Billboard and R&R Year-End Charts

The year-end charts for Billboard and Radio and Records are out. There's more similarity between the Hot 100 and the R&R CHR/pop charts than there's been in years, which I think demonstrates a resurgence in pop music this year.

Billboard Hot 100 (top 10 of 2008)

1. Low - Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain
2. Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
3. No One - Alicia Keys
4. Lollipop - Lil Wayne
5. Apologize - Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic
6. No Air - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
7. Love Song - Sara Bareilles
8. Love in This Club - Usher Featuring Young Jeezy
9. With You - Chris Brown
10. Forever - Chris Brown

R&R CHR/Top 40 (top 10 of 2008)

1. Low - Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain
2. Leavin - Jesse McCartney
3. Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
4. Apologize - Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic
5. Forever - Chris Brown
6. Take a Bow - Rihanna
7. No Air - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brow
8. No One - Alicia Keys
9. Love Song - Sara Bareilles
10. With You - Chris Brown

Wow...no kidding on the similarities. That's kind of interesting that Rihanna made the airplay top 10, but not the Hot 100. It's always been my contention that you have to have one of three things to make the top 10: crossover (Lollipop), sales (Bleeding Love), or longevity (Apologize). Flo Rida had all three, so that's really a no-brainer.

Yeah, I had a hunch Flo Rida would get it. Especially since the chart years go from the end of November. Still, I was hoping "Bleeding Love" might have been #1.
