Title: Brilliant market researched product
Product review: Nobody gets on the radio without the backing of a major label who spend on average $300,000 per song per "artist". ALL music heard on commercial radio has been extensively market researched using focus groups. So the music you hear on radio is deliberately chosen, if not designed, to appeal to the most people in the demographic that is being marketed to. Because so much money is at stake both in terms of profit and promotion, major record companies are interested not in music, but in moving product. Art and integrity don't matter, only sales. That is why we have bland, musical junkfood like Nickleback's The Long Road clogging up the airwaves. And it's only going to get worse as more and more radio stations or marketing outlets are owned by fewer and fewer corporations. Art by committee sucks folks. As a marketing device Nickleback are brilliant, as music they stink on ice. This is about as mindlessly commercial as it gets.
