Rock is not what it was, but it's still huge, and Hip-Hop for all its current popularity, doesn't hold a candle to the absolute dominance that Rock had not that long ago.

And Rock is still underneath the most popular hits. The current 1st position, just as an example, is Closer by The Chainsmokers was - according to its authors - inspired by them listening non-stop to Blink-182.

Hip-Hop big names also constantly sample Rock songs, particularly older ones.

That list is pop stars and a bunch of old rock bands. Which I think is the point the article is making.
