Development of the basic genres of pop, rock, soul and country evolved over many decades. Classical and jazz music have loyal followings but usually attract a single digit share of the market, according to RIAA statistics. While rock has consistently been the leading genre in sales, the leading music formats on FM radio over the 2000s have been adult contemporary and country, according to M Street Corps and Inside Radio reports.
