Here we may get into some confusion, because there's different types of
compression used in music processing.  Dynamic range compression has been used
for decades to make radio statiosns sound "louder", and improve the listening
experiences on vinyl and tape.  Some modern songs seem to use a ridiculous
amount of this kind of compression, whether that's for effect or some other
reason.

But I was referring to the lossy data compression used to compress audio - MP3,
AAC, etc.  And I've done my own tests using source material like CDs, which I
doubt have had lossy data compression used on their audio tracks up to that
point.
