Trump v. Hillary politicizes Pop like never before and countless stars are #WithHer while the GOP’s celeb hopeful can’t even play records at his events! Streaming reverses the music industry’s 15-year free-fall from online filesharing as Tropical House and Dancehall sounds top the charts, Justin Bieber grows up, a genre-bending Rock duo from Ohio breaks through, and one-namers Adele, Drake and Rihanna all reach new heights.
The Chartcrush Top Ten Countdown Show is a one-hour deep-dive into a year in Pop music and pop culture history, viewed through the prism of the ten songs that were most popular. Chartcrush's rankings are compiled from the ground-up using Billboard's weekly charts, counting every song's full chart run and applying the exact same point ranking system for all years.
