Blair’s idea, however, has been backed up even in 2012 by a psychology of music researcher Dr. Victoria Williamson at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Williamson told NBC News about the “mere exposure effect,” which relates the act of listening to music, to how people would react from it. It eventually makes people like these songs due to constant exposure.
