It's just plain confusing, you have the classic rock genre in the 60s. You have so many rock genres but absolutely zero indication on what's what. By far my least favorite video, thumbs down 👎
@@Billinois78 What? He is using TH-cam Library copyright-free music. What does that have to do with what music he listens to? And let's be fair, all country and hip hop sounds the same.
I think they did this for 2 reasons: 1: To make the list more dynamic, otherwise rock would have sat at the top of the list for most of the video, which would have been a boring watching experience, people would have clicked off, less money for the channel (Most likely reason) 2: Possibly to better reflect the tastes of each era (Merging Rap and Hip-hop made them show up on this list earlier, which reflects a change in taste starting in the mid/late 90's) An argument could be made for favouritism, but I think it probably just comes down to viewer watch time to please the algorithm.
My thoughts exactly. I'd like to see him disaggregate Western from Country. I'm curious to see how those two genres have rivaled one another for the last 100 years.
I think these graphs of what sells, doesn't reflect the styles of what the radio plays. Country stations now sound more like pop/rap with a country vocalist.
electronic music got split into a lot of sub-divisions. I feel like hip hop/rap has a ton of subdivisions as well. Would be interesting to see electronic as one genre instead of split up. Just call it EDM. On the final screen 5:43, if you add electro, techno, house together it becomes #1 as a genre.
@@purpleaki06 Agreed. I've been listening to electronic music for decades and hate the term EDM. Also not sure what they are the classifying house and techno as. I love house and techno but don't think it's ever been popular enough to be that high on the list. I'm guessing techno pop was like Depeche Mode and other eighties bands with lots of synths and drum machines.
@@purpleaki06 No, what you and many call EDM is festival house, peak-time techno, future bass, etc. But originally EDM is the broader genre regrouping about half of electronic music. Also these 2 categories you're suggesting don't work
The statistic's focus is not about popularity but about making money on some market. What market, is the question to ask. What country or continent? Based on which numbers exactly?
My thoughts exactly. Did you notice that there was no pop mentioned in the 80s either, when it was literally the most popular genre (Michael Jackson, Madonna). A lot of other genres are missing or messed up as well. Whoever created this video has no idea about music genres.
Pop music is under the Pop Rock and Electropop categories, since stars like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift often blend rock, pop, and electronic styles.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial Crazy to see that Pop isn't that popular anymore although it is called Pop hehe. I remember the boygroup era with Backstreet Boys, N Sync and so on and it was everywhere haha
@DataIsBeautifulOfficial I'm sorry but I call BS. There's no way that Pop Rock or Electropop are both nowhere to be seen in the 2024 chart when artists like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and especially Sabrina Carpenter dominated this year.
Nirvana is not alternative rock, but grunge, which is a separate genre. Both alternative rock and grunge were the most popular genres in the first half of the 90s.
I'm a little shocked the electro pop era of 2007-2014, the tropical pop/house era of 2014-2017 and the disco/synthpop revival era of 2020-2024 didn't show up in this video! Like for instance, Flowers, blinding lights, stay, levitating, save your tears, espresso etc are all some of the biggest songs of post pandemic era music, ALL would fit roughly into the same categories as Disco/synthpop. Interesting it didn't show up. Regardless great video!!
I'm thinking these graphs are worldwide? Neither Eurodance or Techno were big on the radio in the USA, ever. But they had high rankings for a while in the animation.
I remember in 1983, taking my first level French class in junior high, and a couple of times in the early chapters of our textbook (probably printed in the late 1970s) it mentioned Disco as a music genre. Other students giggled at these references, it already seemed so dated at the time. But I suppose there were still background sales... adults buying follow-up albums from Disco artists that were not charting on the radio anymore.
Interesting: The Jazz boom was much later than many believe (as often depicted in contemporary film) and the disco spike was much sooner. Country & Western is a mainstay.
I think he would have loved hip hop and rap, don't forget Shakespeare used the language of the time, the everyday and referred to crime, lust and revenge, as rap and hip hop do. It can be very literate and clever, just listen to later Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, Queen Latifah, etc, not the garbage hip hop today.
