What is the world coming to? Basshunter #1 in UK charts - sigh :(
I feel sick in my stomach, I really do.
Basshunter, that Swedish ******, is #1 in the UK Charts with his track "Now You're Gone" (basically Boten Anna in English with some changes). LOL @ the media calling him a "Dance DJ" and the song a "house track" - ****s.
Does anyone else truly despise the way things are going? I dont get it, I really dont. Basshunter is such a ****!!!! How the bloody hell can that be called music, and how can it reach #1 in the Charts? disgrace.
Sigh @ all the 12 year old kids or chavs buying the track thinking its music..... 
I thought DJ Sammy was bad but Basshunter takes it to another level.....
*rant over*
I'd hit it.
Right between the eyes.
I don't get it. The new English lyrics that were written for it have dumped the entire IRC-gimmick that made the original such a hit to begin with. How did it go #1 in the chart when what's left is just another generic piece of pop dance a la Pulsedriver or Cascada?
I don't get it either. I have to admit tohugh that the original was quite funny, still hated the song itself but the theme behind it was funny.
Pulsedriver used to be good many moons ago, sigh at him too
if i ever hear this in the club, i would surely slit my wrists 
well, in a club id rather hear shit dance music made by a c-u-n-t, than shit rock music made by myspace c-u-n-t's.
it just means euro dance is getting popluar again. its fun, cheesy, annoying. has all the credentials to sell to the idiots who make certain music get to the charts.
haha this disease is spreading all over the world it seems :P
First we had him here in Sweden for an entire summer, then he went to Holland and now UK.
Thank god we don't hear any more from him here. 
Wow. What's next? Russian version for russian market?

Why are you all so surprised?
Shit music has always been unbelievably popular.
That's good news for Basshunter... and all the atheists, who will welcome this new proof of their theory.
Allright, I know I did that one already somewhere else.

Tunes like this one get pumped out by the bucketload, and none of them hit #1 (most don't hit the charts at all). The only reason this tune stood out was because of the IRC-gimmick in the original Swedish version, which gave it loads of hype via Scandinavian computer geeks. Now that the gimmick is gone, it is surprising that the tune still manages to do as well in the charts abroad, as it doesn't base itself on past pop hits like Cascada or similar acts have done. |

@ it starting with "My name is Inga, and I'm from Sweden."

| Originally posted by RJT No one is claiming all shit music becomes popular - but that it does in general really shouldn't shock anyone. Fucks sake, "Heaven" and "Barbie Girl" were absolutely massive over here in the States. |
If The Powers That Be are trying to make such cringe-worthy euro-dance moments like the chant "techno techno techno techno!" and the rap "I'm serious as cancer 'cause rhythm is a dancer!" seem like genius in hindsight, them Powers are definitely succeeding.
Objectively bad products have a long history of being successful. Cascada, the iPod, Transformers, etc. It's an endless list. I see two reasons for this:
1) Buying often is not an intellectual but an emotional process.
2) People are stupid.
