I think some of this year's hits are like last year's hits:
Happy = Blurred Lines
All Of Me = When I Was Your Man
Dark Horse = Harlem Shake
Talk Dirty = Thrift Shop
Can't Remember To Forget You = Locked Out of Heaven
The "It's Time" rehash Best Day Of My Life is shaping up to be this year's Radioactive (alternative crossover that will take forever to take off on Pop radio but experience tremendous longevity.)
^ Most rock fans wouldn't consider Coldplay rock though.
Most rock fans are ignorant. . Coldplay started as a rock band, and is leading the pack Linkin Park brought a new different kind of rock with nu-metal back in 2000s with Hybrid Theory and set landscape. Both are legends.
