    USAToday.com posted an article following America's listening habits for genres and songs. Of the top 100 most listened songs, only 13% went to rock with hits from Evanescence and Hoobastank. Country music was at an alarming 22%, and R&B/Hip-Hip took the top spot at 48%.

    However, it's been estimated that 1.1 billion radio listeners across America hear "Numb" every week! This means that every single average American citizen hears "Numb" about 4 times every week.

    Wow, that's alot of plays. Rock music being passed by R&B, okay that's believable...but country music?

    Guys, we made a mistake. 1.1 billion people in the US hear the song every week, it doesn't get played 1.1 billion times a week. Sure, Inthe End was the third highest played song of 2002 and it was only played 392,000 times the whole year.
