I even heard it on 5FM the other day. I definitely know my music isn't on radio. It seems these days you either have to write very good music or music that is soo bad it becomes "good" ?

There's a decent cover of that too (it's actually listenable):

I was wondering the other day when Jacaranda fm had that complimentary alarm clock.... MOST (not all) of the songs they are playing used to be huge at some stage...okay but some was horrid...

10mill views, just under half a million dislikes, but still, this kind of thing makes me wish the terrorists win.

They may..uhm..well.. not be the best.

But they're certainly not lacking any fame at the moment, they were also on CNN recently. They would never have been able to pull it off with an actual great song - not 10mil anyway.

Stations like 5 target everything at a very specific market. They're not interested in "good" or "bad", they're interested in FIT.

I remember reading something from the guy who wrote that Rebecca Black "Friday" song, he said something along the lines of: it either has to be incredibly good, or incredibly bad to get noticed [on youtube] these days, if he wrote a "good" song it would have just gotten lost amongst the noise.

Ah. I gotcha now.

The bad thing is interesting. It means that people are telling other people about it BECAUSE it's so awful - but it still gets clicks. And clicks are what count! So yes... a song that is merely "good" won't get anywhere.
