Well, first of all, not to be a grammer nazi, but it's "so many people", not "so much people".

To answer your question, I'm sure one of the main things is that it's a change from what is considered popular music these days. It's upbeat and soft, and Adam's voice is a quite unique one.

The overall tone, too, is one of silliness and not much sense. Most other songs have a specific point they are centered around, (usually relationships,) and are pretty straightforward, but Fireflies is about what seems, on the surface, to be a type of bug. Closer inspection reveals that it may have many different subject matters, depending on what you want to believe! The opportunity for opinions and metaphors is incredible.

Mainly, however, it all comes down to public mood. It is hard to calculate what type of song the majority of people will like, and believe me, record companies have been trying for years and years! To use some popular phrases with not much actual reasoning behind them, it's catchy, and it's easy to listen to.

I think that's the best I can answer your question.
