Today 's American music is derived from past music. Jamestown is the founding place of American music, as explained in Chapter 4 of "The History of Music in American Life" by Ronald Davis. However, it was not until the early 18th century that the work was invented by composers Billings and Hopkinson's music. At that time, Francis Hopkinson was a popular composer, but neither altering music of today's society nor influencing it. William Billings is an original composer who has great influence in writing in his mind, attracting all classes, and promoting "American" music.
When music first came online, it was mainly due to Napster and other forms of music piracy. Except for one country, every kind of recording industry has been catastrophically damaged. For this reason, country music accounted for the majority of billboard charts in the early '00s. Due to the popularity of streaming services, Wal-Mart halved the CD segment in 2014, earlier sales declined. The influence on the top artists of the era after Spotify is clear. Since streaming media dominates music consumption, we should expect that these trends will continue. More songs, more dominant star artists, less country music, and finally became more unique songs.

Illegal copying of music is the biggest enemy in the industry. From the era of Napster and the era of file sharing, the piracy of music was a worm that the industry could not regain it. Paid streaming service provides a little comfort for scratches left by "free" music. YouTube is a popular platform behind the music industry and has been trying to provide answers to your question (in its own way). But is this useful for artists? YouTube is the world's largest music streaming platform. Estimated users are 1 billion people. In other words, one in eight people all over the world visits this site every month. According to site-specific statistics, one third of people on the Internet are watching their videos. These are serious figures for artists and record companies who are concerned that this platform is not functioning sufficiently to compensate music producers fairly.
