"What do those popular songs have?"

After careful listening to popular "songs", I noticed some very particular similarities among them.

These songs have the same characteristics which makes them great! (Not all great things are good though *Cough*Jusehember*Cough*)

What are these characteristics?

1) Melody that is Repetitive and Easy to remember. - Our brain likes patterns. Admit it, even though you don't like those popular "songs", the melody of those "songs" are stuck inside your head! Why? Because it's (a) Repetitive, and (b) Easy to remember. It's basically a pleasure for your brain which is the reason why it is betraying you in terms of your music preference.

2) Catchy Lines that is constantly Repeated. - Never mind the Stanzas of the songs. You could just fill it up with " I like jellies, I like jelly, and me so jelly" then bring in a Catchy line like "and I was like, jelly, jelly jelly oh oh ohhhhh." together with a equally Catchy and Repetitive Melody. That will surely make your listeners remember your song.

3) High notes in the middle of the low notes - Do you get it? Add a high note after singing in a low tune then lower down your notes again. An example of this is the song "Paparazzi". Listen to this carefully (Well, play the song.), "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me, Papa, paparazzi.". Why does it sound so good to the ears? Was it autotune? No! It's because your brain was BLASTED with it! The part of the song prior to the high note puts you into a state of relaxation (Relaxed in a sense that you have accomodated the music). After blasting you with a high note, your mind was altered into a "emergency state" which increases your attention and focus to the source of the stimuli enabling you to remember it easier.

This 3 stuffs, are the MAIN factors that makes a song a HIT!

However, there are other ways to make a song popular.

This includes, but is not limited to:

1) Violent Lyrics

2) Cool and Noisy Melody (By Cool I mean, it's "different")

3) Controversial Artist

4) Hidden Satanic Messages

5) Controversial Lyrics

6) Making your song banned in other countries.

7) Spreading conspiracy theories about your song.
