After last week’s terrible tragedy, a recent party hit has officially fallen on deaf ears. This hit went from #3 on the charts on Friday (the day of the massacre), with 167 million listeners nationwide. The day after the shooting, the song had dropped by 3 MILLION listeners – because the song was taken off radio playlists. It dropped even MORE on Monday.

By Monday, it had dropped down to 148 million listeners, a 19 million drop from what it had been before the shooting.

It’s a rare thing for this to happen to any song played on the radio, but it does make perfect sense why the song was taken off the airwaves.

It was Ke$ha’s “Die Young”

Lyrics like, “Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young” are obviously some sensitive material in this time of mourning. Now, Ke$ha has taken to Twitter to respond to the issue. [InFlexWeTrust]
