Its not that there ahas never been any good top 40, but if something is patrician its almost always an identifier of good taste. Usually patrician artists arent the absolute best, but rather really good and also obscure enough that no one would ever like them just to like them.

Yes. Good pop music is good regardless of how many people like it. Many of today's 'classic albums' were popular in their times.

>he thinks patrician means anything more than music CLT liked
There was so much high quality pop released this year that it's a legitimate contender for Genre of The Year alongside Hip-Hop and Alt. Country. Huge years for both of those music genres as well.

>WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH TOP 40 THE GUIDE
I heard that 2 songs go join usual radio station rotation per week.
assuming 3 songs per album at average go to rotation and after some amount of math I will not post here because almost no one cares, you have 4000 mainstream albums since 100
Now, imagine there is a bookstore with 6000000+ different books inside it.
Now imagine some 4000 random books from this store.
If you enter this store, will you check those books? Probably not, the ratio is 1499 books to 1.
Are those books special compared to all others? Probably not, also remember its a ratio of 1 random book to 1499 non random ones.
Imagine someone giving 1 random book to you and telling you to find something you like there, and then giving you 1499 telling you to find something good on this list, you will obviously find something good on the second case.
Now in this analogy, the 4000 books are mainstream music
The rest is underground music.
The amount of mainstream music is too limited, its so limited that is irrelevant, as some example if you spend alot of time talking about music and discovering it, you will still not discover some genres, like noise black metal, tonefield, dark jazz, doomcore, free funk or whatever and this is not a problem because you cant know every single thing ever and those genres you dont know are just few in world of many.
Not saying you cant listen to mainstream music, in the same way I am NOT saying to you to not care about dark jazz, tonefield, or doomcore, just saying they dont need special treatment

change that to since 1900

Albums as we think of them didn't exist back then and recorded music was still a novelty.

>Albums as we think of them didn't exist back then and recorded music was still a novelty.
If anything, this would just decrease the amount of mainstream albums and make my logic even more valid
>>60379818
hey bro heard the latest recording of beethoven's first piano sonata on edison cylinder? shit's fucking tight

No, it makes you come off as uninformed (this is basic history, never mind music history) and gives me less of a reason to take you seriously. Didn't even bother with the rest of your post.

Yes I knew that
>1900: albums started
was wrong, when I posted
Just used it to get a round number.
Will change it on later times.
