Yes, they do. You'll have to sign up for an account but it's an option now.

I think Selena should be at 12.7B when including her stuff with The Scene.

[Fetish for MiMi]

Demi more than Miley??

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

Ariana Grande & Rihanna.

 

 

Drake & Eminem.

 

 

Spoiler

How close is Ed Sheeran to Drake in terms of “Lead artist” credits. What about Post Malone? 

 

These lists are amazing though. Thank you King.

That won't work because Selena Gomez and the Scene is a group while Selena Gomez is a solo act. I didn't add the streams from the group she was a part of for the same reason I didn't add the streams from Destiny's Child to Beyoncè. In other cases like Adam Levine/Maroon 5 and Florence Welch/Florence + the Machine, both acts are credited as groups because that's how they've released most of their music and they've been a part of a group their entire careers. That isn't the case for Selena Gomez.

It's not really comparable, though.

 

As per ChartMasters itself:

 

Quote

A last specificity are artists with side discographies that are accounted for into their CSPC article because of their huge contribution on them.

 

Selena Gomez & The Scene, Beyoncé as part of The Carters, Rod Stewart & The Faces, the Jackson 5 with the Jacksons, etc.

The only reason they're on separate pages is because SG&TS has its own Spotify artist page, but it's disingenuous to argue it shouldn't be counted for her when Billboard itself doesn't make the distinction - and all it takes is to add up the totals of both pages.
