The top rock music artists of 2016 according to album sales
Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated as “rock and roll” in the United States in the 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical sources.
The term “rock” was first used to describe a style of popular music in the 1950s, but it became associated with rock music only in the 1960s. In the 1960s, rock music developed different subgenres, such as pop rock, soft rock, hard rock, folk rock, glam rock, punk rock, and progressive rock. Although some of these terms were used interchangeably with “rock music”, they became more specific as subgenres developed.
