I like listening to chart music. There. I said it. The Wanted, LMFAO, David Guetta and Maroon 5 - I like them all. Hidden among Green Day and Blink-182 albums are Now! CD's and Ministry Of Sound compilations. Previously I would secretly listen to Radio 1 with headphones in the dead of night, for fear of others hearing (I may be exaggerating slightly there), but now I can openly show my love of all things Top 40. I'd so stubbornly chose to concentrate on rock music, I naively ignored so many songs. I eventually realised that a lot of chart music is good. Really good.
One huge benefit of this musical discovery, is that I can go on nights out without wanting to remove my own ears. I can also listen to radio stations after 9pm, and am deemed a normal person as I no longer have the pop music knowledge of a 90 year old. It's actually led to some amazing revelations, such as that the noises chavs play on their phones on the bus, are actual songs, and that Dubstep isn't some unfortunate walking ailment. Ooh he's got a horrible case of Dubstep. Can hardly get down the stairs.
My favourite song in this recently discovered genre, is this... (though my new found knowledge tells me that it's not found it's way into the Top 40 yet. Impressive. I know.)
