Mason’s Observations: If They’re Still Hits, They’re Still Hits

Many of the songs radio people have been complaining about playing endlessly since last summer are also still in the Spotify Top 50. You can view them either as “burned out” recurrents or future power golds with minimal burn and massive favorability. Just to name a few: “Die With A Smile” #6, “Birds of a Feather” #10, “I Had Some Help” #24, “Beautiful Things” #25, “Good Luck, Babe!” #28, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” #29, “Lose Control” #33, “Espresso” #35 and even the 27-year-old “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls at #43! Clearly, these mass-appeal, ultra familiar superhits all have everlasting appeal.
