I don't like most of the top #1 hits. Averaging the masses of people will give average music.

No, it's not average music. It's the #1 music averaged over the population. If you don't understand the difference, you're there one who's average.

I don't agree with "Every top 5 song, from 1958 - 2016, so we can stop arguing about when music was still good".

Because "top 5" doesn't mean "good", does it?
