why does ch3 bonded to carbonyl bonded to another ch3 why is there not two singlets??

it's symmetrical and the methyl hydrogens on either side are electrically equivalent, meaning they have exactly the same nmr shift, so they all show up as a one 6H singlet
 
so why if i have ch3 then benzene then ch3 do i have two singlets, it should be the same like u said before
 
there are 4 identical protons on the benzene ring that would make a different singlet than the methyl protons.
