I recognize none of those songs. Heck, I recognize less than half the artists on the list.  :huh:

This.

I mean with just the set below, you get to almost half the artists on that list:

Radiohead
Rihanna
Beyonce
Chris Brown
Adele
Lady Gaga
Jay-Z & Kanye West
Britney Spears

He lies. If he heard them, he'd recognize them if nothing else from being in the room while Riley and I watch Glee. :P

He stays in the room?  You have a much higher tolerance than I do Max :P

So are you supposed to be a hipster if you recognize the Billboard top 20 or if you don't?

I am not familiar with those songs titles but I might recognize some of them.  The following artists I do not recognize: M83, Pistol Annies, DJ Khaled, SBTRKT, Drake, Nicola Roberts, The Joy Formidable, Frank Ocean, and Kelly Rowland.

Pretty sure you are supposed to despise anybody who makes it onto the Billboard top 20 if you are a hipster.  Or used to like them but then they got lame.

These are the names I recognize. And Nicki Minaj only makes the list because I saw her mentioned by you on here. :P

Oh wow, I didn't know Britney Spears wasn't a known name.  Chris Brown is a talentless hack and known most recently for beating up Rihanna.  Adele has been dominating the airwaves since the Grammy's this year. I know mongers must know of her as she has to be playing non-stop in her native England.

Kelly Rowland is a former member of Destiny's Child.  Drake is like Nicki, one of the rappers under Lil Wayne's crew.

Or like them in an ironic fashion. ;)

Oops, I did i again. Britney should be on that list. Though I wasn't aware that she came out with anything new.

I just don't listen to radio all that much, and when I do it's either info radio or classical music, or some station that plays stuff that's 10+ years old. That is, if I don't just turn to Last.FM. And I don't follow celebrity news in general.

Also he did the song they danced to in that one wedding video.

Fair enough. Yeah I was just putting together a list of names that I thought people would know, regardless of new music or what have you. :)

On my way home I put on a peppy playlist. Out popped Countdown and Niggas in Paris. Heard Rihanna, Drake, Gaga, Jay-Z, Kanye and Beyonce. :lol:
