What's Hot on the Charts?

This is an easy music question if you're talking BILLBOARD (Eminem was on repeatedly last year, the only artist to boast over 4 weeks at #1):  Rap is Pop.  But you out there may have other opinions.  R&B is big, of course, when you consider Beyonce and Rihanna; and those BILLBOARD charts have showed an interesting tendency to veer through several distinct genres at #1, especially early last year.  (The year wound up with Eminem topping sales, Taylor Swift #2 and Susan Boyle rounding out the Top 5.)  The Justin Bieber fans wouldn't agree that Rap is Pop (he was also huge last year), nor would the Taylor Swift listeners.  So my question for you is:  What do YOU think is hot on the charts?
