2010s charts, All-time charts, and others. [UNOFFICIAL]

Post with 5 songs in the top 100. So f**king impressive

[Lukas]

This is the revised (and definitely more accurate) version of the Streaming Decade-End List. The exact multipliers used for the chart are a complete mystery as of right now but the ones listed below should be very close to the actual ones that will be used since they do weigh each year fairly equally.

Here are the multipliers again. Anything inside the top 300 is listed in the “bubbling under” section.

1/26/2013 - 8/8/2015: 0.9
8/15/2015 - 2/4/2017: 1.0
2/11/2017 - 7/7/2018: 0.9
7/14/2018 - present: 1.2

Since Streaming Songs is almost finished (well, "almost" because I'll still be posting chart updates for the chart, but probably not every week), it is natural to follow up with decade-end lists for the Radio songs and Digital Sales songs. Since someone already did the Digital Sales Songs list a few months ago (I'm still attempting to figure out what system they're using lol), I've decided to start calculating the decade-end list for Radio Songs. The multipliers used for this list will be interesting to say the least (2012-2015 had higher turnover on the chart than 2010-2011 did), but different from the Hot 100. Later on I might update the Digital Sales Songs decade-end list once I figure out the system.

[kierz7]

^^^

Could you also do a list for “Radio Songs Artists”?

Rihanna is CLEARLY #1 by a margin - she has the most #1s, most weeks at #1 - followed by Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 but it’d be interesting to see how Adele/Katy Perry/Taylor Swift/Justin Bieber etc. rank in the top 10 as their stats are quite close to eachother from what I’ve researched.

Thanks for your hard work Babe.

Once I finish Radio Songs I can definitely make a list for Radio Songs Artists from the data I get from the songs, which shouldn't be that difficult since I am tracking every song that charted on the list from this decade.

Speaking of which, I should also do an artists list for Streaming as well since I have all the data for the songs.

[kierz7]

WAIT...

Lukas; Tanooki; rockgolf.

How would the decade-end streaming songs artists even be compiled? I'm confused.

Would it be a combination of how artists performed across ALL streaming platforms throughout the decade?

I've just looked on the "Streaming Songs" wikipedia page, which I presume just takes into account ONLY Spotify performance, and if we go by that the "Female streaming songs artist" of the 2010s is Miley Cyres. She apparently has the most number ones (3) and the most weeks at number one (25).

Now, we all know that the female streaming artist of the 2010s is Rihanna, followed by Ariana (although Ariana may edge Rih. out given she's released far more material in the streaming era) and that's across all platforms, in the U.S and especially WW. Cyrus' records come from mainly 2014-2015 when streaming was BARELY a thing.

Why would you assume it takes only streams from Spotify into account? I'm guessing Billboard will track streaming data starting from when they started their streaming songs chart, meaning from around 2013. So, they'll track streams from (I'm guessing all streaming platforms) from then till now.

If a streaming artists list will be compiled, we have to assume Billboard will ONLY track US-based streams so the streams from YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, etc which will he considered will only be US-based since most of the data represented on Billboard's charts are US-based.

Drake has the Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Streaming Songs artist of the decade honors on lock. Rihanna should have digital sales and radio songs artist of the decade honor on lock (The digital sales award will be tricky because while Rihanna has sold more digital singles than Drake this decade, he's moved more single units (SPS) and has more singles certified than her [he's currently at 154 million certified single units and Rihanna's currently at 124 million certified units]). If Billboard considers touring, Taylor should have that honor on lock. If they consider social media engagement, I'd see it either being between Justin Bieber or BTS (I favor BTS because I also think that they'll win group of the decade if there's an honor for that).

Beyond making lists for the biggest radio songs and the highest selling digital sale songs, will you be making lists for the radio songs and digital sales artists of the decade? I find that the lists for artists are more interesting because you get a better read of where artists will end up on the overall artist of the decade list. It's also just fun to know the biggest artist of the decade in each and every metric.

Drake doesn’t have the Hot 100 artist of the decade” honour on lock. There’s still a chance that Rihanna could acquire that title should she release a single that manages to surpass Drake’s 49 weeks at number one; she’s currently at 41 weeks.

As I’ve stipulated before:

- Rihanna has the most number one singles of the 10’s, and May only extend her lead should she score her 10th number one this decade with her next lead single. (Only The Beatles/Mariah Carey have achieved that).

- Rihanna has the most weeks in the top ten of the 10’s.

- Drake has the most weeks at number one of the 10’s.

- Drake has the most top ten’s.

At this moment in time, aside from Rihanna and Drake being the obvious top two, I don’t even know the top ten Hot 100 artists of the decade list will be ranked.

•••

Drake has the Streaming honours on lock, without a shadow of a doubt.

