I think one of the exceptions to this is music. Of course there's top 40 and whatnot, but it's one of the areas where older hits either don't go away, or get repackaged algorithmically into let's say "stuff from that decade you like that you've never heard before."
Of course it's still being selected from a much larger sample. But I think there's something different about music.
I think music gets treated differently in this way partly because the fidelity 50 years ago was already very acceptable compared to the fidelity of brand new music, meanwhile you compare any other media and there's significant improvements in the graphical fidelity that even movies from within this century can be poor enough video quality to degrade the experience compared to a new release
