Behold, almost every pop song ever.
Formulas are actually very useful for creativity, the most creative artists use them. Arguably the greatest musical geniuses ever (in classical music) used well worn structures to guide their creativity. It gave them the backbone to their compositions they needed and allowed them to be very creative within those structures. So your argument based on the structure of songs is actually very simplistic and irrelevant.
