I think that this problem it's actually a media issue... Before the artist didn't have the marketing and publicity campaigns that artists have nowdays 51

Everybody has his own music taste. But I don't see what should make "Tik-Tok" and "Low" (two very annoying song in my opinion) more popular than the Beatles (who made great music). But that's just my opinion.

Personally I think there are more people who still listen to R.E.M., Queen etc. than to semi-good pop music. The newer songs and artist may be forgotten in a few years, but the bands mentioned above made classics and if we still listen to them today, we will still listen to them in ten years.

Welcome to the 21st century of pop teen music. And as Naphia said, these new "hits" will be forgotten (thank God) and the classics will remain.

I believe the only reason people like Rhianna and Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have so many hits is because the music gets old too fast. They have to keep pumping out hits to keep peoples interest up.

that's because the world population when music was bearable was about 4billion, today the population doubled, about 7-8billion. and for some reason the additional new people have shitty taste in music.

In my days, the Beatles were considered by some to be 'Demons straight from the pits of hell' Today they look more like ministers of some congregation compared to the songs of 'fly-by-nights' of today.
Yes, the classics will remain.

Just because they've sold more or had more number ones, does not make them better.
10 years from now who's music will we still be listening too?

Compare that right now we are at around 7 billion people, back then it was at around 4-5 billion?
Also we have the internet and CD's. Back then music could only be bought other ways.
Its a bad comparison in my opinion.
