The lack of rap songs in the Hot 100’s top 40 is the latest sign of a recent dip in rap’s commercial dominance. Hip-hop’s overall market share reached a peak in 2020, when it neared 30%. That had slipped to just over 25% in 2023, and has been at 24% so far in 2025, through the week of Oct. 23. In the Hot 100 chart for the equivalent chart week five years ago (dated Oct. 24, 2020), a whopping 16 of the top 40 were rap songs, while in the equivalent chart two years ago (Oct. 28, 2023) there were eight rap songs in the top 40.

1 Year ago, while we were all celebrating the success of DWAS, Gaga released Disease, a return to dark pop and the official start of LG7. She showed the world that she can TFM/BTW energy to the next level and create fresh, high quality music in 2024, when the Pop landscape was mainly dominated by cute TikTok friendly pop songs (or even just no pop at all) The Music Video has (only) 47M views, while the Antidote Live and The Poison Live sit at 4M and 2.4M respectively. On Spotify the song has almost 284M streams.

Ok - this site has a small lull so let’s get a bit cray…. Hear me out: - She confirmed Frankenstein’s existence in the Mayhem LM press conference and said she pulled it out for inspo and then threw it out again… - And then at end of the mayhem ball, we have surgery, she basically is THAT character. So…. Remain in archives? / or re-work at some point/ who knows when !? Pour the loopy tea ☕️ 💀🖤
