This thread is to track movement on the chart since October 2015, to present. 

 

"-" indicates I either haven't calculated the artists total, or keep getting an amount completely incorrect.

Yes, I am aware for a few artists they have points higher than the artist above them -- it's because I can't figure out the small point error, and would rather atleast go ahead and put the small incorrect point count then have no point count for them at all.

(+ points) indicates the points gained since the October 2015 revealing. 

 

Drake is the only artist to have debut; also becoming the highest rapper ever.

Other Artists:

Britney Spears - 4,716,578

Justin Bieber - 4,647,208

Adele - 4,410,929

Christina Aguilera - 4,290,078

 

I can also do point totals for artists that didn't make the list since I'm sure people want to know how close/far their faves are from making it. But it might take a minute lol.

 

I'm doing Bieber's point total tonight. It should only be around 4.0-4.5m~ though.

Rihanna is coming for the all time record

Talent keeps winning 

I wonder how Carrie is doing. She's probably alright compared to a lot of other country artists.

All the legends in the top10

JT and Bruno too whew 

Rihanna between Whitney and The Rolling Stones  

Rihanna slaying 

This list is interesting to say the less. Nice to people who haven't been on the Hot 100 in years thriving.

Rihanna, Drake, and Maroon 5.  Plus Justin Timberlake being on the list.  AHH MY ****ING FAVES.  

Rihanna KILLING it  

Queen Katy keeps winning. OKHs lost once again.

They should do Bubbling Under of this list, with at least 25 places. 

 

I didn't expect Usher to be top 15 wow.

@iHype. Hi thank you for the list , how much an era like ANTI bring point? 1 million?

Are you slow? He has only emboldened the artists whom have moved upward in their positions, not those who remain where they are or those who have moved downward in their positions.

What about Adele? I know she has few Hot 100 hits but her 4 #1's were huge.

 

Also between Britney and Christina who is closer to debut?
