When I first started AppSumo, my goal was to make $3,000/mo so I could work on the beaches of Thailand. Last year, I took home $3.3M in income. I collected the top 25 books that have helped me the most: noahkagan.com/top-25-books

@tadi.

And to think, these are just the released songs. Imagine how many rejects they have

This is pretty much the same point my dad always made when talking to me about blogs I've started before. He's made a bunch of money monetising his ones but I gave up too early on all of mine.

Justin Bieber is actually different from other singers. Almost every song he has made has blown up. 30% of his songs that you listed as successful are mega successful. The other 70% are also pretty popular.

@andrekazadayev

This doesn’t account for a the songs that don’t get released. When you factor that it is more like 98%

This metric makes little sense because the Albums are meant for die hard fans not every songs meant to be a hit.
