Subject: For Marty McFly and anyone else interested, my research on 2004 music
Written By: DevoRule on 04/24/05 at 9:27 pm
Using the About.com Top 100 I researched 2004 music. Not as much nuwave as I thought but that was toward the end of the year so it's probably more '05. Here it is:
That I could discern on the list (I could classify more or less 3 out 4 of the songs on the chart, this is how it went:
Top 10s I consider important to consider.
12 boy/girl group hits (0 Top 10)
29 Mainstream Rap (4 Top 10)
6 numetal (2 top 10)
5 pop-punk (1 Top 10)
5 country( 0 Top 10)
2 neo-wave (0 Top 10)
90s holdovers: 16 (1 Top 10)
10 non-90s R&B (1 Top 10)
What 2004 music is:
35% 90s, 65% 00s
39% Rap
17% R&B
12% Boy/Girl
8% Numetal
8% Country
7% Pop-Punk
6% Other
3% Neo-wave
A bit different than I expected, but that's the whole year and charts are pop-slanted so I can understand.

When I saw my name on the title, I had to click. :) Interesting, and I mostly agree.
It's more nu-metal than I would've figured, but it's probably not bands like Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach or Kid Rock - they're more 1999-2001ish. "Nu wave" wasn't until the very end of the year (The Killers released their album in June, but I didn't start noticing it becoming popular - or alot of people getting into it until maybe November/December).
I'm not surprised about the 90's holdovers too, but in all honesty, 2004 music is likely 2003 music in part too (i.e. albums that came out in '03, but whose singles charted in '04).

This year:
42% late '90s, 58% 2000's

Anything from Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch & Vanessa Carlton.
I think all of them could've easily come out as early as 1995 and had the same success. Really, other than being more poppish, how different do they truly sound from Alanis or early Sheryl Crow?
However, their image is more up to date (Avril's pop/skater/wannabe punk look is more "modern" late teen-ish).
