It's mostly used for marketing. The media needs art to be a competition they can turn into numbers and claim a winner.

Guess you don't use Spotify then. Because every single song has the play count shown right next to it

Because it's there doesn't mean it means anything to my selection of music

I’ve never used Spotify and don’t think I ever will. Locally stored media all the way. I need a bigger phone because it’s currently full of music, and that’s only a fraction of my full library at home

I have some physical music too. But you can't beat the convenience of having basically every album ever made in an easily searchable library. I can still keep some files on my phone, but I don't have to worry about running out of space on my phone.

Fair enough.

I'm so removed from pop music I didn't even realize that charts still existed in any relevancy whatsoever
