Why wouldn't they count? Esp. given that "God Save The Queen" was a national event. (The Montgomery bus boycott, Alabama 1956, was a calculated event, but still reflected the society, right?) And how is "Ghost Town" not also written to relate to national events (though it has a local focus, of course)? The music that people say relates to "national events" skews towards things like "Ghost Town" and "God Save The Queen" and away from "I'm Comin' Out" and "Bette Davis Eyes," but I don't see why the popularity of the latter is less indicative of what's going on in the nation i.e. in people's lives (not that it's necessarily all that indicative)?
