Ohhhh damn, what a great top 3. Truly the biggest artists of the year. 

[beyonceparkwood]

Honestly, a great top 3. Three women dominating 2023. Used to pray for times like this.

[Rev8]

How are they calculating this? by stats?

 

since ..Ice Spice is hella high for stats like those

[CaptainMusic]

Wasn’t Morgan technically bigger than Bey this year (in the U.S)?

 

What a great Top 3 though  

[FightDragonsWithMe]

Women winning 

[Kyoto]

It doesn't make sense that BB said GUTS wasn't a sophomore slump when in 2021 Olivia was the top female, while this year she is only the 6th. Something is not adding up.

[ScorpiosGroove]

it was called the pop star party but there were no pop stars there  

[Taylena]

Interesting how Taylor is the only white women in the top 10 when her success is often diminished because apparently every white women is successful like her.

It is not by stats, as Drake’s stats listed in the article eclipses those of others on the list, yet he is only 10th.

 

This seems to be a ‘vibes’ list rather than a stats based one.

Yeah, how is Drake only at #10? He should be in top 3 objectively speaking. No vibes allowed. 
Taylor #1 obviously 

[Cruel Summer]

Ugh, wow, queen of the universe queening some more just like I knew she would 

[shoganai]

These charts based on the US market only are really ridiculous

[unclefloprry]

#1  was predictable but #3... girl... even Shakira was bigger than her this year.

No

its based on “iconicness”

So just whatever the editor likes.

 

you can see in their articles like ice spice moved 513k album sps across all songs and albums this year and is #4 and Drake moved 8.9m and is #10.
