Question:
Why was the song ooombop so popular?
Answers:
It was popular among its audience, which was mostly girls 13 to 15. And of course Hanson was exactly that age range themselves. The girls thought they were cute, which helped. It was a catchy tune and the record company marketed it well to their target audience. Hanson also did their part by going out and touring, playing every TV show that would have them. That audience has money to blow, since they don't have responsibilities, so they went out and bought it in droves.
It was basically a combination of the right song aimed at the right audience at the right time and promoted like crazy. Marketing and image, in other words.
