I guess it just depends on what we base popularity on -- can it JUST be on sales alone? Or can it be on cultural impact? People can be over-exposed and thrown in our faces constantly but does that make them popular? The best? Hardly -- "reality" television "celebrities," for instance, get a LOT of screen-time during their initial celebrity status, but just because they're all over the news doesn't mean they are popular in the sense of being well liked -- they're popular because, well, media outlets are forcing them on us.

I agree with this 100%. Look at Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (I think those are their names) and those kids from Jersey Shore. I don't think that many people actually like them, but they are constantly on the news and being blogged about. And I know I'm sure sick of hearing about them, lol.
