[iHype.]

I will try to post the first list tomorrow. Any predictions for the leading person so far?

Anyone else obviously welcome to post their own predictions in general.

My guess is that Drake or Roddy Ricch is going to be leading the list so far for hot 100 artist.

[thegreatdivine]

Roddy Ricch, Post Malone, Drake and DaBaby should all be in the top 10 for the 2020 Hot 100 Artist so far.

[Myth X]

Maybe it's because of touring?


Top Touring Artists:

Ed Sheeran (top 6) They didn't reveal his placement but he's obviously in the top 6

12 P!nk
13 One Direction

22 Justin Bieber



By the way I noticed Bieber is higher than Ed in the All time list so this means the All Time Artists list doesn't include touring


Decade:
6. Ed
7. Bieber

All-time:
55. Bieber
84. Ed


That's a big gap between Bieber and Ed in the all-time list and Bieber only had some minor success in 2009 with One Time so obviously almost all his points were from the 2010s.

[Myth X]

By the way who do you think will be the Top Artist of this year? The Weeknd, Post Malone or Roddy?

[iHype.]

Since most artists have rather small amounts of points barely 1 year into the tracking period decade, I am only doing a top 10 right now. I'll obviously try to expand every update. 

* This is not similar to Year-End, which calculates points for each chart based on real sales/streams/airplay. Decade-End/All-Time charts use a point system where each position every week has a set amount of points, and different years have different multipliers for the points.

Tracking period: October 5, 2019 - November 28, 2020
[Billboard 2010's decade-end period ended September 28, 2019 and I'm not sure whether they'll start 2020's decade-end period the week after or December 2019...]

The tricky part is not knowing what multiplier for points they are using for Billboard 200 this year. It changes very often. As for now I'm using the multiplier that was used at the end of 2019.

Year-End is calculated with real sales/streams/airplay points unlike the Decade-End, but I think it's either Post or Weeknd.

If they include touring this year, Post Malone has it, as he actually was able to tour due to most dates being before COVID. I don't think its fair to include touring this year though since obviously it poses an unfair advantage due to restrictions for those who had tours after March. If they choose not to include touring this year then I think Weeknd possibly has a chance.
