Melody grabs you.
Lyrics hold you.
Vocal stirs you.
Your emotions react.
You want to hear it again.
You feel good playing it for and recommending it to your friends.
The process repeats with them.
And enough people actually buy it.

Beyond that, imo it is all business and promotion as previously discussed.
