This is what the music industry has been reduced to. A trend, that’s it, no longevity, just a battle of whose song trends the most, and after a month, we dump it and move on.

Yeah sis but here's the thing, there are US artistes who are making alternative music, good music but do the media houses or even bloggers promote us? Nope. You guys also give attention to what's trending hence fuelling that never ending cycle

TikTok is a good platform for promoting songs but gives your song a short span. Meaning it doesn't keep long in the system after the trend is over.
