Billboard 200 Decade-End Charts (every decade)

[iHype.]

Using a point system very close to the all-time Billboard 200's and used for the 2010s Billboard 200 Decade End.

There is no official Decade-Ends that exist for 1960s/1970s/1980s, for 1990s they used a wonky inverse point system they no longer claim, and for 2000s they used actual pure sales figures however album sales fell drastically throughout the decade making it also a weird choice.

Keep in mind some albums like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", Taylor Swift's "Fearless", Shania Twain's "Come On Over", amongst others had strong chart runs into the following decade which placed them higher on the all-time than albums they are below on decade-end.

Also the albums like "The Bodyguard" which have a second chart run after a death/re-issuing/etc that got them some lofty gains.

With 1990-1992 (more specifically 1991/1992) that was the year Billboard 200 switched to Soundscan thus they re-altered the multipliers for the years multiple times, so the margin of error for those albums is a little bit more than usual. Nothing major though.

I hope you could Top Artists lists for the 80's and 90's (Billboard 200 and Hot 100 combined)

Billboard only did a top 20 for the 90's and they didn't do an overall list for the 80's.

Yeah, I'll do a Top Artists list for previous decades based on the All-Time Artists formula soon.

That's amazing. Can't wait.


The 90's Top Artists will probably have some differences compared to the one Billboard published because they had a different method at that time but Mariah will still be the Top Artist for sure.

I had no idea Santana had the 12th-best-selling album of the 1970s! And Supernatural was released in June 1999, so it could have also held a significantly higher position on the decade-end album chart.

Hi Bro, 

I hope that you could do a Hot 100 artists, Billboard Top 200 album artists and overall Top 100 (albums & singles combined) from the 60s to 2010s if it is possible. I know that it's a lot of work for you so much thanks to your kind self if it can actually be done. 

Much appreciated.
