One hit wonders
A cool study on how pop culture and music have changed in the past 50 years.
A couple interesting observations… Looking at the very bottom of the chart, you can see that in the last couple years, it’s become very common for a single to appear in the Top 50 and fall out of the Hot 100 within four weeks. Prior to the mid-1990s, this almost never happened.
Check out the study with more graphs here.

I like this new trend, specially after spending three years listening to Macarena on every single station
