Xtina has over 2k points based on my calculations! Higher than her late 90's/early 00's peers! Justin Timberlake's a close 2nd! 

[Galaxy]

Girl nobody got time for that

[Achilles.]

I'm afraid your threshold is far too low because Taylor flies past 2000 points just with awards alone.

 

 

Grammy wins: 14x30= 420

Grammy noms: 44x10= 440

VMA wins: 30x20= 600

AMA wins: 40x15= 600

Billboard wins: 49x15= 735

= 2,795

 

Being the most awarded artist in the history of three of these four awards makes that pretty easy.  

[Triton]

Beyonce reaches that with just her Grammy stats and #1s

And then her chart Tayrrorism just continues the streak…

 

12 #1 songs: 600 points

24 top 5 peaks: 600 points

23 top 10 peaks 345 points

36 weeks at #1: 180 points

1725 points

 

 

14 #1 albums: 1050 points 

1 top 5 album: 40 points

11 total studio albums: 220 points 

1 diamond album: 100 points

9 multi platinum albums: 450 points 

1 platinum album: 25 points

1885 points
 

3 stadium tours: 300 points

3 arena tours: 150 points

7 Grammy performances: 175 points

625 points

 

4 Billboard Artist of the Year wins: 400 points

At least 118 Guinness World Records, more unconfirmed: 5900 points 

6300 points

 

2795+1725+1885+625+6300 = 13,330 points (you can't make that up )

 

With, at worst 40 more points from a new top 5 album next week 

 

[Touchdown]

oop Mariah clears easily.

[Assassin]

Why did op change from 2k to 6k?

Also this is waaaaay too much maths and research for me.

[DevilsRollTheDice]

I love this in theory but very difficult to do in practice. Someone do all the pop girls so we can see high much higher Taylor is than the rest

 

 

Thanks to the good sis @wastedpotentialfor doing Tay. Swifties are as meticulous as our Supreme Leader

[RideOrDie]

[Wicked]

that's a lot of specific math and data research but I'm pretty sure Prince reaches.

I'm pretty sure all the permanent A-Listers reach it.

[Punky Rooster]

Top 10 and Top 5s in the streaming era should be valued a lot lower than those achieved before it, especially when the majority only chart for a week and then leave the top 100 after a week

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

[poki]

[tost1]