Note that this is best SELLING music. Blues music was there all along, being the heavy influence on most of what is popular today, but you wouldn't know it by this analysis. The people who were making that music were too poor to buy the albums , so they could only go hear them perform at small clubs.
Yeah, while watching this, I was puzzled at how Disco remained in the rankings into 1984, 85. People might have continued buying it, but it was completely gone from the airwaves by then.

@@8dreadLock8 For me it was the UKF days, I stopped folloing the scene around 2014, then came back to it in the 2020s. The genre is in an interesting place right now.

This video is well made and shows excellent stats. Few other genres is missing from list like Adult Contemporary, Dance-pop and Blues music. Should pop rock under dark blue colour instead of yellow as it is subgenre of rock music?
Thanks for the feedback! Pop rock definitely has strong roots in rock, but it stands out enough to keep it with more similar pop categories. It's actually closer to genres like Disco, New Wave, Techno-pop, Europop, and Indie Pop because of its melodic focus, catchy hooks, and emphasis on mainstream appeal, rather than the raw energy and instrumentation typical of rock. Plus, various offline music charts usually combine it with pop genres as well.
it actually started climbing faster in 97 when The Slim Shady EP dropped I was waiting to see if Hip hop would start climbing faster when it hit that year and it did
@@Ironmanpwnz Yup true, artists such as Tupac, Biggie (early-mid 90s) and then Eminem, Jay-Z, Nelly, 50 Cent, Kanye West around the late 90s and early 2000s really did help push hip hop in popularity.
The resurgence of Ragtime in the 1930s-40s surprised me. Maybe there were people in their middle age around then, buying up collections of it based on their memories of the 1900's, meanwhile total ablum sales had not yet exploded, since kids were not buying music in bulk until the 1950s. (Or perhaps the editor lumped in a lot of piano jazz into the Ragtime bucket.)
@@planeetgeklungel5884 thats a plus ... house and techno take as little tallent as hip hop ...i like hip hop but it just doesnt seasure up to 4 guys singing and playing instruments
Watching that jazz take off! “Come on babe why don’t we paint the town And all that jazz I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down And all that jazz”
@@EtienneLaphaoh no... It's almost like in every aspect 99% struggle and 1% succeed. Shocking that not everyone can be inventing something new, get lucky in connection and time and start with good circumstances.
Before the 1980s (or even until 2000), it seems necessary to explain what the basis for the sample collection was, and whether it was based on a region rather than representing the entire world (e.g., Country).
Too bad many American contemporary radio stations today don't play much techno and alternative rock music, instead playing just plain old pop, country, and hip hop/rap music.
I've been down with rap music from Day 1 in 1978. In the 80's, people actually wanted to FIGHT me for playing it on my boombox because they could hear it. MTV and The Grammy Awards didn't even recognize it as a genre until 1995 but they wouldn't let the Grammy Awards be given on the live TV version of the show. They gave The Rap Grammies before they went on air. THEN, in the early 2000's, white people started listening to rap and hip hop .... NOW it's the overwhelming preferred music for EVERYTHING - except the crap rappin' they do today is horrible; it's all digital and the "stars" aren't even rappers. They're just puppets created in Hollywood. Ask any of them to flow live off the top of their head. FAIL! Anyway, enjoy this history lesson, kids. I was there from Day 1. Word.
I love the classic rap and hip hop, today's is anodyne, over produced and moronic, and no fun. You can't beat Grandmaster Flash, Monie Love, Queen Latifah, Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Tribe, Cookie Crew, Betty Boo, Missy Elliot, etc. I didn't come to it until the 90s but I've loved it ever since, except the crud from today.
It would be less so if the country genre was broken up into different styles or eras. Shania Twain doesn't sound quite like modern country and neither of them sound anything like Johnny Cash or Woody Guthrie. It just shows the label didn't change when the music did.
Love the Gold Stars for top genres; if I could suggest, would there be a way to have the stars change from silver outlines to gold stars when they reach position one in future videos? Just an idea
@@chrisnewell1065 Jay is tied with Drake for 3rd All Time in Total Albums Sold. Jay did his numbers too don't get it twisted. "Only niggaz moving units is Em, PimpJuice (Nelly) and Us". -Jay 2002.
