Just push the better rappers to the top… that’s literally all you have to do.
Is country music taking over as the top genre over rap?

I didn't mean to verge!
There's way better genres than hip hop and country 
One is off beat adults now and the other sounds like an endless beer commercial

Hopefully all them vultures flock to a more trendy genre & let rap be done by people who actually are on some rap shythopefully
time to reset it
Ironically, Country and Rap pretty much have a mirrored history.
So if Country becomes what Rap was at its height of mainstream popularity, you will probably begin to see more of a loud pushback from the culture.

Once they figured out country hip hop (thanks nelly!) it was only time they would come back to being number 1.

Like others said, Country has always been successful sales wise. It just wasn't major on streaming until recent years.
But Country today is ironically more diverse and hip hop adjacent than it's ever been.

Rap has always been the most popular. The office directives have just shifted the same way they did maybe 10-15 years ago to push rap to the forefront of the numbers. Tangentially you can do a lot more business-wise w/ country music stars than rap stars and given the lifestyles folks in both genres lead, country is a better investment.

OP posted a tweet with the 12 most relevant female artists in the world, none of them are country music stars...so why the thread title lol.
I seem to recall rap music dominating all music discourse in the US this year for damn near 3 months during a rap battle. Rap remains the dominant genre. If there's a concern with rap it's that execs largely view it as a short term investment whereas they're willing to invest in pop. With rappers they're fine with a few heavily streamed singles from the next viral rappers. With pop they're crafting albums, rollouts, and massive tours. Sure rap still has Drake/Cole/Kendrick/Travis/Nicki selling a lot and doing big tours but it's a small list compared to pop.

Or maybe Hip Hop has infiltrated Country. A lot of country songs now have heavy bass in it. Shaboozy's song uses Jkwons lyrics. I even hear a lot of slang from hip hop culture in country songs now.
