Most people don't see that behind the scenes payola dictates everything you see on charts now... Artists pay to promote their posts on Social media, so only the rich or well funded rise to the top. Artists remix the same tracks over and over because they know doing the same track over and over means they can hopefully capitalize on profits already made rather than creating anything new, which takes more time and costs more. Albums used to be high on filler, I think most people forget how only 2/16 songs made it to radio, while 10 of those tracks were often skipped, while you paid for all of them. now if you buy a single, you're only paying for what's good, even though $1-$2 is still quite high for a single music track if you ask me... Music artists have always been hosed by the industry, good music is always suppressed by gatekeepers that want to influence what everyone gets to hear, but that one little band you like can greatly benefit, and will likely live longer together, by you telling people about them... Stop relying on other people to tell you what's good and let's let the listeners dictate what the charts say...
