Top 40

Do you realize that the Billboard Hot 100 #1 single throughout March, Fun.'s "We Are Young", is the first #1 song by a "Rock" act since 2009.  In other words for the last 2 1/2 years the charts have been dominated by Dance and Hip Hop songs.

The charts are so splintered now that maybe nobody, outside of those that follow the Billboard charts, would notice this.  In fact, I didn't, until  saw an article about it.

This would have been big news before Top 40 went off in to different radio formats in the 80's, but if you ever tune in to a Top 40 Hits channel you would notice notice but dance songs.
