Bad Romance, ha timeless appeal! :firega:

Quote

In a study published Thursday in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts, she and her colleagues compiled lists of earworms from around 3,000 participants to see why some pop songs wiggle their way into people’s heads and stay there.

The Lady Gaga hit, which is always at the top of people’s lists, has been developing its own toxic relationship inside the mind of Dr. Jakubowski, who hasn’t heard it in months: “It’s been persisting for two days straight,” she said.

No impact they said. No longevity they said :ladyhaha:

Just read through the research article now. "Don't Stop Believing" wasn't a number one hit!? How? :O

Music, not the charts. :firega:

Multiple things affect its highest peak

 

How high a song peaks can be misleading as to how big a hit it actually was
