This just in: The typical American consumer is a giant fuckface. As it turns out, the music-buying public has worse taste in music than we ever could have imagined. MTV published the top selling albums and songs on iTunes this year, and the questionable results make me want to go Picasso on my aural receptors.

Say the results: “Maroon 5’s It Won’t Be Soon Before Long was the year’s most-downloaded album, followed by Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black and Kanye West’s Graduation. Fergie’s ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry (Personal)’ was the most-downloaded song, ahead of West’s “Stronger” and Soulja Boy’s ubiquitous ‘Crank That.’”
