"One-third of 2005's Billboard chart-topping songs mentioned drug and/or alcohol use, reports the University of Pittsburgh: The words often linked the usage with sex, violence, or peer pressure. Rap ranked highest, with references in 77 percent of songs; country music came in second, at 36 percent; rock and pop trailed behind at 14 and 9 percent, respectively." -Kristyn Pomranz
