Does no one understand how the show works?

TRL is a show that is solely based on viewer requests. And since the people that seemingly feel the most motivated to call in are POP fans, those seem to be the videos that remain on the top the most. I just watched the top 50 video countdown on MTV, and I want to share a few statistics with you - Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Blink 182 and Eminem all came in the top 10 - for the entire summer. Only BSB and N Sync? Try again. "Freak on a leash" came in at number 18, beating - (you might want to sit down for this) Madonna, N Sync, Britney Spears, Brandy, LFO, Sugar Ray and more.

If you don't like the bands that make it into the top ten everyday, then get up and call and request another video.

Oh, here is another fact for you - Backstreet Boys video for "I want it that way" was on the countdown for 65 days, the maximum allowed. Of those 65 days, it spent 40 at number 1. There is one band that knocked them off. Guess who - Limp Bizkit! N Sync was recently at number 1, and got knocked off by (I don't think anyone will expect this) Tom Greene!
