Each year, an industry-standard US report is issued revealing key facts and figures about the local and global music markets.
In recent years, that report has been compiled and issued by Luminate. In prior years, it was compiled and issued by, at various points, MRC and Nielsen Music (both predecessors to Luminate).
Within these reports are statistics regarding the ‘market share’ of each music genre across various formats.
Below is a chart showing what this US ‘market share’ genre split has been on an annual basis for one format in particular: On-demand audio streams.
Beneath this, you can find a chart focusing on just one genre within these parameters, defined by Luminate and MRC etc. as ‘R&B/hip-hop’.
