Figure 4. Evolution of musical diversity in the Billboard Hot 100. We estimate four measures of diversity. From left to right: song number
in the charts, DN , depends only on the rate of turnover of unique entities (songs), and takes no account of their phenotypic similarity. Class
diversity, DS , is the effective number of styles and captures functional diversity. Topic diversity, DT , is the effective number of musical topics
used each year, averaged across the harmonic and timbral topics. Disparity, DY , or phenotypic range is estimated as the total standard
deviation within a year. Note that although in ecology DS and DY are often applied to sets of distinct species or lineages they need not be;
our use of them implies nothing about the ontological status of our styles and topics. For full definitions of the diversity measures, see
electronic supplementary material, M11. Shaded regions define eras separated by musical revolutions (figure 5).