Most genres were pulverized in dozens of artists. But individually, the 60s were owened by the Beatles; the 70s by Zeppelin/ Eagles/ P Floyd; the 80s by Queen/ U2/M Jacson; the 90s by Nirvana and some other
After thinking about this for a while, "Adult Contemporary" was a pretty big format in the 1970s-80s. That was perhaps a bar that belonged in the graph somewhere. I wasn't listening to those stations (music such as The Carpenters or Eddie Rabbitt) but I think every major city had an Adult Contemporary format on the dial somewhere.
@@FRN2013 I realize, but plenty of these genres were seemingly merged into one & some seemingly were arbitrarily cut. Metal also seems to have been subsumed into hard rock, so I’m just basing my guess off the most similar genres.
pop music was divided up into several smaller genres for this video. Brittney for example was probably divided up under "Electro" "pop rock" and genres like that.
'Rap/HipHop' no. #1 for 24 YEARS!? ...WHY!? By COMPARISON to all other music types- it's NOT natural! ESPECIALLY because of HOW INCREDIBLY negative it gets!
I need to understand more about what punk entails because I can’t remember the last time I saw a significant punk band unless old records like Ramones and all that are still keeping it afloat, but even then that’s still hard to believe unless metal and other genres are lumped in with it.
This better than the first iteration when all dance including Eurodance, I believe, was pretty much thrown under House music umbrella, which caused a lot of discussion in the comments. And people commenting they never heard of house music like they have never been to a dance club or any house music festival world wide the Ultra Music festival in Miami or Tomorrowland, or listened to Guetta, Van Burin, Harris, Alesso, Van Dyk or Tiesto or the very early pioneers like Mr. Fingers, Adonis, Frankie Knuckles and Robert Owens. However I had to look up techno pop not because of the genre because I equated it to techno of the rave era of the 90s. I didn't think of Kraftwerk, Bowie, Devo, Depeche Mode and Pet shop boys..To me most of these were New Wave. I guess I learned somethng new here as well.
How does “Classic rock” sell in 1970 when it’s literally not classic yet at that point. And 90s, I see grunge doesn’t even happen apparently according to this. How accurate.
@hannanathan564 Possibly, but I tried to use commonly accepted music classification from different research studies. Personally, I'm not a music expert.
@ hey that’s fine. I appreciate that transparency at least. It is beautiful to see. As a student of music and its history, I find some of these classifications are misleading when it comes to cultural impact/perception and how they more accurately subcategorize. However, there would be no single correct way to do this so with that in mind, great job!
I will add, the one rule I’d use on “Classic rock” terminology is that during its time, it was not a genre (technically still isn’t), it was simply rock music. Rock from the 60s wasn’t classic till the 80s. Rock from the 70s wasnt classic til the 90s. 80s rock was never considered classic when I was kid, suddenly people call it classic rock too now. Hell even 90s stuff is called classic now. That 20 years waiting period is important though, it’s not like an objective rule, but it gives some separation for context of cultural perceptions.
Fascinating chart, but a little off for Techno pop and House, according to your categories, Daft Punk and Kraftwerk are House and Techno, but they aren't, they are Electronic, a category you didn't have, although both bands do incorporate elements of techno, pop and house in their music, they aren't primarily known for those categories. I actually love the music you use, it sort of makes you feel sad for going into the future, can't explain the feeling, but it itches a musical and emotional scratch. Perhaps TH-cam library music could have a category in a future video. I actually really like some YT library music! It's amazing how we've gone from Opera to Hip Hop, as the most popular music, I guess both tell a story. Not a fan of opera at all, at any stage, and hip hop/rap used to be good in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Wonder what will be the most popular in 2124? Alien Beep telepathy music perhaps 😂
I hope hip-hop fades away eventually, cause it feels like the death of music ever since it become the mainstream everything felt so superficial and fake.
