I considered turning this into some kind of April Fool’s Day prank, where the list would be almost entirely Justin Bieber songs or something, maybe with a Black Eyed Peas or David Hasslehoff thrown in for good measure. I even went so far as to suffer through a few minutes of two of Bieber’s videos on YouTube, that’s how committed to the idea I was. But, like a lot of April Fool’s Day pranks, it just wasn’t worth the effort and wasn’t very funny. So I decided to just share with you my actual March mix.
Though no doubt my page ranking has just jumped a few notches somewhere just by mentioning Bieber’s name.
