(Stacker) — Hip-hop and R&B music are powerful forces, even within the vast tapestry of America’s musical genres. The catchy hooks and emotionally charged lyrics have woven seamlessly into the U.S. cultural narrative, encapsulating moments that resonate with millions. The current charts, showcasing popular tracks such as Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” and Luke Combs’ rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” are either squarely in the category or borrow from the genre, featuring smooth intros that ease listeners into the groove.
The nation has always had a rich musical history, with diverse beats marking different eras. But there are certain tracks and moments, like Billie Eilish’s stirring “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie” that become indelibly etched in the collective consciousness. But not every listener can keep track of every hit, so the question often arises: “What’s that song?” It could very well be “Bipolar,” a heartfelt song of lost loves by Peso Pluma, Jasiel Nuñez, and Junior H. Its Spanish lyrics and unmistakable sentimental corrido style exemplifies how international influences continue to shape American music.
To identify the current musical zeitgeist, Stacker compiled a list of the songs most often Shazamed in Tampa. This list is based on the frequency of Shazam identifications and the song’s broader popularity. Dive into our findings, and there’s a good chance you’ll recognize Tampa’s current soundtrack—or even discover your next playlist staple.
