I've come across a really interesting interactive graph, which allows you to see the proportion of genres on the Top-50 Charts between 1988-2014. The interactive graph is based off the ARIA Chart (the Australian Top-50), but I thought I would share it in case you were interested. There is also a graph showing the country of origin for artists on the ARIA chart between those years, which is quite interesting.
Here are a few interesting trends:
* Rap music experienced a massive decline in 2006. In 2005, rap music made up 11% of the Top-50 charts. Two years later, it's percentage reduced to just 1.5%.
I think the sharp decline can largely be contributed to Australia's rejection of snap music. Concurrently, rock music experienced an upsurge, going from 12.5% in 2005 to 20% in 2007!
* 1997 was the peak of Grunge/Alternative-rock.
* According to the graph, Eurodance fell out of favour in 2001. I would like to know what songs from 2000 they classify as being "Eurodance".
I would highly recommend checking out the graph. It would be interesting to read other people's opinions of them. Just as a side note, if you come across an American or British version, please feel free to share it here.

Just curious.
