SOAP BOX: POPULARITY CONTESTS

        #1 this. #1 that.
I really don't care anymore.
        Believe it or not. I seriously don't.
        Yes, it's nice for the Boys to be #1 on TRL or on the charts, but I'm not going to die if they're not. I was a bit upset when they didn't make a new sales record with Black&Blue, but only a bit...It's music.
        The whole "battle of the boybands" and pressures to have number-one-everything to show who's best...it doesn't really matter to me. #1 doesn't mean "best." Everyone has their own opinion. Polls, voting, requests...whoever has the most people willing to voice their opinion will get the prize, no necessarily the one who's "best" in your eyes.
        If the Boys put out a record in ten years and only sell 1,000 copies, as long as I have one of those copies, I'll be happy. If they stop touring, I'll live. It might be a bit heartbreaking, but life goes on. If, for some random and improbable reason, they decide to not make music videos anymore, thus are completely out of the TRL picture, I'll be fine...Honest.
