'The powers that be' are the humans that attend the shows and buy the CDs. That is what by definition determines popularity. [/QUOTE]But if consumers were deciding popularity, how is it that all these much-hyped pop idols and whatever else get 1 or 2 number ones and then fade away forever? Surely if they were good enough to get a number one on there own merit they would have at least a few more before fading?[/QUOTE]... why Britney is fading out -- she doesn´t have enough talent that would keep her name on highlights. And the people who support her don´t care if she has talent at all. She´s a trend. Or at least that is how I see it.
