For the first time in 35 years, there are ZERO rap songs in the Billboard Top 100.
How did the genre that defined an entire generation suddenly disappear from the charts?
Is this a shift in culture… or a sign that the industry is quietly moving away from hip-hop dominance?
In this episode of SNEWS, powered by Two Peas Out the Pod, Johnny and Shay break down:
🎤 When rap first entered the Hot 100 and how it took over the charts for decades
📉 What changed in 2025 that made rap vanish
🎶 Which genres are replacing it (and why country-pop & Afrobeats are winning)
💰 How labels, playlists, and algorithms are quietly steering the sound of the next era
💥 And what it means for artists, creators, and fans who built their identity around hip-hop culture
🧠 The question isn’t “Is rap dead?” — it’s “Who decided it was over?”
💬 Drop your take below: Was this the audience’s choice… or the industry’s plan?
