2008 in review: chart topping music…

The following are the 10 best selling 2008 singles according to ITunes (which, as we all know, seems to be God these days). I think they accurately represent most of what’s wrong with our generation.

1. Leona Lewis – “Bleeding Love”
2. Coldplay – “Viva La Vida”
3. Flo Rida featuring T-Pain – “Low”
4. Katy Perry – “I Kissed a Girl”
5. Rihanna – “Disturbia”
6. Lil Wayne with Static Major – “Lollipop”
7. Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown – “No Air”
8. Natasha Bedingfield – “Pocketful of Sunshine”
9. Sara Bareilles – “Love Song”
10. Rihanna – “Don’t Stop the Music”

 7 pop songs, 2 hip-hop, and 1 measly alternative represented by Coldplay??? Where’s the Fleet Foxes, or the Ting Tings, or Radiohead? Unfortunately the world’s rise in idiots seems to be directly related to its rise in terrible music. I’m speechless… speechless and depressed.