The BB200 honour is still in contest between him and Taylor Swift I believe, especially now that Swift is releasing another album

•••

Rihanna will be the Airplay artist of the decade by far, but she won’t be the Digital songs artist of the decade. Billboard doesn’t rank that honour by sales but by most number ones; weeks at number one etc. Thus far Taylor Swift ranks at number one. Rihanna was the Digital songs artist of the 2000’s and she should rank in the top 5 this decade too which is incredible.

•••

Maroon 5 are going to be the Band/Duo/Group of the decade, on both the Hot 100 and BB200. BTS won’t come close aside from on Social Media and possibly touring.

•••

The touring honour is easily going to Swift, especially if she starts another tour before November with massive sellouts across the U.S again.

•••

THAT SAID...

I believe Drake just may be the OVERALL “AOTD” given his consistent top three rankings in the three major departments: Streaming; Hot 100; BB200.

But then again, who knows. Eminem was ranked #1 for the 2000’s even though he was completely weak on the Hot 100; Airplay; Digital sales etc but OBLITERATED the BB200. Billboard may give Adele the honour based on 21 and 25’s massive successes alone!

Okay. I got you.

I’m that case...

1) Drake (based on Spotify and AM alone).
2) Justin Bieber

The rest.

[thegreatdivine]

kierz7 I think it'll be a combination of streams every streaming platform, including YouTube. Billboard has a chart for on-demand streams that's a component of the streaming songs chart. I think it'll be a combination of streams from every platform since Billboard started including streams in the Hot 100 and they'll all be US-based, so yeah, if I had to guess, since 2013, it'd be Drake, Justin Bieber and everyone else.

About your Miley Cyrus/Rihanna point, it shouldn't be all that surprising considering the fact that Rihanna has only dropped on album since 2013. In comparison, Bieber has dropped 3 albums since 2013 and Drake has dropped 6 projects since then. Still, I think Rihanna will be easily favored because after Drake, she's the most streamed artist globally.

I believe Drake just may be the OVERALL “AOTD” given his consistent top three rankings in the three major departments: Streaming; Hot 100; BB200.

There's no way Rihanna gets the Hot 100 artist of the decade honor the same way there's no way Taylor Swift gets the Billboard 200 artist of the decade honor. Both charts are Billboard's biggest/longest running charts and chart points will more than likely be the method they use for their calculations. Drake has a sizeable lead over Rihanna in the running for the Hot 100 artist of the decade award. A lead that's only gotten extended this year with all the songs he's had charting while Rihanna has had 0. The last time she was on the Hot 100 was in April of last year. As for the running for the Billboard 200 artist of the decade award, as at the last week of 2018, Drake was #1 with 20.6 million chart points. Adele was #2 with 19.6 million chart points. Taylor Swift was #3 with 18.6 million chart points. Since 2019 started, he's been charting 5/6/7 albums weekly, more than twice the number of albums by any other artist. I did a rough estimate and by now, his once 1 million chart point lead over Adele should be more like 1.5-1.6 million chart points now. For Taylor, that lead is almost 3 million chart points. Taylor having the #1 album from the week she drops till the end of the decade won't matter. She won't ever catch up. For the Hot 100 artist of the decade award, the number of weeks spent at #1/in the top 10 don't matter. Chart points do and Drake has more any which way you look at it. 

Even if Billboard uses raw sales figures for their Billboard 200 artist of the decade considerations, Drake won't be far behind. He's currently in the lead.

Across the 5/6 albums he charts every week, he does at least 40-50K SPS every week. By the time Taylor's album drops, he'd have reached 27M album units for the decade. 

I don't think Adele takes the award. There's too many metrics for Billboard to consider in this decade. Metrics they didn't consider in the last decade. And even if they stick to just the Hot 100/Billboard 200, Drake still wins. There's really no situation where he doesn't take home that award. I was holding off from making that conclusion because I thought Rihanna would drop early and score some smash singles at the top of the year. I also thought Adele would have dropped by now along with Taylor and Taylor would have started touring before the year ended to give herself a boost, but none of that has happened and Drake's lead in all metrics has only extended. 

You're right about Maroon 5. I completely forgot about them. They should easily win group of the decade.

I'm just interested in seeing how many metrics they actually consider and how they go through the whole awarding process this decade.

[thegreatdivine]

kierz7 The person running this account is a Taylor Swift stan.

I've been on other music forums where people make pretty accurate predictions and everyone's result is damn near identical. Drake at #1, Rihanna/Taylor at #2, Adele at #3 and then everyone else. I've done my own calculations, too and got the same result.

[kierz7]

thegreatdivine

If Rihanna is the “Female Artist of the Decade” that would be FANTASTIC.

