This is Taylor Swift's 6th time being the #1 female artist of the year, after 2009, 2013, 2015, 2018 & 2020.

She also extends her record for most appearances in the top 3 and top 5 respectively.  

This is also Dua Lipa's and Doja Cat's 3rd consecutive year in the top 5 and also Doja Cat's highest ranking to date.

Crazy that Taylor only missed the top 5 twice since she made an appearance on this chart - once in 2011 and once in 2016

This list is amazing. Thanks

Beyoncé #6 for 2022, 25 years into her career?!  The longevity! It's wild to see her alongside the new artists like this.

It’s one thing for Taylor to be ahead of Adele, but even Doja ahead of Adele?

This is Taylor Swift's 7th time being the #1 female artist of the year. She extends her record for most appearances in the top 3 and top 5 respectively too and also becomes only the 6th female artist to be #1 in consecutive years, after Linda Ronstadt ('77/'78), Donna Summer ('79/'80), Whitney Houston ('86/'87), Mariah Carey ('91/'92) and Adele ('11/'12). 

 

This is also Olivia Rodrigo's 3rd consecutive year in the top 5, Miley Cyrus' 4th appearance in the top 5 & and her first since 2013 and SZA's first time ever in the top 5 too. 

 

2023 also marks Beyoncé's 8th year that she charts on Billboard's year-end top 5, thus tying Rihanna and Madonna's shared records of 2nd most top 5 placements.
