Lots of good stuff here but I still can't quite get over how triumphant and dominant the annexation by rap and rnb has been. The 90s seem a lot more balanced. It might be interesting to see whether other ideas can now carve a space in the mainstream alongside what is prevalent here - be they country-based teen pop, some kind of alt rock return, broader range of dance music/influences, more imports (unlikely). Will the 10s see a broader or narrower still range of pop in a chart like this?

As it is the non-rap/rnb-based stuff here all seems pretty bad, which is also interesting.
