"The R&B/hip-hop genre continues to maintain its lead as the U.S.’ most popular genre of music. The genre has a 31 percent marketshare of the combined sector of album sales, TEA and SEA on-demand audio and video. The next biggest genre is rock, with 23.1 percent of that market."

Pop's decay.

omg so embarrassing

 

 

 

[River 104,767]

I honestly happy that rap/hip-hop are climbing back but not with those male rappers.. sorry..

[DelusionalGaga 29,409]

Interesting how the top 10 selling songs are mostly pop and how the top 10 streamed songs are hip hop. Truly the power of fandoms. 

[sexy 3,135]

Cardi and Camila

its not the fact that it isn't pop, it's the fact that every damn song is by a male rapper who happens to be homophobic / sexist / dumb

[Arturo 40,746]

2 soundtracks on both the Top SPS albums and Top Selling albums.
