The only prediction I have is that they will come up with a way to make illegal downloading either impossible or, more likely, such an incredible pain in the ass that people will begrudgingly begin to pay for things again, or just go without the latest flavor of the month and sales will stabilize at a low number. I think this will also go hand in hand with a change in the way we buy music, whether it's more EPs than albums or whatever. Don't bet on it. If it can be digitized, someone will find a way to pick the locks and either distribute it over the Web or by E-mail. They always do.

I also think that by the end of the decade there will be a new Billboard component chart based on new technology, a la Hot Digital Songs. I could see this being based off Last.fm or something similar.

I dont ever see Hip-Hop/R&B dying out completely, but it will definitely lose it's place in the mainstream, it may possibly pick up again around the late 2010's.
Along with the earthy trend that will be coming in the mid 2010's, I see traditional R&B starting to chart on Pop again like it did in the late 90s, early 2000s.
Somewhere between 2011 and 2014, bubblegum teen pop will rise, and become dominant for a year, but it will be very short-lived.
Artists careers will be very short-lived this decade if this trend continues. Artists will come in, be two-hit wonders, and then have HORRIBLE second era's, and will never be heard from again.
Beyonce will definitely rest this decade, and may possibly disappear from radio around 2012, similar to Carey's disappearance in the early 2000s. However, I see Beyonce coming back strong in the late 2010s.
Around the end of 2011, beginning of 2012, their will be a very successful group, male or female (most likely male), that will be dominating the pop charts, riding the rhythmic electro pop trend (similar to Jay Sean, Jason Derulo music). Could possibly be JLS.
By the beginning of 2017, there will be no POP sound, and pop will be consisted of a bunch of hits that crossed over from other geners, similar to how the Pop chart was, around 2002/2003.

-Similar to Britney (and to a lesser extent, Mariah) in the 00s, a major artist from the previous decade/start of this decade will see a major "fall from grace" sometime around the middle of the decade. Then, they'll clean themselves up and have a big comeback towards the end of the decade. ( It would be nice if the whole breakdown wouldn't happen this decade though. But it seems to happen pretty much every decade.) I can see Gaga having a breakdown if she doesn't take some time to rest. She's already been hospitalized twice for exhaustion/dehydration during the Monster Ball tour. Home girl needs to relax.

GaGa's going to slowly, but surely infect all of us and turn us into monsters and will then run for presidential election in 2016 and win and be the supreme leader of the US where she will later on run for ruler of the world and become GODGA!!!!

Sadly, I could see Gaga being president. I bet that there'd never be a dull moment.

I see rock making a comeback. Some ballsey new artist writes a song about death to autotune. Mass rock fans storm pop diva concerts and overthrow them. Mass demonstrations against electro pop. Artists like Allison Iraheta and bands like Sick Puppies rise to fame.
oh wait, that must have been a dream. nvm
- John Mayer and Taylor Swift trade blows with news songs about each other. - Next teen idol rises to fame - Subo rehashes another Holiday CD and sells well. - Gaga is status quo - Kesha disappears - Avril becomes irrelevant(if not already) - idols in general are banned from radio besides the current hitmakers - Nickelback will remain the token rock band

-By 2015 Justin Bieber will come out of the closet. Possibly having a DUI, or some sort of underage drinking charge. He will enter rehab and after leaving Rehab will tell the world he's gay.
-By 2017 Lady Gaga will be in the hospital to some sort of overdose. Not sure if it will be fatal but it isn't she will become one of those born again people.
-Sometime in this decade SPICE WORLD 2 will be the biggest thing to happen in music.
I'll think of more later.

Some general predictions for music over the next decade⦠- Continuing the trend of the last half of the noughties, different countries' music scenes will become even more homogenized. Even more foreign artists will find chart success in the US, and there will be less and less difference between countries' charts.
- At one point in the decade the Top 10 of the Hot 100 will be made up entirely of non-American artists.
- By 2013 there will be a backlash against the dance influences that have been gaining momentum in the US and finding their way more into more pop, R&B and hip-hop elsewhere.
- Heading towards the middle of the decade there will be a genuine Alternative music movement crossing over and dominating the US mainstream in a way not seen since the heyday of Grunge.
- By the end of the decade Hip-Hop will dominate the charts again in the manner it did in the early noughties.
- By the end of the decade Asian music will dominate the charts. This will continue well into the 2020s.
- Around the middle of the decade there will be a huge legal movement that either completely halts illegal downloading or completely kills off physical product.
- There will be a general speed-up as record labels utilize the Taylor Swift method of releasing tracks before an album's launch and random new songs after. There will be more EPs released Fame Monster-style. This will eventually lead to an almost entirely singles-based market by 2019.
- Conversely, a clutch of critically acclaimed albums that will eventually be looked upon as all-time classics will be released as this singles-based market allows musicians to take more artistic risks.
- At least one track will have sold a million copies in a week by 2012.
Literally named "backintime", wow

-Rap/hip hop's mainstream presence will continue to die out and will be completely out of the mainstream by 2012. Popular 2000s hip hop songs such as Low, Ridin', In Da Club, ect, will be laughed at and ridiculed similar to the way we ridicule the whole 'disco craze' of the 70s. this aged well

Literally named "backintime", wow backintime/Billy Shears was trufax the GOAT. I miss him. (side note, he got his name from a Mariah Carey lyric. Such a random source for a phrase that turned out to be so appropriate lol) I did not know this thread existed until now and his whole post, just wow. Who would have predicted the rise of k-pop? He even pegged a song selling 1 million+ in a week (albeit off by 3 years). I got a little bit of a chill reading the whole post. I think the only thing he was wrong about was the Hot 100 top 10 being entirely non-American artists at some point (I don't think that happened but you know what, with a post this accurate I wouldn't be surprised if it did).

I think the most hilarious thing is seeing all the early posts saying Teenage Dream would flop. It became one of the most successful albums of all time

Didnβt it almost happen at some point? There was a few weeks when 7 of the top 10 was occupied by Canadian artists during the drake, Justin, Shawn, Alessia days. I donβt remember what the other three songs were but one could have been Adele.

I donβt remember what the other three songs were but one could have been Adele. Late response is late, but yeah, for six weeks - 12/5/15 to 1/9/16 - 8 of the top 10 were international (Adele was the lone Brit). And the entire top 5 was Brit/Canadian even longer than that - from 11/14/15 to 1/16/16 (all songs involved eventually peaked in the top 5). This reached its apex on the last two dated weeks of December, when these artists took the entire top 8. 12/19/15: 1. Adele - Hello 2. Justin Bieber - Sorry 3. Drake - Hotline Bling 4. Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean 5. The Weeknd - The Hills 6. Shawn Mendes - Stitches 7. Justin Bieber - Love Yourself 8. Alessia Cara - Here9. Meghan Trainor - Like I'm Gonna Lose You 10. Selena Gomez - Same Old Love (For 12/26, Love Yourself would move up two spots and push The Hills and Stitches down one) A full international lockout could, in theory, happen in 2020. The Weeknd, Justin, Drake, Dua Lipa, and (presumably) Adele and Rihanna are all releasing something this year. The right timing could lead to some or all of them meeting up with each other, especially if an album bomb is involved. Drake might do it all by himself.
