popularity blows

I'm trying to understand why, when I go to a shop to buy something, clerks in Japan are always quick to say, "This is very popular". Do Japanese people actually like that?
I was out with the missus looking for a wedding band and we went into a jewellery shop where we were shown a ring that is "very popular" this year. Why would we want the same ring that a thousand other people are wearing?

Am I alone in thinking this?
