I couldn't disagree more.

It sounds like you were listening to top 40 stations exclusively.

Gotta check out the good stuff, stations like KBCO in Colorado or any of the more local, music focused stations

But then it is no longer an apples to apples comparison. This is Spotify. Spotify is the embodiment of the top radio stations idea.

By that metric, Spotify is actually doing better than they did, if memory serves.

Spotify is both in one.

The modern equivalent would be a curated stream, station, etc.
