https://bandcamp.com/ is really wonderful if you're asking about music in general and not artists hitting the billboard charts. However, as it supports free listening there isn't a barrier to searching around and discovering new things.

If you want some good coding music for the day I'd suggest starting with https://wanderband.bandcamp.com/

I love bandcamp. For 9 years now I've been getting almost all my music (I think maybe one or two albums from Amazon in-between) from them. I can get straightforward notifications, I can get whatever format I want and I can stream the whole album as much as I want before buying it (though I never listened to one fully before buying it – or deciding against it).

And not to forget that I can often choose my own price (when I was a student I sometimes paid less, nowadays I usually pay a bit more)

Yep, Bandcamp is my favorite store for music as well.
