Billboard just changed its chart rules — and for the first time in 35 years, there are zero rap songs in the Top 40. Tracks now get removed from the Hot 100 much faster, and one major example is Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s hit “Luther.”
Despite huge streaming numbers, it was instantly cut once the new rules kicked in. Fans are debating whether this helps fresh music rise or unfairly targets rap.
What do you think — is Billboard keeping the charts fair, or pushing hip-hop out?
