"Bad" is a matter of opinion. Top 40 is just that; the top-selling forty pop singles from a given week. Radio and other music outlets as a rule play what the majority audience wants to hear (usually based on record sales, or listener requests - one hand washes the other, between sales and airplay); the prevailing attitude a few years ago was "We don't care if one out of five people hate it, as long as the other four don't turn it off." The one out of five are the people who seek out the new and different, and keep popular music from stagnating.
