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:

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.
