The graphs provide information about the sales of three types of music: pop,
classical, and rock over five decades.
In the period from 60s to 90s, there have been fluctuations in the sales of five
music genres. As we can see, pop music sales show sharp growth, becoming the
most popular genre by the end of the period. Classical music sales, in contrast,
firstly grow but then decline sharply, making it the least popular. Meanwhile, rock
music sales rise dramatically, surpassing pop and classical music before
declining slightly.
The bar graph further highlights these trends from 2000 to 2003. In 2000, pop
music dominated with over £4 billion in sales. Right after pop music, rock music
followed closely with £3 billion in sales. Classical music sales remained
significantly lower throughout these years at £2 billion. By 2003, only rock had a
slight increase to 3.5 billion. Although pop music has declined but still the
popular music. In contrast to pop music, classical music was the lowest sales
with just £1 billion.
In summary, pop music remained the most consistent performer, rock music
peaked but declined after, and classical music had minimal sales overall.
