I'll use Enchanted as an example again....
But there is a difference... Take Enchanted vs WANEGBT. Both are pop. WANEGBT is radio friendly Enchanted is not. Or Safe and Sound and Begin Again. Both of those are country/folk/Americana but one is radio friendly and one isn't. When Speak Now came out one of the biggest questions was "where is she going to get her singles from" because most of the songs on the album didn't fall into the "radio friendly" category. They were too long, too good, not dance tracks, not country, too pop for country, too country for pop, the lyrics were too deep etc etc etc.
So by saying there are 6 radio friendly songs on the album it doesn't mean there's just 6 pop songs. Some of those 6 songs could be country radio friendly too. Who knows.
There could be 6-7 Begin Agains and WANEGBT and 10 Safe and Sound and Enchanted.
Or they could mean there's 6 pop songs and 10 country songs but those 10 country songs are too hickville for them and country radio is a vaste wasteland of twang, beer, cousin loving and infidelity so they don't consider them music at all. "He'll yeah send those bumpkins back to Nashville! Get er done!"
Now who wants to troll carriefan.com? 
How to you sell out while being on top? Nothing wrong with having some diversity.
didnt they also say it was like Beautiful Day ??
