billboards doesn't play as big of a role as it used to either. Thanks to the internet people are listening to whatever they want when they want.
Its always easy to make a compilation of the crap music of the year and then generalize the whole music industry off that. But hell, look at how many commercially successfull good albums came out this year:
neon bible
in rainbows
icky thump
Kala
under the black light
finding forever
back to black
hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?
If anything, good music went up this year!
