Musical Chairs
Musical Chairs seems to be a favorite game in today’s music industry that goes on almost too much for fans to keep up with who won the game. In reality, this analogy closely applies to a lot of popular music, making fans question what really is “popular.” Does music get to be popular if it [...]
