UK Rap Gets a Scoreboard of Its Own
· New York time
BBC Radio 1Xtra has launched a weekly chart of the top 20 best-selling UK rap tracks, presented by DJ Kenny Allstar. The station describes the countdown as giving the music its own fair playing field. A dedicated list turns sales performance within one genre into a recurring radio event. It gives listeners a specific set of tracks to follow, while keeping the contest focused on UK rap rather than the whole music market. Charts turn numbers into a running argument about order. This one supplies a separate scoreboard and a presenter, so the debate can at least arrive at the same time each week.
