Yep, I'm not even a big music person, but Spotify is terrible at predicting music for me, it's so bad I barely try new music because most of it is trash but then again Spotify thinks I like 350+ genres so there is a lot of room for failure. There are also two kinds of people, people who like albums and people who like singles. I'm not an album person because it's often lackluster and repetitive, few bands can really create good albums that surprise me but singles on the other hand can shine and the band knows they can. Just because I like one song doesn't mean I'll like 5 other songs from a band. Most of my favorite music is pretty unknown. I'd imagine hits are just like that hit or miss and good marketing is what really helps a lot of things sell.
