How to use "Popular" in context?
In today's society, it can be tough to differentiate between what is popular and what is good. But popularity is not always indicative of quality. For example, the so-called "Top 10 Songs of All Time" compiled by Rolling Stone magazine is not necessarily the best or even the most popular songs of all time. Whereas some of the older and less popular songs, such as Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower," might be counted as some of the best ever written. Popularity is relative, and what may be popular one day may be unmentionable the next.
