we should switch "pop" category into "mainstream"

I'm surprised Radiohead isn't the top artist. They are quite popular.

Metal>mainstream

Janelle Monáe is hardly the first artist that comes to my mind when I think of mainstream :/

But why I do not know most of those "mainstream" artists? [5]

Behold...the tag of Death.

Evil Activities. ))

Similar tags so similar...

if i had a band i would tag it as mainstream

Lots of great artists are mainstream, and I find it hilarious when Beatles fans say they dislike "mainstream" music.

>Jandek

looool hipsters beware

Check your mainstream music taste here http://mainstream.bhteck.com

Pretending to like mainstream has become too mainstream for me.

Jandek ain't mainstream ^^

your mom's mainstream cause we all got to run the train on her at the same time on your bed. and yes all of us touched dicks so cry on that one hosers.

the antidote of mainstream can be controversial, can be unpopular. it can also relate to the listeners conception of the musics intent, is it intended to please/chart or does it have an ALTERNATIVE intent. Mainstream music can include any genre - its the audience that decides what is mainstream -depending on where you identify yourself ; depending on the trends of time. It goes without saying that Mainstream music can be equally meaningful to the individual as anything tagged in opposition

"Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar and unthreatening to the masses,"-- Um, no. It's anything that it's in the MAIN STREAM or charts as it were. Rage Against the Machine are threatening to the masses but very much mainstream.

compare with the alternative tag. as a rule of thumb, today, mainstream is called alternative. and the artists above are what?

Mark Knopfler nonononononononononononononono

Apparently people don't know the definition of "mainstream" music.

Surely anything that gets in the charts is mainstream, isn't it?

Jandek!

fail

Huh? I've never heard of these "Top-Artists" before. No wonder I don't listen to mainstream.

where is coldplay?

If these artists are mainstream, how come I've never heard of them? D8

How many haters are on last.fm? Cool tag but i can't see radiohead on it :P!

anyway, radiohead is very mainstream worldwide. and good too

huahuahuuha who still persists with the "alternative" tag generally are very stupid about music in general

Radiohead is mainstream. Definitely mainstream. Check the masses that listen to it.

"Alternative -> Built by 152,504 people (Used 1,229,471 times)" "Mainstream -> Built by 796 people (Used 4,016 times)" i guess mainstream is actually alternative music style, rofl, check out artists on both tags aswell, rofl hc :D
