Clearly he doesn't! I do recall reading elsewhere that "Don't Stop Believin'" had a record for one of the most downloaded songs in Ireland. In my opinion anybody with a bit of knowledge of popular culture in the last decade or so would realise that there was a resurgance in popularity for 80s music, aided by films like 'The Wedding Singer.' The problem is, he probably considers all of that to be too cultish. A wrong move ultimately as people are naturally curious and will go and check out songs they hear on soundtracks etc.
I personally see it as trying to take a piece of the pie. (Cowell take a piece of the pie!? Never!!)

A couple of films, and other stuff have had that song in it recently. All of it directed at kids. And thus, the reason Cowell had it on X Factor - get the kiddies involved too!

I don't really think that 'The Sopranos' is directed at kids

*It was played over the final scene of the final episode if you don't know what i'm on about.
