Absolutely - if Ed and Bruno were more prevalent, no doubt. But look at the actual Hot100. It's just not that, it's very dominated by unlistenable stuff.


Ēd Sheeran was so prevalent at one point that they had to change the rules for the Top40 (in the UK), limiting it to 3 from the same artist [0].

16 out of the top 20 songs were from Ed when he released his 2017 album ÷.

Yes, Ed as an individual is amazingly prevalent, I was aware of that. But overall, that kind of music, is not. Have a look at the Hot100 right now:

clearly the songs are all very “listenable”—they’re the most popular songs in the country and apparently the world right now
