Some of the problems that have been addressed over and over are these.
The Major Labels don't want to pay the full Mechanical Rate for outside songs so they want the Artist to write their own songs. So they find those fine looking young artists that may be able to sing well and look good but can't write the songs to match. But if they can sell good looks that is what they do. Nevermind that most of the songs are mediocre at best. I occasionally tune a local radio station to see what is playing. Mostly all I hear is a lot of gab and little music, most of which should have never made it into the studio, much less out onto the airwaves.