Interesting. In a larger historical context, the 20s - late 40s, Jazz was the dominant genre giving way to the rock era until the turn of the millennium. Then rap and RnB took over. But Country has always been there. That probably has to do with its strong regional and cultural roots and an establishment that has been around for over a hundred years, the Grand Ole Opry. Nowadays, it seems though we are in a post genre world where no one genre stands to dominate the music scene the way that jazz or rock did. I think that has to do with the way music is presented now. There are no "gatekeepers" like terrestrial radio networks or other major outlets like MTV. Streaming is where music is sold now and that has led to the splintering of music genres in the last 10-15 years. I don't think we will ever see something like Elvis or the Beatles define a music era again.
It’s crazy how so many genres of music that seem so fundamental to us now didn’t even exist before the 70s or 80s, I wonder what new genres of music will emerge in the next decades that will reshape the industry🤷🏼♂️

You know that like 99% of rappers are struggling, right? How much do you think spotify pays artists?
@@EtienneLaphaShut up bro, you're just talking nonsense.
@@EtienneLaphaBrother, do you know what you're talking about?
@@EtienneLaphaoh no... It's almost like in every aspect 99% struggle and 1% succeed.
Shocking that not everyone can be inventing something new, get lucky in connection and time and start with good circumstances.
@@SinclairWest I mean I don't disagree
Before the 1980s (or even until 2000), it seems necessary to explain what the basis for the sample collection was, and whether it was based on a region rather than representing the entire world (e.g., Country).
The data focuses on U.S. market sales, which dominated global trends before the 2000s, so genres like Country are reflected accordingly.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial Thanks for the information!
Too bad many American contemporary radio stations today don't play much techno and alternative rock music, instead playing just plain old pop, country, and hip hop/rap music.
Need to bring dubstep back up higher…. k pop, indie rock, and reggaeton over that is wild ☠️
Nice to see you
Country is really the sleeping gigant.
Yup, we are f-up since 2000.
Im from Spain and I wish this was true here, too.We have the God damn Regaetton everywhere!!😢
I've been down with rap music from Day 1 in 1978. In the 80's, people actually wanted to FIGHT me for playing it on my boombox because they could hear it. MTV and The Grammy Awards didn't even recognize it as a genre until 1995 but they wouldn't let the Grammy Awards be given on the live TV version of the show. They gave The Rap Grammies before they went on air. THEN, in the early 2000's, white people started listening to rap and hip hop .... NOW it's the overwhelming preferred music for EVERYTHING - except the crap rappin' they do today is horrible; it's all digital and the "stars" aren't even rappers. They're just puppets created in Hollywood. Ask any of them to flow live off the top of their head. FAIL! Anyway, enjoy this history lesson, kids. I was there from Day 1. Word.
I love the classic rap and hip hop, today's is anodyne, over produced and moronic, and no fun. You can't beat Grandmaster Flash, Monie Love, Queen Latifah, Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Tribe, Cookie Crew, Betty Boo, Missy Elliot, etc. I didn't come to it until the 90s but I've loved it ever since, except the crud from today.
@JasmineSurrealVideos Word!
Marches hung around until 1939. Impressive
Вывод: Country - музыка на все времена)
Эта музыка вообще никогда не была популярна за пределами США. А вообще, создатель видео понятия не имеет о музыкальных жанрах.
My respect to Country music!!!
hip hop/rap greatest genre 🐐
How could punk be that high in the 10s?
I don’t think classic rock was a radio category until 1980
It's amazing how Country's sucess is timeless.
It would be less so if the country genre was broken up into different styles or eras. Shania Twain doesn't sound quite like modern country and neither of them sound anything like Johnny Cash or Woody Guthrie. It just shows the label didn't change when the music did.
Techno demand is actually much higher because we know how to bootleg it, so it won't show on sales.
In other words how musical tastes went down the toilet in just over 100 years.
Yep.
Jerry Garcia, a very talented and accomplished musician, stated that rap isn’t music. He’s kinda right about the majority of it.
No it hasn't unc
@@JakeHubbed Yes, it has.
Love the Gold Stars for top genres; if I could suggest, would there be a way to have the stars change from silver outlines to gold stars when they reach position one in future videos? Just an idea
Noted
So metal has never actually made it to "mainstream" or was it categorized as Hard or Alternative Rock?
