Hip-Hop made some not so good history today in terms of it’s popularity in the mainstream. Chatter about the decline of hip-hop’s commercial success in 2025 continues, and now, there’s some new data that proves just how bad things have gotten. Reportedly, zero rap songs landed in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 last week. The last time this happened was in February of 1990. Per Billboard, the highest ranking rap song currently is NBA YoungBoy’s track, “Shot Callin” at No. 44.
