Regarding that 5% of streaming and the statement from Rick that songs older than 18 months are considered old, it isn't really surprising that new songs get only that 5% as there are many, many, thousands of other songs out there. They may get only 10k streams each, but the sum total of their streams will be huge.

I guess it's my demographic, but I looked through that top 100 and could only say "Oh yes, that song" to a dozen or so of them. I recognise quite a few of the artistes and like at least some of what they play, but could put a tune to the name of the songs? Mostly no.

I'm not wholly sure whether that says more about me or about the songs.
