By the end of the 20th century it had become almost impossible to discern the difference between the center and the periphery of American popular music. For one thing, the most economically successful popular music no longer featured a common ingredient or style. The best-selling recording artists of the 1990s included the adult-contemporary diva Mariah Carey, country-music superstar Garth Brooks, R&B vocal quartet Boyz II Men, “gangsta” rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, venerable heavy-metal band Metallica, punk-influenced rock bands such as Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers, teeny-bopper artists such as Britney Spears and *NSYNC, introspective singer-songwrite

Two other innovations in 20th-century music were serialism and indeterminacy, or chance. Serialism is based on the principle of the twelve-tone method. An order of succession is established for rhythmic values for levels of loudness, for example, as well as for pitches.
HIT'S LIST
The beach Boys
- American rock group, known for its rich vocal harmonies and for songs about cars, love, and surfing in the California sun. The band was formed in 1961 by three brothers from Hawthorne, California—Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson—their cousin Mike Love, and a friend, Al Jardine. The Beach Boys moved quickly from local to national fame with a run of hit songs during the mid-1960s, including “Surfin' U.S.A.” (1963), “Fun, Fun, Fun” (1964), “I Get Around” (1964), “Help Me, Rhonda” (1965), and “California Girls” (1965). Based largely on an ideal of California adolescence, the group's records helped define a style known as surf music.
The Beach Boys
- By the 1980s, the remaining Beach Boys had become essentially a nostalgia group. Brian lived under the care of a controversial therapist and, in 1983, Dennis Wilson drowned off the California coast. In 1988, Brian released a solo album, Brian Wilson, which was well-received by critics but not by the public. That same year, the Beach Boys were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, without Brian's participation, scored another hit with their Caribbean-tinged novelty song “Kokomo,” from the soundtrack of the motion picture Cocktail (1988). In 1998 Carl Wilson died and the remaining band members split up into several different groups
