I am not ok with this.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that the sims music was almost always instrumental with the occasional simlish.
Adding current pop songs does not fit the sims music style at all.
Even the sims 2 music was a bit of an adjustment.
I pray I can turn off all pop music crap in the options so I can just hear the normal instrumental music.
