Mediabase - Top 40/Mainstream - 2019 Year-End Chart
Nov 19, 2019 19:05:11 GMT -5
Post by Cerebro on Nov 19, 2019 19:05:11 GMT -5
The Mediabase 2019 chart year has come to a close. The year began with the Sunday November 18, 2018 chart and ended this past Sunday with the November 17, 2019 rankings. The norm for Mediabase, these days, is to close their chart year two Sundays before Thanksgiving. That means this year will be a 53 week year, if they stick to the previous pattern. I'll adjust later, if I'm incorrect. UPDATE: I have learned that the Mediabase chart year ended with the Sunday November 10, 2019 chart. One week earlier than I was projecting (and too early, if you ask me). I have revised the rankings, below, to subtract the extra week.
As usual, Mediabase counts ALL spins, including recurrent play. A track needs to have spent, at least, one week as a "current" during the reporting period in order to be eligible for inclusion in the year-end rankings. Year-long recurrents don't count, though I have shown where they would have ranked within the top 100. Artist spin-weighting divides spins amongst the performers credited on each track with a greater weight given to lead performers over featured performers.
Normally, I'd post the link to the official year-end PDF in this space. Unfortunately, last year, someone at Mediabase decided that the PDF's were no longer fit for public consumption. Much to the disappointment of many of us. Hopefully, someone with an "in" will be kind enough to share it again, this year, when it gets released in a few weeks. For now, this is as close to official as I can get with what I have.
I've been tabulating this chart every year, this decade. Here are the rankings from past years:
2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018

Halsey blows aways the competition and, easily, nabs #1 for the year with "Without Me". It spent the first half of the year on the chart and remained a strong recurrent performer throughout the back half of the year, racking up well over a half million plays. With "Eastside" taking second place, Halsey can lay claim to the top two songs of the year. Something that hasn't been done since 2005 when Kelly Clarkson owned the top two with "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes", respectively.
Post Malone and Khalid both came off of strong years and each placed two songs in the year-end top 10. 2019 was a big year for comebacks, as well, with Panic! At The Disco and Jonas Brothers both scoring massive #1 hits, and career highs, after lengthly absences from the chart.
On the artist list, Ariana Grande is, far and away, the most played artist of the year with, nearly, 1.5 million combined plays. That sizable total came from a prolific output of material -- 7 charted singles (6 of them big top 10 hits) -- over the course of the year. Post Malone and Khalid also managed to break the 1 million barrier.
Post Malone takes the top male artist crown for a second consecutive year. Jonas Brothers are the top duo/group and Billie Eilish is the Top New Artist.[/font]
As usual, Mediabase counts ALL spins, including recurrent play. A track needs to have spent, at least, one week as a "current" during the reporting period in order to be eligible for inclusion in the year-end rankings. Year-long recurrents don't count, though I have shown where they would have ranked within the top 100. Artist spin-weighting divides spins amongst the performers credited on each track with a greater weight given to lead performers over featured performers.
Normally, I'd post the link to the official year-end PDF in this space. Unfortunately, last year, someone at Mediabase decided that the PDF's were no longer fit for public consumption. Much to the disappointment of many of us. Hopefully, someone with an "in" will be kind enough to share it again, this year, when it gets released in a few weeks. For now, this is as close to official as I can get with what I have.
I've been tabulating this chart every year, this decade. Here are the rankings from past years:

Halsey blows aways the competition and, easily, nabs #1 for the year with "Without Me". It spent the first half of the year on the chart and remained a strong recurrent performer throughout the back half of the year, racking up well over a half million plays. With "Eastside" taking second place, Halsey can lay claim to the top two songs of the year. Something that hasn't been done since 2005 when Kelly Clarkson owned the top two with "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes", respectively.
Post Malone and Khalid both came off of strong years and each placed two songs in the year-end top 10. 2019 was a big year for comebacks, as well, with Panic! At The Disco and Jonas Brothers both scoring massive #1 hits, and career highs, after lengthly absences from the chart.
On the artist list, Ariana Grande is, far and away, the most played artist of the year with, nearly, 1.5 million combined plays. That sizable total came from a prolific output of material -- 7 charted singles (6 of them big top 10 hits) -- over the course of the year. Post Malone and Khalid also managed to break the 1 million barrier.
Post Malone takes the top male artist crown for a second consecutive year. Jonas Brothers are the top duo/group and Billie Eilish is the Top New Artist.[/font]
