• Drake Wins Top Views on Lyric Website RapGenius.com in 2014

    This year, "RapGenius," one of the largest archives of hip-hop lyrics on the Web, compiled a list of statistics reviewing 2014 in terms of which artists and songs saw the most views. Drake found himself at the No. 1 artist slot for 2014 with the most views for an individual artist.Last year, saw a lot of new music, which unfortunately did not amount to much in terms of hitting the top seller's list. In fact, this year, hip-hop was excluded from the top 10 best-selling album list, as well as seeing a decline of 11 percent in sales overall from 2013.As "RapGenius" pointed out, looking up an artist's lyrics helps to separate the casual listeners from the loyal fans. Last year, singles saw more attention on the Web than albums as a whole on the lyric archive site, which reflects the trend that is becoming more apparent, with fans eager for singles and material quicker than it takes to put out a full album or EP.As reported, Bobby Shmurda's single "Hot N---a" took the No. 1 spot for the most-viewed lyrics for one single, with more than 3 million page views for 2014 and No. 3 overall in views, behind Beyoncé and Jay-Z's "Drunk in Love" and Eminem's "Rap God."
