Hip-hop and rap tracks began infiltrating the Billboard Top 40, and for the next 35 years, we saw dozens of these songs reach official hit status. By the end of the decade, hip-hop/rap had supplanted rock as the nation’s cultudral driver when it came to music. It seemed unstoppable. America would forever be a hip-hop nation.This month, however, a surprise. For the first time since 1990, the Billboard Top 40 was devoid of any hip-hop and rap.What happened? Does this mean it’s on the decline and on the way out? Well, no. The genres are very alive and well. Its absence has more to do with the way charts are compiled these days than the popu...

If anything, she is advised the opposite. “My team tells me to be more active on social media. They drive me crazy, telling me, ‘This song is trending, make a reel on it,’” she laughs.   The pressure doesn’t work on Singh, who views social media as a great platform to connect with her fans. That said, she is clear that documenting every moment of her day is not her style. “I’m not an influencer. I’m an actor, and I will stick to [acting]. It feels great to connect with fans through social media. You also get to know which show is worki...