Do one video game sales based on genre.
It would be good to see a chart like this for the UK, as we’re not so big on the rap/hip hop over here.
I remember when people said Rap was a fad and it wouldn't last
Man this is amazing. What tools do you use to present data like this?
Eminem and 50 took rap to no 1 in 2002,
Weezy And nicki continued,
And now kendrick and drake still keeps it at no 1.
Don’t forget Jay-Z, he’s been shaping rap’s #1 status through all these eras.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficialhe may have had number one's but nothing in sales in comparison to Ems albums and 50s first 2 albums.
@@chrisnewell1065 Jay is tied with Drake for 3rd All Time in Total Albums Sold. Jay did his numbers too don't get it twisted. "Only niggaz moving units is Em, PimpJuice (Nelly) and Us". -Jay 2002.
Country music has had many revivals lol
Given that this is world-wide popularity, I’m a little surprised that “Country” would be “a thing,” and a big thing early on.
Most genres were pulverized in dozens of artists. But individually, the 60s were owened by the Beatles; the 70s by Zeppelin/ Eagles/ P Floyd; the 80s by Queen/ U2/M Jacson; the 90s by Nirvana and some other
After thinking about this for a while, "Adult Contemporary" was a pretty big format in the 1970s-80s. That was perhaps a bar that belonged in the graph somewhere. I wasn't listening to those stations (music such as The Carpenters or Eddie Rabbitt) but I think every major city had an Adult Contemporary format on the dial somewhere.
I lost $100 on Polka. Damn it!

Once I discovered recently I remember almost nothing from 2010 decade. Here I can see why.
The 2010s will become a memory hole for music. Very derivative, heavy Autotune everywhere.
@Avo7bProject Indeed
Rap/r&b (same thing basically) are a plague
We are screwed if hip-hop and rap are the most popular things nowadays. And it's not even the good stuff of the genre.
Exactly. Time for new stuff
"Classic Rock" in 1961?
Where is Grunge?
@@FRN2013grunge is probably in punk, alternative, or mixed between the two depending on the band
@@dolorsitametconsectur no, grunge sounds quite different than punk (which has a faster beat) or alternative (which is lighter).
@@FRN2013 I realize, but plenty of these genres were seemingly merged into one & some seemingly were arbitrarily cut. Metal also seems to have been subsumed into hard rock, so I’m just basing my guess off the most similar genres.
@@dolorsitametconsectur Yes, blending, merging, and subsuming have happened.
What are the golden/silver stars about?
i thought pop music would be #2 around 1997-2002 with the popularity of britney spears, christina aguilera and all the boybands/girl groups
pop music was divided up into several smaller genres for this video.
Brittney for example was probably divided up under "Electro" "pop rock" and genres like that.
Art is beyond commerce!
Marches are due their comeback!
They're more likely to pop up in film scores than mainstream charts.
where does techno get such numbers? usually i meet musicians who have 5 listeners a month
because its big in asian community
I didn’t realize how popular K pop is tell now. 😮
It isn't
Was surprised the swing resurgence of the late '90s didn't make an appearance.
Swing's late 90s resurgence, while notable, never reached the top in sales like other genres, so it didn't make the cut.
Hip hop and R&B is neck and neck
This shall be interesting
While we're on the topic, please don't ever change the background music on these videos!!!
'Rap/HipHop' no. #1 for 24 YEARS!? ...WHY!? By COMPARISON to all other music types- it's NOT natural! ESPECIALLY because of HOW INCREDIBLY negative it gets!
It's by far the best music genre in history.
Jazz, step aside, Country, step aside, R&B, step aside, Soul, step aside, Pop Rock, step aside, Disco, step aside, Techno, step aside, Eurodance, step aside, Country, I am back, Hip Hop, step aside, breath......
I need to understand more about what punk entails because I can’t remember the last time I saw a significant punk band unless old records like Ramones and all that are still keeping it afloat, but even then that’s still hard to believe unless metal and other genres are lumped in with it.
