Billboard is about to have all the stans going up in a fury and heads rolling as the chart bible has unveiled it’s official Hot 100 Top Artist of All Time, and many of our faves are dominating on the list which is based solely on factual record sales and number one hits.
via Billboard:
As part of Billboard’s celebration of the 60th anniversary of our Hot 100 chart this week, we’re taking a deeper look at some of the biggest artists and singles in the chart’s history. Here, we revisit the ranking’s 100 biggest artists of all-time.
On Aug. 4 1958, Billboard launched the Hot 100, forever changing pop music — or at least how it’s measured. Sixty years later, the chart remains the gold-standard ranking of America’s top songs each week. And while what goes into a hit has changed (bye, bye jukebox play; hello, streaming!), attaining a spot on the list — or better yet, a coveted No. 1 — is still the benchmark to which artists explore, from Ricky Nelson on the first to Drake on the latest. Which brings us to this hottest-of-the-hot list: the 100 most massive artists over the charts six decades.
