Does rap outsell all music combined?

No, rap does not outsell all music combined.

While hip-hop, including rap, has become one of the most popular genres of music worldwide, it does not outsell all other genres combined. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the global music industry generated total revenues of $20.2 billion in 2019. Of this, recorded music revenue accounted for $15.7 billion. The top-selling genre that year was pop, with Latin pop being particularly successful.
