Doesn't surprise me, it figures the cycle would swing back to rock. In
another few years - 5 to 6 maybe - it'll go back to pop again. Just
because Rock is selling more, though, doesn't necessarily mean all the
bands are any more talented than the pop groups; for all we know, there
could be an upsurge of pre-fab 'rock' groups tailor-made to take advantage
of the genre's popularity.
