Autotuning has been around for more than 10 years and the last 4 years it has become an essential element of contemporary popmusic, both as an effect (T-Pain) but also as a safety net (last time I watched a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert I shut it down, Tom Petty just sounds horrible through an autotuner). Even the popular comedy serie Glee relies on autotuning. So after Cher released Believe it didn't get forgotten and people are still not bored with it.
