is there a buildup or the beat dropping at any point of the song? or is it about 4 things repeated exactly the same over and over in different arrangements?

Bottom line is that this song was meant to be the lead radio single, and it was meant to be a hit.

for christ sakes it's gone triple PLATINUM in the US

so popularity is how we define "pop"?

and i know that literally sounds ridiculous, but when grunge was dominating the radio, was that the music of michael jackson? of course not

just had to laugh at that

RAM is a VERY commercially and critically successful record

that's pretty hard to do these days in the current music industry climate IMO

that was an EXTREME outlier and you know that

Nirvana booted off jackson, elton john, and prince off the pop charts.

but you know you don't have to be a "pop artist" to be on the "pop chart"

Well their only charting song, "Touch of Grey," is without a doubt pop.

um, no

that's specifically the opposite of my argument, which is why i didn't want to use the popularity of daft punk's album to justify them being "pop"
