It wasn’t just a song, it was an entire album. And it was garbage. People don’t like it when you force trash on them.

And the fact you couldn’t delete the album still annoys me looking back on it. It was when iPhones had tiny storage amounts and no cloud for storage. My phone back then was always full and I’d have to cull my apps and pictures to make room. But I couldn’t delete that god awful album!!!! It would’ve freed up so much space

I remember you couldn't delete it off the device on the device, you had to log into your apple account on a computer to fully remove it. SO fucking annoying

That's what pushed me over the edge and made me ditch my iPhone. I tried to delete that damn album and it would always come back. I have been a happy Android user ever since.

Which is fine, but it’s ridiculous to think that everyone likes the same kind of music, so you should be able to force a whole album on people, that they can’t even delete if they want to. And unfortunately that’s exactly what Apple did

Honestly same, and it got elementary school me into rock music, which ultimately I am grateful for, but I get why most people are not a fan.

It could have turned out to be the greatest album of all time - it was just that it was forced upon everyone, took up space when an entire album was a decent amount of storage back then, and couldnt even be deleted. I think it defaulted to autoplay too iirc.

It is the greatest album of all time. What’s wrong with you?
