Lol, pop music is designed to be catchy, my friend. And catchy is a formula, although I can't find the link to the study. However, I did find this hilarious list (www.theregister.co.uk). Note Fat Lip. Bahahaha.

Also note that other than Neil Young, all CDs in my car right now are ridiculous anti-pop albums (read: prog metal concept albums). So I win.
