I mean, if you're haven't really listened to arguably the biggest artist in the world, are you really surprised you don't know about the other big ones?

I mean, if you don't know the name of the guy announced to headline the Super Bowl (by definition, fairly goshdarn famous) it's not like you'd be expected to be in touch with who is popular etc.
