Top 40 is supposed to be number one because it is marketed to be everyone's number "2;" that impresses me naught!
Frankly, my entire argument has been based on the numbers - you attempt to apeeal to emotion. I could not care less about any of the three, but the net results are my benchmark.
Go Pistons!
do the phrases "long term marketability" and "staying power" and "crossover success" not infer a certain amount of numerical success, or do I have to put a dollar amount and a total number of records sold with every post.
Whether you're impressed by Top 40 or not, its where the long term success lies. If 50 cent wasn't also in the Top 40, he'd not be nearly as successful as he is right now.
