Default Why do we rate things on scales of 1 to 5?

Looking at the way my winamp lets me rate my music it gives me the option from one to five.
Youtube has also a one to five rating scale.

What advantage does a one to five scale have over a one to ten scale?

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
