I know what @genocidecutter means.

Rap was an underground thing in the 80s., The only rap that got played on the radio was Salt N Pepa, MC Hammer and Run DMC. Otherwise you had to stay up late at night to hear it on the radio or tune in to Yo! MTV Raps or rap City to catch the videos. New York had Video Music Box.

Public Enemy had classic records and I'm pretty sure their albums went gold or platinum but their music didn't get played on the radio the way Drake, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj get played on the radio nowadays. Things were different.

ya know what would be fun?

gettin technical in this thread

Top 40 isn't the only barometer of defining a hit record. That article should've been about artists with one top 40 hit.
