Dude take your personal preferences out of it and look at the business. Bullshit or not, each album has multiple singles that fans like. That is what makes a hit album (hit = commercially successful)
There were waay more albums that were hyped this year that had dismal sales. As I said before, just hyping an album is not working anymore. It takes some substance.
Again, you may not like the mtv fluff but there's millions of kids that live and die by it. They are just asking for a bit more than one hit song on a full album now. If you look at the sales figures THEY STILL BUY RECORDS IN DROVES. Sales figures don't lie.
