Deadmau5 is king... Pretty cool to see the time line of most popular genre. Electro had a huge jump in one year from 04-05. Its funny cause that's the genre I was most into at that period of time too. And its interesting to see the slow rise to the top.deep house has had.

FUCKING LOL at Dubstep, massive peak and then right back down again

I'm not sure how much mis-categorisation would throw the figures out.. But there is a lot in deep house that isn't really deep house

I reckon dubstep played a pretty huge part in the dnb spike, seeing as those genres blend alright

Tech house has been pretty consistent across the years.

No surprises there really.

Top post, would read again/10.

I think dubstep/bro step (skrilldog) played a massive part in the evolution of electro, breaks, glitch hop and moombahton. Even though there's a massive decline in dubstep sales, the elements are still very much alive.

Like I was saying to ox yesterday, the decline of dubstep sales could be a good thing and it'll return to what it use to be before the bro step takeover

Interesting seeing deep house top of the current sellers when the top 10 is dominated by progressive and electro. I guess more of those individual songs are sold where deep house must have decent sales across the board.
