One in a million still implies over 8000 successful artists at any given time.
Assuming an average tenure of 20 years in the limelight, that's 32000 over the course of a 80 year lifespan, which is probably more than anyone will bother to listen to in a lifetime.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of historic and famous artists.
When put in that perspective it actually makes total sense why no one will bother paying to listen to the 50 000th most popular artist, the chances of any given person being more interested in the other 49 999 at any given time is approaching 100%.
- jononor 3y agoAssuming 100 different styles of music, there can then be 80 paid artists per style? Just 20 bands if a typical 4-piece. That is not so great for those that primarily listen to one or two styles. Today there are nearly 100'000 active bands within the metal genre alone.
