The highest ranked country song is number 28 it has been out for over a year... and it has scratching... DJ scratching on it... they actually scratch on it before he starts singing... and its considered his 'lightest' single yet...
now... i aint mad at it... just saying if you got one song in the top 40s, features straight dj scratches, first line of lyrics are 'you're on your couch blowing up my phone','take the boom box out' has a a nearly 1 minute segment with a drum break and him singing over dj scratches, the video features prominently a black dude playing funk guitar rhythm sections... and is facing negative light in the country music genre for being purposefully designed to cross over... well then goes to show there is a specific sound to pop... cause that is a pop record not a country record
