Examples please? Let's say within the past 5 years? I don't follow mainstream but these artists come to mind.

Pro sex: Miley, Iggy, Nicki, Katy Perry(maybe?), Rhiana (50/50)

vs: Adele, Gaga, Swift, Grande, Lorde, Jlo, Beyonce, and countless others.

The sex oriented artists may attract the most publicity but they are certainly not dominating the market as a whole. I'd consider the pro-sex artists a minority.
