The charts do - somewhat - reflect the state of the nation, but what they reflect is the state of the nation's musical preferences. There's not always a strong correspondence between the musical preferences and the nation's TV-news-watching preferences. (I assume that the TV news is the closest most people ever got to the "riots that were sweeping the nation.") (Btw, pop stars in rehab is sweeping the nation right now, if you're in the U.S.)
