Admittedly, we can be music snobs.  After all, who doesn’t enjoy being a little self-righteous about their music taste?  In an effort to understand the ‘Belieber’ generation, we’ve instituted a weekly “What The Kids Are Listening To” music hour at Songkick.  For today’s inaugural playlist (strategically played after lunchtime so there was no excuse to escape) we listened to the latest auto-tuned sensations amidst comments from the developers like “Can we stop scrobbling for this hour?”, and “this is like hanging out in a small town McDonald’s carpark drinking Spumante”.  I think they secretly liked it.

On the music player this week was the first 20 songs from the Billboard Hot 100 that were available on Spotify.  For a little pop trivia, 5 of the top 11 on the Hot 100 are songs written by songwriter and producer “Dr. Luke”, which is maybe why they sound pretty similar.