If she ranks #3 then that will be good too considering she was the #16 AOTD for the 2000’s/#7 among Females so for her to be in the overall top three the following decade and be #1 among Females would just highlight her MASSIVE consistency. Only Mariah Carey has her best across two decades as she was #1 overall in the 90’s and then #11 for the 2000’s.

•••

Moreover, OMG... Who is this user and how on earth do they know this? What ‘factors’ were considered when ranking this?

•••

I love Drake but ugh... I wanted the Hot 100 AOTD to be Rihanna’s title overall. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, AND I KNOW YOU DISAGREE, BUT... I still think she has a chance. Like you said... their are a lot of factors to consider. LOL.

Either way, I’m proud of Drake. He dropped in 2009 and has had a monopoly on the U.S ever since, the same way Rihanna was destroying internationally at her peak.

Rihanna, Taylor and Adele are disadvantaged because they both had albums out before the decade started. The two artists who benefitted the most were Bruno Mars and Drake. They both dropped their debut albums in 2010, the start of the decade. Only 4 Rihanna albums count for this decade.

They considered everything. Chart points + raw data for both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200, streaming, digital sales, etc.

I think Rihanna will come in at #2. The only metric she's weak in is the Billboard 200. She's right after Drake in the Hot 100, streaming and single sales. She's #1 in airplay and she's pulled her own weight in touring this decade. Add all of that up and I easily have her at #2. Of course, that's still left to be seen.

Rihanna did have the Hot 100 AOTD honor in the bag and then 2018 happened. Drake was the third most successful Hot 100 AOTD and in less than a year not only surpassed her at #1, but gave her a sizeable gap. All that was possible because of 3 #1 singles that spent 29 weeks at #1. Erase 2018 and Rihanna has that title in the bag EASILY.

It also didn't help that she went quiet. She hasn't charted any song in well over a year now while Drake hasn't left. She could have caught up to him if she started her era early in 2019 with some smash singles. She could have covered the gap. Unfortunately, August is almost here and it doesn't look like we'll be getting a new single from her anytime soon and with the way fans have been pressuring her for a new album, I think her lead single/album won't drop that far apart from each other.

Drake just did all the right things to come out in front of the race and I don't even think he calculated it. He just kept dropping songs/albums that kept taking off and here we are.

Whatever happens, I'm glad we've got a generation of artists who are current icons and future legends. They've done things in their careers I'm not so sure the next generation of musicians will be able to do.

kierz7 take solace in the fact that Rihanna will end her career as one of the biggest Hot 100 artists of all time. She's currently #10 and will most likely end her career somewhere in the top 5, maybe even top 3. She has more #1 singles than I think any other female artist will ever remain consistent enough to get. Her legacy is established already. Any other thing she does now will only add to her legacy. Same can be said for Bruno, Adele, Taylor, Drake, etc. That's why their class is so special to me. They've achieved SO MUCH already and they're all just in their early 30's. I'm more impressed with that than anything else.

Isn't rockgolf doing the artists list? I'm pretty sure he published such a list already, not too long ago.

Makes sense that 2010 has 13 song because that year had seventeen #1s and 2017 with only 7 songs is okay because the Despacito/SOY/TWIL trio peaked within weeks of each other thus not giving a chance for songs like Humble and I'm The One to have more weeks in the top 3. I really don't like how 2013 is underrepresented, but it's for the same reason of 2017... Blurred Lines, Roar, Royals, Wrecking Ball and Wake Me Up basically killed any other song with a chance to reach this decade top 100 because they had to chart in the top 5/10 during the same era. WMU is the biggest #4 of all-time (if I'm not mistaken) for a reason...

[tanooki]

Wake Me Up is the biggest #4 of all time, yeah

Because Drake has a ton of entries on the Hot 100, and most of them aren't solo entries either. The thing is, you can't just add up all of the points for each of the songs; you have to weigh each individual song based off of features, lead artists, "&", as well as songs that have multiple features/lead artists. Labeling such songs and weighting them accordingly alone already takes up a chunk of time.

Drake has the Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Streaming Songs artist of the decade honors on lock. Rihanna should have digital sales and radio songs artist of the decade honor on lock (The digital sales award will be tricky because while Rihanna has sold more digital singles than Drake this decade, he's moved more single units (SPS) and has more singles certified than her [he's currently at 154 million certified single units and Rihanna's currently at 124 million certified units]). If Billboard considers touring, Taylor should have that honor on lock. If they consider social media engagement, I'd see it either being between Justin Bieber or BTS (I favor BTS because I also think that they'll win group of the decade if there's an honor for that).

I think that would go to One Direction

Actually, I think it goes to Maroon 5.

Lukas Okay, I get it now. Calculating over 190 entries can be a lot. Especially since it covers just one artist. Sorry.
