Madonna #1 yet not even her strongest market

 

[Timber]

Wonder if Beyonce can make it to the top 10. My dream is that she continues the Renaissance and succesfully releases America Has a Problem, then Heated, then then Alien Superstar, then Summer Renaissance.

Katy she’s so relevant

[swissman]

YAS Aretha and Diana!

 

I like that they are adjusting for turnover rates (or whatever they call it) so that these lists don't become dominated by this era where entire albums can chart.

 

I am curious though where Destiny's Child would be if they had included groups too.

 

 

[Richmond]

Cardi being on this list with one album is insane

[littlebodybigheart]

taylor over katy is a surprise

[Klein]

Single poison Taylor Swift being #6 is certainly a surprise. 

[allforyou]

Janet #3  What a LEGEND!

 

Olivia being in the top 10  The Queen of the 70s and 80s

[istan4badgalriri]

Rihanna could've easily been Top 3 if not #2 by now

[Cruel Summer]

 

How closely does this align with the formula that would actually be used for the Billboard all-time charts?

From what I can tell it IS the formula. There's a community of chart-estimators who go off of the formulas from the last H100 GOAT update and have mostly extended the same multipliers since (so really its only data since mid November 2021 that's not 100% guaranteed). 

 

Here's the list of known and estimated point multipliers to keep the different chart-climates equal:

August 4, 1958 - December 27, 1969 x1.7

January 3, 1970 - December 30, 1972: x1.6

January 6, 1973 - December 25, 1976: x2.0

January 1, 1977 - December 29, 1984: x1.6

January 5, 1985 - November 23, 1991: x2.0

November 30, 1991 - March 17, 2012: x1.0

March 24, 2012 - December 28, 2013: x0.9

January 4, 2014 - November 26, 2016: x0.85

December 3, 2016 - December 29, 2018: x0.8

January 5, 2019 - November 14, 2020: x0.75

November 21, 2020 - November 4th, 2021: x0.8

November 11th, 2021 - December 25th, 2021: x0.8 (unofficial)

January 1, 2022 - Present: x0.75 (unofficial)

 

As for the point values for each individual song's place on the H100 when looking at Decade End/All Time charts (before considering multipliers), those have been secretly publicly known for a while nnnn

The way Taylor has jumped from 21st to 15th on the all-artist GOAT list since 2018 and only managed to move from 7th to 6th on the female list in the same time is unfortunate

Thank you for this, super helpful review of how it all works!

Madonna #1  and Taylor, Janet & Whitney 

[Planet Mars]

Madonna, Mariah, Janet and Whitney being in the Top 4 is very significant, because in many ways they are why ATRL exists today.

 

The whole idea of a "pop" girl, the image, the chameleon, the sex symbol/social justice advocate, the high budget videos, massive global tours, melisma and huge gay followings. It all starts with those 4. 

 

They were the first women who came into an industry still dominated by men and carved a lane for themselves and opened the doors for what we see today.

 

You could say it all begins with Diana Ross, and I'd still give her the title of OG pop girl, BUT Madge, Janet, Mariah and Whitney really threw the door open for all of our faves in one way or the other. Every major female artist of the last 30 years has borrowed something from that playbook.

 

Just found their placement very interesting.

[Holiest Dreams]

Imagine my shock when I saw Taylor here given how stans say she has no hits 

[dabunique]

I'm confused why some swifties r tryin to run a narrative when every time she drops an album she has multiple songs chart unlike da Top 4 who didn't benefit from streaming

I am pretty sure it is very small part of her points that come from album tracks charting for few weeks at most. 

Only Anti Hero probably has more points than all of her streaming era album tracks combined.
