1970-1980 is probably the worst time for top 40 music.
Then 1985 to now.
1956 to 1969 is the best for top 40 followed by 1981 to 1984 (MTV era)
MTV helped get new wave and synth pop on to us top 40, 1985 MTV switched to hair metal and glam metal which lasted until 1991, then grunge, alternative, and gangsta rap took over, which the majority of was shit

shit like this makes it clear the people claiming
>OHH MUSIC WAS ALWAYS BAD ONLY THE GOOD STUFF SURVIVED
is bs because there is a lot of wtf songs on there but there are enough classics there. And I bet even the forgotten songs are great

barrier to entry was higher
not just was recording anything costly
there werent any beat generators (yet, depending on how far back you go)

so you needed a band or something to make music
you needed to be good at it, live
and then, maybe, you record
on the flipside, people went out and met each other, because they had nothing else to do at home
