This seems like a failure in statistics.

Lets say in 1 year 10 songs are created and 2 of them are 'creative'. You'd think that 20% of music is creative.

Now lets say we have the production explosion and now in 1 year 100 songs are created and 4 of them are creative. You would think creativity has fallen off a cliff when it has really doubled.

In addition trying to compare with the previous payola ridden system were winners and losers systematically chosen by a wealthy cabal seems rather asinine. It only worked because there was a limited number of radio stations mostly. Even if production costs stayed high, distribution costs dropping would have changed the model dramatically anyway.
