A clean question?

31 channels I think and sometimes it's hard to find one with anything decent on. You do get some good programmes but I guess it depends on taste. If you like the chosen dozen artists at the time, you could have programmes all day.

I agree about R and B - I feel for the acts who are pure R and B such as Frank Ocean who are lost in the mix of a few chancers wanting to cross-over to sell a few singles. 2010s is the decade music really did "sell out" - halfway through, we're on course to be the worst decade ever.
The route of all evil, is the record labels and the artists themselves. It's all about money. The reason why our charts are "static" is due to record labels throwing huge amounts of money to radio stations to play the same few songs. Streaming I believe is a way of corruption I feel by merging it into the singles chart.
If you think Music TV is bad, radio is worse. If I hear the 12 month old song "Rather Be" once more, I will scream!!! Hated it first time, hate it now.”
UK Hot 40 etc are played so many times it's ridiculous.
2010's are a terrible era for music. Every era has shocking songs, but this decade appears to be the worst.
Never agreed with streaming. It's not regulated and can easily be corrupted. Downloads were the beginning to an end of the charts as we knew them as manipulation was greater than CD sales. Downloads are good to a point but for 'official' it's all become a sham. It's all about money, sales etc which sell concerts and merchandise etc. There are no musicians anymore, just money making machines and cash cows.
