General Billboard hits are called "Billboard Top 200," "Top 100," and "Top 40"...of course there were HipHop "hits" that charted within those intervals

I'm well aware, but there has been no staying hit a song that charted long term outside of its album drop all year outside of nokia

The craziest thing is from the few "top" country songs I've heard they use trap style drums, rolling hi hats, 808's, etc..

So even when they do their "own" shyt they still end up copying us

Country is smashing all other genres in live consumtion (ticket sales to concerts and such) outside of EDM and HipHop (HIpHop has the crown there too!)

you know people on this forum like anecdotes over data

Kendrick most likely had multiple songs bigger than that

Outside off morgan wallen even a nikka like gunna is selling more than any country artists this year.

Morgan Wallen is carrying that genre. Folks are seeing his numbers and thinking the whole genre is killing it when that ain’t the truth
