The Big Artist Rankdown (September 7th!)

[Normi]

Welcome to The Big Artist Rankdown!



This is a definitely rankdown that has never happened before! Instead of ranking songs or albums, we are ranking complete ARTISTS!



How to rank them, though? Well that's up to you completely! You can either go with your overall feeling towards the artist but you can also just consider their discography, their personality or you could just rank your favorite song for each artist and rank them that way!



First of, here is the full list of artists you'll have to rank

Adele
Alicia Keys
Akon
Ariana Grande
Avril Lavigne
Beyoncé
Britney Spears
Bruno Mars
BTS
Carrie Underwood
Chris Brown
Coldplay
Daughtry
Drake
Ed Sheeran
Eminem
Fergie
Fetty Wap
Future
Gwen Stefani
Iggy Azalea
Imagine Dragons
Jonas Brothers
Jordin Sparks
Justin Bieber
Justin Timberlake
Kanye West
Katy Perry
Kendrick Lamar
Ke$ha
Lady Antebellum
Lady GaGa
Leona Lewis
Lil Wayne
LMFAO
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Maroon 5
Mary J. Blige
Meghan Trainor
Miley Cyrus
Nickelback
Ne-Yo
Nicki Minaj
One Direction
P!nk
Pharrell Williams
PussyCat Dolls
Rascal Flatts
Rihanna
Sam Smith
Sean Paul
Shawn Mendes
Taylor Swift
The Black Eyed Peas
The Chainsmokers
The Fray
The Weeknd
T.I.
T-Pain
Twenty One Pilots
Usher



Why these artists? This list is based on all artists that reached the Top 10 on the annual Year End Artist chart that Billboard publishes (since 2006).
But before you wonder why this and that artist didn't make the list - they weren't successful enough to make it: The list is based on single, album and tour success + social media status (which is why Taylor is in it for almost every year.) Don't worry though, as there'll be honorable mentions!



EXTRA!

Send in up to 10 more artists that are not on the list that you love as well!

Here is what you have to do:

1) Rank all the artists with #1 being your favorite and #61 being your least favorite!
2) Send your list to Normi until March 30, 2018!
3) Here is a playlist that might help you re-gain an overall idea of the artist. It's based on the artist's current top song on Spotify as a lead artist. Don't rank these songs, it's just a help.








4) Enjoy!

OH I'M IN

LET THE SHADE BEGIN

[Deleted]

I will do so bad on this.

[samo🦕]

Is there a Pulse Award for Shadiest Thread? This has it in the bag. It's basically a war of the stans.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Interesting

[MoD]

Definetely will do this

[SHOOTER]

In.

[born]

I always wanted an artist RD. I just think that the results are going to be messed up. Big SDs for the pop divas and much bias towards everyone.

[Deleted]

May do this, I just need to finish the 2017 non-US hits RD

[Zach]

Yeah I'm 100% submitting for this ASAP. The results will be interesting.

[born]

Jonas Brothers and BTS over Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez? Hmm

Edit: Just saw the full artist list and I realized that BTS actually kinda deseve to be there. But what's going on with those irrelevant 2000s fads? I mean, Demi and Selena had top 10 hits this year (and decade lol)

[willapted33]

/in

[Normi]

Just did this myself
My Top 10 is all female #oops
When doing this and revisiting certain artists' catalogs, I noticed how much I loved (or hated) them and was surprised by the results of my own list!

[kacpe3]

I'm in.

[Normi]

Honorable mention:

Kelly Clarkson



#14 2006
#14 2009
#16 2012

Kelly Clarkson has been very successful for the past decade, however she could never hit the Artist's Top 10! If this list originated a year earlier in 2005, she would've been in that year's Top 3 definitely!

Kellegend Clarkson was robbed while some fads who haven't had a single hit since then, made it.

Would've been my #5 or maybe even #4.

[sergejdordij]

This rankdown might hurt me, since there are a lot of artists that I like.
But I'll do it! :)

[Choco]

Oh the drama, I'm gonna enjoy this one.

Sent my list :)

[carriefan15]

Ready for this!!!!

[thelegends]

[Normi]

Honorable mention:

Jason Aldean



#13 2011
#13 2012

This country artist had some very popular and successful singles but couldn't be successful enough to his the Top 10!

[Raccoon]

why is Selena Gomez not here smh

[Deleted]

Won't be doing this.

[carriefan15]

I’ll be sending my list in on Thursday!

Here's the tea

Honorable mention:

Selena Gomez



#12 2015
#11 2016

She got very unlucky! The 'Revival' era was a huge success for Gomez, spawning 3 Top 10 singles! However, that era happened between the chart years 2015 & 2016, meaning she never had enough success in either year to make the Top 10!


BUT WAIT: ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING!



Choco gave me an idea! There will be an extra

Send in your favorite artists, that are not on the list! No matter if they were an honorable mention or not! You may send up to 10 artists! Each submitted artist will give that artist ONE point! The artists with the most points will be presented during the reveals! (You can still send that if you have already submitted!)

So far I have inserted about 10 lists and the results look interesting!

[greentoo]

I hope Sia gets an honourable mention. #11 in 2012 and 2016.

[samo🦕]

Will Demi be an honourable mention?
Edit: Sent my list!
