Quote:Pop Music Sales Plummet As Top 10 Sells Around 300K Copies Total

 

Pop, pop pop music. Everyone used to want pop music. But now, not so much. With very little new product, and nothing at all from name acts. the pop sales of CDs last week was dismal. The top 10 sold a total of around 320,000 copies– and a third of those were “Frozen” soundtracks. The rest was pretty much a loss, with everything from number 20 down selling fewer than 10,000 copies each– all the way to number 50, by some act called Schoolboy Q. They sold 5,545 copies– that’s not enough to buy lunch at their school.

Well, have you listened to modern music lately? It's mostly © rap music about banging hoes and killin' cops and let's not forget how cool that they think they are.....

 

Yeah, modern music is not even music anymore. It's sewer lifestyle.

I knew I wasn't alone with this opinion!  :yes: 

Nah Rap now is about hoes, cars, and money. The real killers quit in the 90s or killed each other.

 

Drake and all them, it's garbage lol...

 

Give me some Public Enemy, NWA, etc. That's rap.

Country Music is every bit as big as Rap or Hip-hop is. Heck, Taylor Swift's "Red" sold over 5 million albums since it's October 2012 release. In fact, country is slowly becoming the new "Pop". Country music these days is nothing like the classics (Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, etc.) and is much more up-beat / pop-ish.

 

2013 Earnings

Toby Keith $65 million

Taylor Swift $55 million

Kenny Chesney $53 million

Tim McGraw $33 million

Carrie Underwood $31 million

Brad Paisley $30 million

 

The only three rappers to make over $30 Million in 2013 are Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, and Dr. Dre (Puff Daddy being the highest at $50 million). The irony is that those rappers all become famous in the 80s and 90s. On top of that, a lot of their net worth is fueled by things other than music (ie. Beats by Dre headphones).

 

Furthermore, here are all of the non-Rap singers that netted more income in 2013 than the #4 earning rapper (Nicki Minaj).

1. Madonna $125 mil

People saying things like "nowadays, its mainly either hip hop, rap, dance, or growl metal. and thats pretty much it. Anything else is seen as "uncool" or corny by the sheep in that generation" are blatantly ignorant.

Some of the listed "country" singers are fringe country at best.
