Songs About Sex: They Sell


Psychologists sometimes have a way of proving what you always suspected was true. A recent study of popular song lyrics done at the State University of New York in Albany shows not only that messages about sexual relationships dominate the songs at the top of the charts, but also that songs about sex sell better than other songs. Another interesting finding: country songwriters tend to write about mature, adult relationships, while pop and R&B songwriters write more about hooking up with someone at the local nightclub.
