Music is so segregated now I think it's hard for radio stations to keep up with all the new music that comes out in the West. Many people listen within quite narrow genres. Those who listen to chart music listen to rnb or dance stuff, then you have those who listen to metal, then those who listen to electronica, then those who listen to indie rock/pop, and others who probably listen to country/folk. There was a time when you could probably hear several different types of thing in the charts and on a radio station even if some things dominated more, I'm not so sure that is the case now. I like to give all things a chance, but I don't think most have the inclination or the time to do that.
