Years later. How we feel about AI thus far? Has it been underwhelming and overrated?

funny how different prompting yields different results

AI Overview



Hip-hop/rap
was the most popular genre in the Billboard Hot 100 for 2024, holding the top position in both weekly and year-end charts. While 2025 data is still emerging, recent trends indicate continued dominance by hip-hop/rap and pop, though some sources suggest hip-hop may be experiencing a decline in single-driven crossover appeal, despite strong album performance.

2024

• Hip-hop/Rap: Led the Hot 100 with 38% of all #1 songs and 38% of all Top 10 entries.
• Pop: Came in second with 29% of the Top 10 entries.
• Country: Was the third most popular genre in the Top 10, with a 25% share of #1s and a steady 15% share of Top 10 entries.

2025

• Emerging trends: Hip-hop/rap and pop continue to be major forces on the charts.
• Potential shifts: Some recent analysis suggests that while hip-hop/rap remains dominant overall, it may be becoming more album-oriented, with less crossover appeal in singles compared to previous years.
• Country's continued strength: Country music maintained its popularity, with hits like Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" continuing to perform strongly into 2025.

Because it depends what you are looking for, it even asks you to clarify. Do you mean a song? an artist overall?

Artist overall in the past 2 years combined - Taylor Swift. not all of her songs were number one but so many charted.

Song at number 1 only? If we look at the combined stretch of 2024 + 2025 for the Billboard Hot 100, here are the standout leaders:

• In 2024, Shaboozey’s track “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” had 19 weeks at No. 1 — tying the all-time record at that point. Billboard+2Billboard Canada+2
• In 2025, the song Luther by Kendrick Lamar & SZA spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1. Wikipedia+1

So combined, across those two years, Shaboozey has the highest individual haul with 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, and Kendrick Lamar/SZA lead the early 2025 leg with 13 weeks.

I actually don't know who the hell Shaboozey is.....

Because it depends what you are looking for.

You were trying to refute my comment about rap being the most popular, creative and entertaining in general and you replied with a billboard article about last week's charts. so you stink at comprehension. As far as your sucky prompting u tried to take banter word for word and plug it in AI as some form of "gotcha", when all you had to do was give it a thoughtful and simple prompt like i just did and easily proved its the most popular genre chart wise.
then it actually gave you a rap song that topped a chart in 2024 and 2025, and you took that response as rap is no currently popular because of the chart last week.so that's more stink on your comprehension skills.

I'm not going further with you based on the ridiculousness of your logic.

Technology is doing way too much. People have been sending me AI vids/profiles that they think is real. AI videos of dead folks like Tupac and Kobe were trending on TikTok…shyt real spooky outchea

While hip-hop was the dominant genre through the late 2010s and early 2020s, recent chart data shows it’s no longer the undisputed leader.

• In 2024, hip-hop/rap accounted for about 38 % of Hot 100 #1s, but that share stopped growing for the first time in over a decade.
• Pop rebounded strongly — Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tate McRae carried pop to nearly 30 % of Top 10s.
• Country made its biggest comeback in decades — Morgan Wallen and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” matched all-time chart records.

So, rap remains huge, but the “most popular” claim isn’t airtight anymore. It’s now one of three power genres, not the only one.

You said rap is the most creative and the most popular and I showed you a billboard that refutes your claim.

Creativity Isn’t Genre-Exclusive​

Hip-hop has long driven innovation — sampling, wordplay, flow patterns, production techniques — but other genres are matching or out-innovating lately:

• Pop artists have blurred genres more than ever: Billie Eilish’s minimalist horror-pop, Taylor Swift’s folk-pop storytelling, and Troye Sivan’s synth-R&B fusion.
• Country & Americana reinvented their sound with hip-hop and trap influences (Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey), proving creativity isn’t confined to rap.
• Meanwhile, rap production has seen some stagnation — many critics and fans note over-reliance on similar trap beats, AI-generated hooks, and recycled flows.
