This is interesting. Very Small Array has posted visual representations of Billboard’s Top 100 hits in 2008 which makes it very easy to digest information (especially when the information is in list form like it is on Billboard’s website). Anyway, it’s amazing how much pop music was pushed through the radio last year while almost every other genre took the back seat.
And judging by what’s playing now on the radio, it looks like 2009 is shaping up to be very similar. If you’re curious, VSA also put together graphs and charts for Pitchfork Media’s top 100 tracks of 2008. But honestly, it’s Pitchfork, so how accurate can this be except in representing the indie music out on the market?
