   I thought I had noticed rap not being quite so dominant on the charts the past couple of years, but this is kind of shocking: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/no-rap-songs-hot-100-top-40-first-time-since-1990-1236100625/ | |

   I wonder why Billboard is asking for subscription nowadays after years of being able to access their site free. | |

   Doesn't surprise me. Rap will return in '26.

     Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

    I log on to AllAccess each week to analyze the charts in multi-formats from Mediabase. I haven't followed the Hot 100 in several years since it's not reflective of what I need. I will though browse charts to see what people are streaming on Spotify, (https://kworb.net/spotify/country/us_daily.html), Apple Music (https://kworb.net/charts/apple_s/us.html). There is an option to check the Billboard Charts, Shazaam and Deezer too.
