I semi enjoy my faves not always being successful.
While Beyonce is successful in terms of sales right now, I love the fact that I can show people her songs from 4 and they didnt know them before I showed them.
I loved RITD so much more before it blew up (just like PUK

) and I will not be turning on my radio for the next three or four months since SLY will be smashing and it's my favorite song of all time. I was here for Adele during 19 and I actually think i prefer it over 21 since its more indie.
Maybe it's just the hipster in me.
I feel like music is more personal to me when I don't talk about it with other people for some reason, which is why I never talk about my extreme faves.
