I think the success of a pop star today...

It's used in every other commercial. Three examples of songs off the top of my head that were fucking everywhere when they were on the charts. Didn't even have to go into huge offenders like NSYNC, Justin Bieber or Britney Spears.

I see what you mean, but let's face it. Artists who usually a song like that overplayed typically get the one-hit wonder treatment. The song becomes overexposed and the artist can't reclaim the same effect. No one cares about the three women you listed as examples. I doubt people today don't have alternative means to not hear music they don't like. Plus, do you hate their songs so much that you would actively search for videos of them and nasty comments about the artists and their fans? Not to judge you personally, but I find that to be a waste of time

If that's true whatsoever, these would be three really poor examples to try and use to support such a theory.
