Glad there's an update on the Hot 100 list after just a couple of years. The Hot 100 list is one thing (and a task with the breakdown of points because of featuring roles), but the albums acts list especially must have been a huge undertaking.

The albums chart info starts in 1963, so, as with the Hot 100, Elvis Presley's history is not complete. The albums chart didn't become 200 positions until 1967, and has had numerous names through the years.

EDIT: Billboard looks to have accidentally missed Rick Nelson on the Hot 100 acts list, so there probably will be a revision. Also, it looks like a recalculation resulted in instances of acts (Kenny Rogers and Linda Ronstadt) ranking above others that they ranked below on the list (they have had no activity since 2013). Also, Ray Charles ranks below Chubby Checker, whereas he ranked above him on the last list.

[when the pawn...]

Fun lists, especially the albums one since I've never seen one like that before. I wish they did a list of the top artists, combining Hot 100 and Billboard 200 points.

[Kris]

Glad UF is still fairly far away from IGF and PRA, knew after 52 weeks it didn't cut it close.

[Gary]

Good stuff. Those "all time" prediction lists that are found here look off a bit.

[areyoureadytojump]

If "Kidz Bop" was eligible for Most Top 10 albums, shouldn't the "Now" series be counted as well?

[Gary]

I have not looked at the lists yet but I would guess Kidz Bop Kids are an actual artist. (Even though each song probably has different kids - all under the same label)

The Now series contains many artists

CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS

Billboard vp charts and data development Silvio Pietroluongo explains the methodology behind the all-time charts.

How did you assemble these charts?

First, we used a sliding scale to rank each title: A No. 1 record would get X amount of points, a No. 2 a little less and so on. Second, since chart rules and chart behavior changed over time, we weighed the years and eras differently. For example, songs and albums moved up and down the charts faster in the 1970s than in other eras, so a record that was No. 1 for five weeks in 1975 would be granted a higher point value than a record that was No. 1 for the same duration in 2010.

Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, according to the RIAA. So why isn't it No. 1 on the all-time Billboard 200?

These lists reflect the behavior of albums and songs on our charts, not overall sales. Albums such as Thriller continue to sell for quite some time even if they're no longer on the weekly Billboard 200.

How else has chart behavior changed?

Things changed dramatically in 1991 when Billboard introduced Nielsen-based point-of-purchase sales data. Before '91, only six albums had debuted at No. 1. Now, that's normal.

[Gary]

I find lists based on the Billboard 200, less interesting than the Hot 100 simply because it is not as accurate.

Before 1991 and since 2009 albums could chart basically forever. The true chart run of Thriller for instance is not captured here. Thriller continues to sell even after falling off the Billboard 200 but also still appears on the Billboard 200 if it sells enough. Between 1991 and 2009, not the case.

Poker Face and Just Dance were truly snubbed. They both didn't chart that well because of airplay, but both sold a lot more than:

WE FOUND LOVE
BOOM BOOM POW
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
TIK TOK
MOVES LIKE JAGGER

Even though these songs were released in an even better sales climate (for single sales) than Poker Face and Just Dance.

The downsides of the Hot 100 incorporating airplay :'(

[Deleted]

I'm confused why Daydream didn't make it while Music Box did.

Same here. I went through the list 3 times thinking I missed it. Weird

[Gary]

Music Box had a much longer chart run

[HolidayGuy]

Gary- I can see that point of view, RE the all-time lists pertaining to album performance. Billboard could have figured out some way of incorporating catalog top 50 performance from 1991-2009 to try and get a more accurate picture. Never mind that's not the BB 200- it's not like the most popular albums chart was always known as the Billboard 200, anyhow. Since stereo and mono were combined, it's been Top LPs, Top LPs & Tapes, Top 200 Albums, Top Pop Albums, The Billboard 200 Top Albums and The Billboard 200 (not to mention Catalog Albums and Album Sales charts). The Hot 100's always been the Hot 100, and always 100 positions- the albums chart is another story.

*I should note that there have been older singles that made chart waves as recurrents, when chart rules kept them off the Hot 100, but such instances were few and far between. Albums have been far more prevalent in terms of catalog performance and ranking among the overall best sellers, vs. recurrent singles in the past had performed in airplay/sales compared to then-current hits.

RE Music Box- it logged 128 weeks on the survey (eight weeks at No. 1), while Daydream had 81 weeks (six at No. 1).

[HolidayGuy]

The Hot 100 acts list has been updated to include Ricky Nelson at No. 58. So, everyone from Duran Duran on gets pushed down a spot.

Guys billboard.com just changed multiplier for songs post-2014:
pre streaming era this decade *1
post streaming era until 52/2013 *0.9
(calendar year) 1/2014 - 52/2014 *0.85
(calendar year) 1/2015 -- 52/2015 *0.8
Perhaps chart run this year is especially stagnant so they just pulled it back down further
(I always thought that it's been *0.9 all along)
AND THANKS TO THAT GUESS WHAT? UPTOWN FUNK JUST SLIPPED FROM #1 OF THE DECADE!

Or maybe Uptown Funk was never #1 for the decade. Your formula may have had it at #1 but that doesn't mean it was ever number one on Billboards formula

Why don't you trust me?

[ListenToItTwice]

I'm confused by "Pure Heroine" making the list while "Born to Die" did not. Any theories?

[Gary]

Lorde "only" charted 99 weeks but 23 of those were top 10

Born to Die is in fact still charting after 197 weeks but 143 of those weeks were spent below #50

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I like the Billboard 200 all-time chart because while we often compare giant-selling albums to other giant-selling albums, over time, album sales changed but if they stayed relatively consistent over the course of the rock era, how would it look based on weekly sales and here's your answer.

[85la]

The cutoff date to compile these lists was probably a couple months ago at the latest, so Uptown Funk's full 52 weeks isn't included; if they were it would surely rank higher.

Very surprised to see Radioactive miss the list. I guess songs that didn't hit #1 are at a severe disadvantage. In fact, are there any songs that made it that peaked below #2?

[HolidayGuy]

^The info is through the Oct. 10 charts.

[Gary]

Regardless of where Uptown Funk is placed through today's charts, I am glad we get updates on this more frequently than every 5 years.

Regarding Radioactive and others, it is all about chart runs and where that run takes place. A #2 song that is near the top for most of its run will fare better than songs with long chart runs where most of it was spent at lower positions.

#1 songs get bonus points, I believe so there is a bias towards that.
