According to NME the rock genre has taken over pop music recently. In 2011, 2012 and 2013 records such as AM from Arctic Monkeys and Jake Bugg's Shangri La reports The Guardian. 40% of 10,000 of the best selling albums in the UK in 2013 were classified as rock but best selling LP's were pop. Spokesperson of BPI Gennaro says "While the appeal of pop remains consistent, the popularity of rock music tends to ebb and flow a little more, reflecting as it does the excitement that can quickly build around new acts as they burst through. With Arctic Monkeys now taking on near-iconic status, and the likes of Jake Bugg and Bastille to name a few connecting with a new generation of fans, rock music looks set to enjoy another wonderfully vibrant period."
