The Hot 100 Chart is not a white chart. It is an integrated chart of all kinds of music. To become number one on that chart is an accomplishment because the artist is competing with all types of music. The Hot 100 has had a variety of music at the top.

Unfortunately, a lot of Black people refer to it as the 'white" chart. There may be some truth to it because the majority of the population is still white, and the majority of radio stations are/were pop/rock or country stations, which have more white listeners than the R&B/urban/Black/whatever stations. However, since much of the music that makes it to the top is R&B/hip-hop/disco/funk/rap, one cannot reliably say that pop/rock is the type of music that is always played on them, or is consumed by those white audiences.

I want to add that I also frequent another message board where many members dislike R&B music. I really wish people would stop segregating themselves from different types of music.
