"Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol; co-co-co-co-cocaine"
The most simplistic of lyrics and the most potent earworm.

"Devil in Disguise," Elvis Presley - 3.01 seconds 20. "Candle in the Wind," Elton John - 3.04 seconds 6 of them are enjoyable numbers and 1 (“I will always love yoooooooooooooooooooo”) is pretty annoying, at least to me. I’ve never had to say, “I wish I could stop singing that stupid song to myself” for any of them. Science, eh? I wonder how they reached that conclusion. Thanks for posting.

I'd wager you've heard most of the others without knowing the titles. Only song on that list I haven't heard or even heard of is Rivers of Babylon. Most of them were massive hits that played everywhere on everything and would've been impossible to miss unless you were living under a rock. I actually think the list was generated by how quickly people could recognize the songs. I'd say it's almost impossible not to almost instantly recognize Wannabe.

Been listening to Love's Forever Changes a lot lately and this song is ridiculously catchy, especially when the horn starts complimenting the vocal hook:

Since the Beatles broke up in '70 I have had no interest in the Top 40. My musical attention has been drawn to "classical" music, opera, oldies from the '50s and '60s, and the so-called Great American Songbook (Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, etc., my parent's generation). I was once taken to task on the old boards for not knowing who Adele was after she was picked to write a theme song for a James Bond movie. I am, however, unrepentant. The only stations I have on my car radio are the classical, the oldies, and NPR.

I've gone through years of basically ignoring mainstream music too where I explored classical, jazz, metal, prog, etc., but it crops up everywhere: TV, film, commercials, stores, friends/family, randomly on YouTube, etc. You might actually like Adele given that she's the classic example of someone with an old soul. This was one massive hit that can manage to bring a tear to my eye:
