iHype. Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 ProjectBro on PulseMusic estimated the Billboard 200 point system used for their all-time charts which will also be used for their top artists decade-end, instead of raw numbers since they switched to SPS mid decade. The point system weighs chart runs based on average chart fluctuation over the years, just like the Hot 100 Decade-End & All-Time. 1. Drake - 20,628,813 points Views - 5,276,488 points Take Care - 3,055,990 points More Life - 2,784,780 points Scorpion - 2,503,080 points Nothing Was the Same - 2,395,473 points If You're Reading This - 2,303,213 points Thank Me Later - 1,534,619 points What a Time to Be Alive - 1,325,200 * 1/2 points So Far Gone (EP) - 112,570 points 2. Adele - 19,645,261 points 21 - 12,920,729 points 25 - 4,571,685 points 19 - 2,138,375 points iTunes Festival (EP) - 14,472 points 3. Taylor Swift - 18,690,868 points 1989 - 6,591,626 points Red - 3,881,567 points Speak Now - 3,082,733 points Reputation - 2,203,200 points Fearless - 2,169,782 points Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (EP) - 339,223 points Taylor Swift - 296,502 points Speak Now: World Tour Live - 126,237 points 4.

Champion Cynthia Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Omg so Drake Artist of the Decade confirmed Oh well at least Taylor will be female Artist. I wish there was a way to include streaming on the album charts that didn’t basically make it a second singles charts. They should do what the UK did and not count the top 3 streamed tracks for album charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptique Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I wonder if BB will really go in that route cause that would be fvcked up.. 25 selling 3M+ SPS in a week will be having same points with 21 Savage at no.1 with 70k SPS I think that Pure Sales (1st half) plus SPS (2nd half) is more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob.23 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This system is not fair. Adele's 2M sales week is equivalent to a #1 album that sold 50k copies. I know there's no perfect way to measure since they changed methodology, but I think they should just combine sales and SPS together. Otherwise artists with huge debuts (Taylor and Adele) are seriously disadvantaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake has also moved the most album equivalents of any artist this decade in US. Quote 1.

I think Billboard will give more weightage to early decade (2010-2015) considering how they view pure sales having "more value" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They earn very little points. It's all about getting weeks #1, top 10, and top 20. The longest charting album ever, is #31 on the all-time chart despite charting for 931 weeks because it did not spend much of its run in high positions.

Armani? Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Would have expected Beyonce to be top 20 at least.

Planet Mars Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Drake is artist of the decade, it's basically in the bad at this point and it makes sense. No other artist has held the 18-25 demographic like Drake has. Most boys in HS and Uni. love Drake so he also dominates streaming. Adele and Taylor are huge, but they don't have that demographic like Drake does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
