A song has to be heard a number of times to register in your head so that it grows on you. That is where radio can make a song by playing it many times,while on Spotify you may only listen once. By listening only once,it has no time to grow on you and you soon forget you ever heard it.I've heard songs on the radio that I didn't like the first time but after hearing it a number of times and hearing the meaning in the song, I began to like it,next thing I'm singing along with it and maybe buying it. I've experience the same thing in reading a book, often you will miss thing in the first reading that will stand out in the second reading, especially the bible.
The mind likes familiar things.You have to practice over and over what ever you are doing to become comfortable with it and therefore good at it, be it music or a sport. A new song is strange to the mind,hard to get the whole story with one listen, impossible to be comfortable with it until several listens.A song that grabs you on the first listen will be a major hit if heard many times by millions of people,especially if it speaks of a situation that people can relate to in their own lives.
Many songs on the radio are not that good but they become familiar after hearing them many times, you may never buy them but you can manage to listen without turning off the radio.We know that many songs on the radio now are there because big money puts them there, while many good songs never get played because of lack of money and clout to get them there in the first place.
Spotify may get many songs heard once but will never create a hit because once is not enough.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
