charts discussion Most Dominant Album Artists of Last 25 Years (US)

[iHype.]

A countdown of the top 50 most dominant album artists from 1993-2018 in United States. 

 

How It Was Compiled

This was compiled by using the top 60 selling albums every year (Soundscan) from 1993-2018. The album sales were then converted to a point system. An album selling 1,000,000 copies in a year where 50 albums sold higher ofcourse isn't dominant in its time as selling 1,000,000 in a year where 3 other albums sold higher. Thus each year had a multiplier for points, the multiplier was based on what the #60-selling album sold each year. Thus if one year the #60-selling album sold 500,000 and another year the #60-selling album sold 250,000 the first year would have their sales multiplied under an index of 1.0 compared to 2.0 with the latter. 

 

Pure sales are used for 1993-2014, equivalent album units for 2015-2018.

 

The multiplier per year:

One Direction above NSYNC and Linkin Park 

All of them only had 3 huge albums, then fell off. They're pretty similar, which is why they're in similar range.

 

Maroon 5 being higher than them is an even bigger shock. However it simply comes down to longevity being a winner. Maroon 5 have been moderately successful for like 15 years. The other bands were huge for 3~ years then rapidly declined.

 

Backstreet Boys & Nickelback are above all of them though 

[Chainsmoker]

Taylor will be #1 imo.

I don't think OD's "consistency" in the US is able to match/surpass NSYNC 's huge peak alone.

[Smilers]

This method gives justice to the truly huge albums like 21 and 1989  #1 will be between Taylor or Adele.
