Not everyone consumes music digitally though. Yes, streaming is becoming huge now but imo, like radio the album-buying public is still a thing even though it's dying. It's just that most artists can't trigger it for whatever reason. Be it the music or the promotion.
My theory is that the industry doesn't produce many ''stars'' anymore. And that goes for all the genres (pop, r&b, hip hop, AC). Not many artists on the radio today have actual fanbases. Less stars = less sales.
