redrocket_pub posted...Villain songs being popular is not a mainstream thing, yeah. That said, it's a phenomenon that definitely extends beyond Board 8. It's a "hardcore Disney fanbase" thing, basically.
"

Is that the same thing as only hardcore fans of history enjoy dictators and serial killers?
What does being a hardcore Disney fan have to do with a subjective opinion regarding a common film that casual and hardcore fans alike have seen? Hardcore fan opinions are only relevant when it comes to judging many works across a large scale, such as film critics being able to weigh an opinion by referencing lesser known movies that a casual goer might not be aware of. An opinion about a song preference in a movie that everyone has seen is entirely subjective and has nothing to do with anything.
