The reason urban music did so well back then was because pop radio used to easily play urban songs. For example, back then a song like Loyal would have easily gone top 10 on pop, whilst today it struggles to get past #40. And with sales being very low at the time, the chart was 99% airplay, so it was nearly always a pop/urban crossover hit at #1. Even with the weightings of the formats today, it would have been exactly the same (see: the airplay success of Blurred Lines, All Of Me and Happy).
To be honest, it's almost like the mid-00s again today. All the #1s this year except Timber have been urban/pop crossover hits.
