"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

If any chart topper is going to contribute to proletarian revolution, it's probably Ke$ha.
She's labored under the thumb of Sony records, and couldn't even get out of her contract after they set her up with a violent rapist for a manager. When she attempted to sue in 2015, he was able to leverage manufactured evidence against her, then countersued for defamation based on her private texts he uncovered in discovery. Just listen to this -- she's a better person to focus on than Britney. I don't think Spears has ever written something as overt, unless Toxic is some kind of metaphor for late stage capitalism.
