Because it's all about love.

We never spend time talking to ya
So we figured we'd lay it on ya
Let you know how we feel about love

Hmm, paint a pretty smile each day
Lovin' is a blessing, yeah
Never let it fade away
It's all 'bout love, yeah

Build yourself a true romance
Beauty that surround you
You deserve just one more chance
My dear, my dear, mm

Let the light shine
All through your mind
Feel your little heart aglow
Take the time
Make up your mind
It's all 'bout love, yeah

Talking to yourself is fine
Makes you feel much better
Know just where to draw the line
Yeah, my dear, my dear (haw, yeah)

Mmm, mm, mm, mm
Let the light shine
All through your mind
Feel your little heart aglow
Take the time
Make up your mind
It's all 'bout love, yeah

Talking to yourself is fine
Makes you feel much better
Know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear

Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it
Pretty smile will always say
My dear, yeah

Yes they are.

appealing to very common but exceptionalised and overvalued emotions/drives, it sells well

1. "Popularity" of song mainly measured by exposure to song, which marketing firms can brute force big numbers.
2. Love songs can be abstract enough to avoid saying anything scrutable about capitalism
3. Reminding people of the expectations put on them by bourgeois superstructure to be in a relationship can help induce dysphoria, leading to purchasing things or engaging with media to alleviate that.

Basically the ideal genre to play in the tech isle at Walmart or the radio.

People are lonely and horny yes. Universal themes that reach the widest possible audience. Also people tend to want to fuck the singers so love songs let them fantasize.
