charts discussion BB: Hip-hop went up 2x, while Pop tumbled and dropped

[QueenofCopyPaste]

 

Green: Pop

Red: Hip Hop

 

Hip-hop got hotter -- by twice as much: Hip-hop, as a primary genre on songs, accounted for 71 percent of all Hot 100 top 10s on charts dated July 7 through Sept. 29. That's more than double, up from 35 percent, its share in the third quarter of 2017.

Hip-hop's Q3 share of 71 percent is also up from the first half of 2018, when the genre contributed to 55 percent of all top 10s (on charts dated Jan. 3 through June 30).

 

Pop dropped: Meanwhile, pop continued to tumble in Q3 2018, accounting for 14 percent of all top 10s as a primary genre. That's down from 26 percent in the same stretch in 2017.

Pop's 14 percent claim in July through September is also down from 25 percent in the first half of 2018.

 

Hip-hop and pop have essentially switched places in three years: Year to date, hip-hop, as a primary genre, accounts for 63 percent of all Hot 100 top 10s, the highest amount for any genre since Hit Songs Deconstructed began tracking data in 2013. The figure bests pop's 49 percent take in 2015.

 

Thus, illustrating just how far the two genres have diverged, in 2015, pop was at 49 percent of all Hot 100 top 10s and hip-hop, 13 percent; three years later, hip-hop claims 63 percent and pop, 21 percent.

 

Hip-hop influenced 93 percent of all top 10s: As an influence shaping the sound of songs (but not a primary genre), hip-hop played into a whopping 93 percent of all Hot 100 top 10s between July and September. The total is up from a still-impressive 78 percent during the same stretch in 2017.

 

The 93 percent cut is also up slightly from 89 percent in January through June.

("An influence is a vocal or instrumental characteristic associated with a particular genre, time period or geographic location that helps shape the sound and vibe of a song," Hit Songs Deconstructed co-founder Dave Penn says. "For example, rapped vocals could be used to impart a hip-hop vibe in a song outside the hip-hop genre.")

Hello streaming. 

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

I’ll say the reason but don’t want a WP

[Joey Coco]

We live in an era of Hip-Hop. Beautiful times.

[ChrispyBelievix]

It's always waves and it'll change.

As a contemporary music lover I'm enjoying observing and bopping.

Y’all lost!

[StephenNYMonster]

Well Pop acts are too busy bringing that earthy crap onto airwaves, of course they are going to trend down. It's boring and has no replay value.

[Enoch]

streaming really showed what people really like

[Gaia]

Katy Perry’s influence. When she falls so does pop music. We need a comeback queen (maybe with good music this time!) 

[ChrisTheLoner]

Trash won

[Speezy]

Pop artists are too busy jumping on the same producers and following trends. While the more innovate genre, hiphop is still evolving, and doesnt need Pop-acts to sell a song like Popacts needs them

[Danes]

LG6 is coming to change that.

[Wondy Lust]

that's so TABS

Nah, HipHop has always been at the forefront. Now fans aren’t illegally downloading the albums. That’s why this is all confusing to ATRL.

No, this is just a 2000s fad that's back and will be gone in the next 4 years 

 

Until some couple years much later than
