The Rhythmic Top 40 chart debuted in the late 90's and the format became more prevalent and featured a mix of rhythmic-driven uptempo R&B, pop, and dance tracks. Genres have peak periods of popularity and then fade until top 40 radio programmers shake things up to make the radio listening experience more palatable.
The beginning of the 2010's saw an exciting turn as musical tastes seemed to have more of a variety than ever. The 2010's are all about the crossover. A look at today's top 40 shows indie rock, triple a, electronic dance music, alt country, and alt rock all taking their place alongside the expected pop, R&B, and country. Surprisingly, if any genre has declined at top 40, it is rap.Today's pop music themes are largely about drinking, partying, and having a good time. The internet, youtube, streaming video, and social media have made a major impact on today's popular music landscape.
