Good point. The grip on the industry has shifted, although it’s still there but in different ways. At least artists have a small chance to get a dedicated loyal following now with sites like band camp and direct sales.

Streaming has changed the long play format, and the idea of being a 'one hit wonder' has changed with it. It depends on the frame you're using... but I'd bet on Mark Ronson being the biggest one hit wonder of all time with Uptown Funk (until you see he's produced dozens of #1 hits and has tons of nominations and awards).
