@bourgwick @bookstodon now I'm wondering what the last antifascist top 10 pop group was.

Was it Chumbawamba? I bet it was Chumbawumba.

Not a pop group per se, but "American Idiot" by Green Day was number 1 for a while. I guess you could consider it an antifascist critique of media. I don't really listen to rap, but I would think there are antifascist rap songs that have made the top 10.
