So I was looking up random music facts and I came across something interesting. A lot of modern pop songs have been critizied or labled as simplistic and regurgitated, but I didn't understand fully why they were given such titles until I watched this video. Apparently several pop songs that have done very well use the same set of chords in the key of D. After watching the video maybe some of you will have that lightbulb moment as I did, and listen for it in future mainstream pop songs to come.

Thanks for introducing such an enlightening video! It's amazing how they were able to find so many songs and I would have never realized it as an avid listener, myself. I think this goes to show that our sense of music hasn't changed much over the years.
