The 200 most popur new tracks now regularly account for less than 5% of total streams. Never before in history have new tracks attained hit status while generating so little cultural impact such as with Elvis or the Beatles. The song catalogs in most demand are by musicians who are in their 70s or 80s or dead. The best-selling physical format in music is the vinyl LP which is more than 70 years old. Music algorithms are designed to be feedback loops, ensuring that the promoted new song are virtually identical to your favorite old songs. All is not entirely bleak though. The apparent dead ends of the past were circumvented. Music-company executive in 1955 had no idea that rock and roll would soon sweep away everything in its past. When Elvis took over the culture--coming from the poorest state in America, lowly Mississippi--they were more shocked than anybody. It happened again the following decade, with the arrival of the British Invasion from lowly Liverpool (again, a working-class town, unnoticed by the entertainment industry).

Consider purchasting "Old Records Never Die," by Ian Hunter.