Probably counting Pop Punk and all of punks subgenres with it
Offers us 1910. Gives us 1909 just as a bonus!
This better than the first iteration when all dance including Eurodance, I believe, was pretty much thrown under House music umbrella, which caused a lot of discussion in the comments. And people commenting they never heard of house music like they have never been to a dance club or any house music festival world wide the Ultra Music festival in Miami or Tomorrowland, or listened to Guetta, Van Burin, Harris, Alesso, Van Dyk or Tiesto or the very early pioneers like Mr. Fingers, Adonis, Frankie Knuckles and Robert Owens. However I had to look up techno pop not because of the genre because I equated it to techno of the rave era of the 90s. I didn't think of Kraftwerk, Bowie, Devo, Depeche Mode and Pet shop boys..To me most of these were New Wave. I guess I learned somethng new here as well.
Didn't expect the Hip-hop or Rap to be the highest selling. I though Pop will be because it's universally for all tastes of music.
Hip-hop dominates because of streaming - its numbers are massive compared to other genres right now. Pop still holds strong globally, though.

How does “Classic rock” sell in 1970 when it’s literally not classic yet at that point.
And 90s, I see grunge doesn’t even happen apparently according to this. How accurate.
Classic rock was a label applied later. As for grunge, it was massive in the 90s, but data can get messy with shifting genres.
@ my point is it’s kind of a misrepresentation culturally.
@hannanathan564 Possibly, but I tried to use commonly accepted music classification from different research studies. Personally, I'm not a music expert.
@ hey that’s fine. I appreciate that transparency at least. It is beautiful to see. As a student of music and its history, I find some of these classifications are misleading when it comes to cultural impact/perception and how they more accurately subcategorize. However, there would be no single correct way to do this so with that in mind, great job!
I will add, the one rule I’d use on “Classic rock” terminology is that during its time, it was not a genre (technically still isn’t), it was simply rock music. Rock from the 60s wasn’t classic till the 80s. Rock from the 70s wasnt classic til the 90s. 80s rock was never considered classic when I was kid, suddenly people call it classic rock too now. Hell even 90s stuff is called classic now. That 20 years waiting period is important though, it’s not like an objective rule, but it gives some separation for context of cultural perceptions.
Fascinating chart, but a little off for Techno pop and House, according to your categories, Daft Punk and Kraftwerk are House and Techno, but they aren't, they are Electronic, a category you didn't have, although both bands do incorporate elements of techno, pop and house in their music, they aren't primarily known for those categories.
I actually love the music you use, it sort of makes you feel sad for going into the future, can't explain the feeling, but it itches a musical and emotional scratch. Perhaps TH-cam library music could have a category in a future video. I actually really like some YT library music!
It's amazing how we've gone from Opera to Hip Hop, as the most popular music, I guess both tell a story. Not a fan of opera at all, at any stage, and hip hop/rap used to be good in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Wonder what will be the most popular in 2124? Alien Beep telepathy music perhaps 😂
Operas were basically musicals, so it's interesting that we've kind of gone full circle and started making essentially hip-hop/rap operas.

Crazy how punk, which is one of the most anti-authority and anti-mainstream music genres was the second most popular one at some point
Did jungle not make the top list at any point?😭
Lol
Yea what about Jungle and DnB
Interesting. In a larger historical context, the 20s - late 40s, Jazz was the dominant genre giving way to the rock era until the turn of the millennium. Then rap and RnB took over. But Country has always been there. That probably has to do with its strong regional and cultural roots and an establishment that has been around for over a hundred years, the Grand Ole Opry.
Nowadays, it seems though we are in a post genre world where no one genre stands to dominate the music scene the way that jazz or rock did. I think that has to do with the way music is presented now. There are no "gatekeepers" like terrestrial radio networks or other major outlets like MTV. Streaming is where music is sold now and that has led to the splintering of music genres in the last 10-15 years. I don't think we will ever see something like Elvis or the Beatles define a music era again.
Now I wanna see worst selling music

The numbers of Punk and Hard Rock (Heavy Metal?) are the strangest to me. I would never think Punk made that much more revenue than Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.
