    common sense graph makes sense.

    • Mirkwood says:

      Ezzackly.
      This is exactly why I’m sick enough of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift to bang my head against a wall till it bleeds. Overplay turns even great songs into mindless crap you’d rather die than listen to one more time.
      Over-dramatization? Maybe. My point stands.

    Like we haven’t seen a million of these before…

  3. Mike says:

    I listened to “I’m On A Boat” for an hour last week.

  4. mrrix32 says:

    My life is brilliant….

  5. Falcon says:

    Maybe I be the first to complain about the x-axis. It implies that after 100 listens, it starts to get better. The last marker is actually under a different measurement, time since last listened, and that’s how it fails.

    I do like the idea, though personally it takes me a few listens for me to fully appreciate a good song.

  6. Martin says:

    Needs a disclaimer: “Does not apply to Free Bird, Stairway to Heaven, or Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Even 20 or 30 years later I’m still sick of those songs.

  7. Amanda says:

    I think it depends on the song, and the time frame. Hearing some pop song on the radio 50 times in a week is terrible. But there are a few songs on my iPod that I’ve listened to almost 50 times within a few months and they all still sound amazing each and every time.

  8. HalloweenDog says:

    But what if you don’t hear the songs you love on the radio? I don’t like most of the crappy pop songs they play on the radio the FIRST time.
    With me, if I hear a song I REALLY love, I might listen to that song roughly ten times. But then I refrain from it for a while, because otherwise I would get bored of it very quickly no matter how much I love it.

  9. wedgeman says:

    This really applies especially when you get a bit older. Songs get overplayed like mad when you’re a teenager, but almost universally those songs make you nostalgic 10 or 15 years later…

  10. mojojo says:

    Which DOES not count with No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” It killed me the first 5000 times I heard it, and STILL cannot listen to it years later. Sorry. Love ND, just can’t listen to that song.

    “Bizarre Love Triangle” also goes into the DOES NOT sound good after not hearing it a while.

    BAH.

  11. DO NOT says:

    LISTEN TO RADIO!

  12. Ayeka678 says:

    May I forward this to my local radio station. The people where I work listen to the same pop station everyday, and I don’t think I can take hearing the Black Eyed Peas anymore.

  13. Darth Yoda-Wan Windujinn says:

    Methinks this is really only true for those annoying pop songs that are crappy but catchy. If a song is actually /good/, I can listen to it for hours on end, seven days a week, and not get sick of it.

  14. Brian C says:

    so true

  15. jarvic says:

    Let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, and do it, and do it, Let’s do it all And do it, and do it, and do it do it do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it…
    ‘Cause I’ve gotta feelin, (woo-hoo) that tonight’s gonna be a good night, that tonight’s gonna be a good night, that tonight’s gonna be a good-good night… etc

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday and Sunday… etc

      We’re no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I. A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of, you wouldn’t get this from any other guy.I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling; gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

  16. Winman says:

    A example of a good song is Fireflies, or any Owl City song for that matter.

    • Lovely says:

      Fireflies is NOT a good song. It’s actually quite annying, and doesn’t even make actual sense. No one care that you would like to believe the world turns slowly, and obviously if you’re sleeping, you wouldn’t rather be awake. I’m not saying Owl City doesn’t have some good songs, I’m just saying I happen to hate the only one that ets played on the radio.

  17. Lai-Lai says:

    The theme song from Titanic immidiately came to mind.

  18. Me says:

    The creator of this graph has obviously never heard of The Beatles.

  19. Charizard632 says:

    That’s why I hate it when songs get overplayed on my iPod.

    But after about 2 months or 3 months, I seem to like it.
