These seemingly endless threads complaining about the "Hot 20" leave me cold.
Frankly, I care about the "Hopped-up 20" -- good or bad -- about as much as I care about golf. I don't go there, so who cares?
I think that some people are troubled by the fact that they aren't in the "Hyped 20".
But so long as the Hot 20 exists, I suppose that we will continue to see these kinds of threads on a regular basis.
So someone campaigns for inclusion in the "Hyped 20", and lines up a group of buddies to help them get there. Big deal. Perhaps such artists deserve to be in the "Hyped 20" -- merely as a reward for making the effort necessary to gather a clique of people around them.
I am not in the Hot 20, nor will I ever be in the Hot 20.
But I've got things that actually matter to occupy my time.
More power to 'em, and to all of their voting classmates.
