Hey Chris - regarding Morgan Wallen, I agree with you about "Last Night." There really is no big hook or high point in the song like "You Proof" and "Thought You Should Know." Both of those songs only reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's odd.

But like Taylor Swift, Wallen is just insanely popular. I've always joked about megastars like them - "they could fart into a studio microphone and it would still be a hit."

I also have always believed that the average listener doesn't have much say in what song tops the chart(s). What really happens is it's jammed down people's throats so much that it gets stuck in their head. And what that happens, people decide they "like" the song.

Radio airplay, I believe, has more to do with corporate politics (between radio and labels) than it does true public popularity.

Does this make sense?
