WORST YEAR EVER FOR ROCK MUSIC IN UK CHARTS

Only three songs featured in the 100 biggest singles of 2010 (news article) which is the lowest ever since 1960. The three songs included were Journey's Don't Stop Believein' (thanks to Glee), Florence & The Machine's Dog Days Are Over and Train's Hey Soul Sister (random?).



The 100 biggest UK singles in 2010 were made up of 47% R'N'B, 40% Pop and 10% Dance. I think from the massive tide of female eletronic dance/pop/r'n'b artist's we have in both the UK & USA at the moment, the tide has completely turned against the Indie & Rock flood of a few years ago. I for one am starting to feel a little overdosed though . . . perhaps a change is coming? . . .
