Hey been noticing a pattern here that def. wasn't around a couple years back...7 tracks out of the CHR Top 10 are completely synthesized (i. e. no guitar, piano, live drums, etc.)
Poker Face (#1), Boom Boom Pow (#2), Right Round (#3), Kiss Me Thru The Phone (#4), Blame It (#6), How Do You Sleep (#7), and If U Seek Amy (#9)...and three of the biggest gainers below the Top 10 (Halo, Don't Trust Me, and Sugar) are also completely synth...
Weird cause the last time CHR was this "synthesized" was prob. the early 80s I'm guessin, but even then they used lived drums and bass
Kinda wishin this trend would turn around...

^^You'll get your wish in a few years and this type of scenario will seem unreal then.

Yeah this "electronic" period won't last. I give it another year or two.

Most mainstream hip-hop and R&B on the pop charts use sampled drums and MIDI/sampled piano, and that sound was big before this "electro" phase right now, so it's really been like that for awhile? lol

I hope it doesn't change. I am actually getting into this type of music now.
