I've been rather quiet on my chart-rigging investigation, but that's because I've moved into exploring the actual nuts and bolts of how it all works.
This recent piece in Wired, though, shows how the problem is slowly being exposed.

@OutOnTheMoors@beige.party the math to make it big, reminds me of KONGOS. By the time one wondered how "Come With Me Now" got stuck in their head, they were on their way to see them at a local festival. Then there's the designer hit manufacturers, reducing popular music to an equation to pump out fast success with catchy tunes: Shiny Toy Guns, Wolfmother. Remove sincerity from art and it's nothing but formulaic fodder.
