Report: Hip-Hop/R&B Is The Dominant Genre In The U.S. For The First Time

960x0.jpg?fit=scale

While it is no longer surprising to state that streaming, in general, is altering the music business, certain kinds of music now have power like never before because of this new model. 

[...]

For the first time since Nielsen started measuring music consumption in the United States, rock is no longer the top genre in terms of overall consumption. Instead, the combined genre of R&B and hip-hop has taken the crown, and while the two styles are fairly close to one another when it comes to percentages, the latter has pulled ahead, and it seems like it will continue to distance itself from the competition in the coming months and years.

Say hello to Trap 2 Trap in 2019 y'all :poot:

I'm like hey, wassup, hello
Seen yo pretty ass soon as you came in the door
I just wanna chill, got a sack for us to roll
Married to the money, introduced her to my stove
Showed her how to whip it now she remix it for low
She my trap queen let her hit the bando
Ladies and gentleman, Brian Newman!

Ever since I was little, I always assumed rap, hip-hop, & R&B were the most dominant genres in music. If there was ever someone at school playing music out loud, it was always hip-hop/R&B. Every time someone's music was loud enough for ANYONE else to hear, it has always been Hip-Hop/R&B. 

My name is yours! What's Probglum?

If you grew up in the early to mid 2000s then this was the case :trollga: The late 2000's and early 2010's were dominated by four on the floor EDM/fist-pumping party music, but we've gone back to a more chill Hip Hop/R&B sound

Lana stays on top of the game :classy: 

She predicted this with Born to Die tbh :sis: 

 

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

I'm happy that the EDM domination is over, but I'd ready for an electronic revival down the road. Kendrick Lamar's new album is definitely AOTY for the Grammy's this year, and I'm so ready for it.

I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟‍♀️👰🏻
