I call bullshit on that. Repetitive exposure to some nasty song isn't enough to make you like it. On the contrary, it can make you hate it even more. I know it from my own experience. I hate that frog Adele. Nevertheless, I had to listen to her stupid songs every day, until I could no longer put up with her croaking and I switched to another radio station.I call bullshit on that.

I agree with this totally. I listen to a lot of those bad songs, only if i find good meaning. I usually don't like pop at all, but some songs are too catchy to miss out on.
