Why does the mainstream industry only want a select few to be popular?

i guess why im so rattled by all these threads, is that people who like mainstream music are relegated to "general listeners" or whatever. I love Carly Rae Jepsen. Ill defend her music to the grave. It has a time and a place in my life. As do other pop stars like Bieber, Katy Perry, Kesha, etc.

One of my good friends loves modern pop music almost exclusively. He'll buy Rihanna's new album or jam out to the one direction on the regular. Its always funny when people try to "reason" with him as to why he listens to it, as if he's wrong or something. His response is usually just a shrug with "i just like listening to it". what a crazy concept eh.
