It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Jazz is now the least popular U.S. musical genre.

Falling below even classical, but only because of classical's better album sales (otherwise, they are tied for last). At least, that's what Nielsen says. But Nielsen seems to report on only a short list of genres.

For example, Balinese gamelan music is not considered, though "world" music was a genre that used to occupy at least a couple of shelves in the record shops. Folk music isn't on Nielsen's list, either. Sorry, Weavers.

So it seems those two genres at least have beaten jazz over the edge of the cliff.
