:

I love Halsey but the fact that this song is #1 a no no. Also, the song isn't terrible, it's just the fact that this is #1 is terrible.

because it's an EDM song and their sound is what's ruling the radio rn. This is also following up to two of their hits their year, "Roses" and "Don't Let Me Down." It's not that surprising lol, they're on fire rn. It's not uncommon nn

Yeah, as much criticism as I give them, these guys have worked their ass off for what they have achieved. They also have a weekly "YouTube Top Songs" radio show on SIRIUS/XM that started last year on BPM (or Electric Area, can't remember which). 

Point is, they are hustling and cranking out the music. It's easy to sit behind a computer keyboard and criticize. Much more difficult to sit behind the decks and make hits. Good on them.

Closer is a love song, PI is a break-up song.

So when those flop teens start breaking up, they'll turn to PI :poot:
