On Astroworld, Scott used the closing track to hit back against his detractors. If you’re an artist and you know listeners aren’t even going to get all the way through your album, why bother making the end an event?īecause it still helps to set stars apart from their competition.

Because of the frenetic way we consume - a 2015 report from Midia Research suggested “the abundance of choice … is contributing to lower listener engagement with any single artist or release” - a lot of people won’t even make it to the end of an album. But now that streaming is the dominant way that people listen to music, an album’s final track is often an afterthought.
