Here's a link. Digest this one for a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artists_achieving_number-one_hits_in_the_United_States_and_United_Kingdom_simultaneously

For those that don't want to click, the link has a list of bands that have had simultaneous #1 hits in both the U.S. and the U.K.

Here is that list:

1 The Beatles (1964-70, 2000-01)
2 The Monkees (1967)
3 Simon and Garfunkel (1970)
4 Rod Stewart (1971)
5 Men at Work (1983)
6 Beyoncé Knowles (2003)
7 Coldplay (2005, 2008)
8 Lady GaGa (2009)

Anyone notice anything really, really, really stupid about that list?

Lady GaGa. Who the hell is this, and why does the song sound like complete ass? For those that want to torture themselves, here's the song:

What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. You. People?

I'm not talking about the good people found here. No, I think you'd have more sense. Instead I'm talking about the absolutely terrible musical tastes that have propelled this crappy song to #1. No, it isn't catchy. No, it isn't good. No, the beat isn't amazing.

It sucks really, really bad.

I'm ashamed, for the first time in my life, to call myself a human.

Mellow out man. If you don't like the music, then don't listen to it. That's what I always do.

First of all, what ISN'T wrong with people?

And get over it.

Lady gaga was number 1?...I've never heard this song before. It's pretty bad...

Yay for the beatles and coldplay

Heh. Wait until you see the four page spread that Entertainment Weekly just did on her, your head will explode.

What is it with people hating on Coldplay!?

It needs to stop!

Most of these lists are paid for by the record companies. Also the magazine tries to remain very very neutral, to avoid criticism. Thus, the first four.

1 The Beatles (1964-70, 2000-01)
2 The Monkees (1967)
3 Simon and Garfunkel (1970)
4 Rod Stewart (1971)

Nobody will argue that those four are top notch. There classics.

And that song is actualy kinda catchy. It has a heavy bass beat, and sounds techno/pop. The average person who doesn't go out there searching for songs, probably hasn't heard much techno, house or anything. So the mix of it with pop, which is basically what timbaland does with all the songs he mixes, is new and refreshing to the average person.

I will stop when Coldplay stops. 40 Year Old Virgin was right.

You don't dis 'Clocks', yo.

Lady Gaga?

That's a terrible name.

Right on my brother!
*hi 5's Gyrocaptain*

Oh god, now I can't get Viva La Vida out of my head agian!

on topic: so what if other people liked a song that sucked? It's not like they held you down and forced you to lisen to it.

The list gets stupid around the time cable and video games started to come to fruition

Woah man, chill. Its just music. And everybody knows that numbers are pretty much meaningless nowadays.

Take into account that it's only artists that are hitting number one in both the U.K. and U.S.A. So that would be a limited bunch, considering different area's of the world with different cultures tend to enjoy vastly different music.

At least with Coldplay one gets the sense that they're flirting dangerously with some kind of meaning. Even if they're not.

Lady Gaga, not so much.

You are correct, sir, concession made.

Wow chill you over reacting fuck. Who really cares? No one but your own down syndrome self. If you don't like it then don't listen to it you moron. Jesus nice job wasting everyones time with this extremely gay shit. Please as a suggestion either a) chop off all your fingers so you cant post anymore of your shitty posts on this forum or b) tie chicken wire to a pole and then make a loop around your head. Then glue your hands to your head and run as fast as you can away from the pole if done right (which i doubt an autistic idiot as yourself can do) you will decapitate yourself and with your hands glued to your head it will look as though you have pulled off your own head.

Reported! I'll be sure to tell all the kids I work with tomorrow just how you really feel about them being born with mental conditions they can do nothing about.

There are much better ways to tell someone that they're wrong. People will take you more seriously if you don't swear every other word.

Hypocrite much?

You cared enough to reply to my down syndrome self.

Ouch.

Yes, seriously. I'm not as alarmed by the youtube-level insults and flaming as the amount of effort that clearly went into it.

That's the entire point. Lady GaGa is now part of the elite group of artists. Can you honestly compare her to The Beatles?

There are much worse things that the human race has done to shame itself. Nuclear war, genocide, horrific attrocities, and Celine Dion.

That's a good way to put it. I would expect a higher quality of insult here.

Lady who..?

*plays first 3 secs of Youtube clip*

Oh, her. The one with the song I hear 15 times at work.

Not my thing, but obviously a lot of folks in the UK and USA liked it.

As for the question, "What the hell is wrong with people?" I refer to our learned colleague, Mr Homer J Simpson.

"Because people are stupid, that's why. That's why everyone does everything."

Exactly. Have you HEAR her "Music"?

Dude, Bob the Builder was #1 in UK at one point. These charts are about commercial success, if you believe artistic merit and commercial success go hand in hand then there's a lot of artists out there who'll beg to differ.

do what i do, get a gun.

What's that? I smell permaban.

Ahh first you took my post the wrong way it was not irate in any way but more of calmly pointing out your retardedness. And yes i replied to your post mainly to piss others off for they really care to much about what i post and what language i use, i find it rather amusing when people report me and why they do it.

I'm going to go with "Because you're an insensitive prick who can't put together a cohesive argument without resorting to outdated grade school insults." Seriously, wouldn't you be more at home on 4Chan?
