Did they include MJ Jackson 5 hits?

That's a completely different artist, technically

All y'all talking crazy angry when this is literally the charts list.

It shows how prone some of y'all are to conspiracies when you talking with certainty that you know what the conspiracy is despite the list not even being subjective.

You are being naive.

Majority of people look at the list and what is their impression? That they are providing their list of greatest performers.

I was aware actually aware of how they graded things when I made my post. I saw the posts in this thread. I stand by my view that they're trying to rewrite history.

It isn't difficult to avoid misleading people.

It's Billboard's top ten artists of all time. Billboard is literally the chart.

I get that but Billboard has tons of boards with varying metrics. Hot 100, Album 200 etc. What the fukk kinda arbitrary nonsense is this based on? I usually can't be too bothered with arguing over lists and shyt but they messed up with that MJ ranking. By no measure of the imagination should he be placed where he is.

Rihanna outsells beyonce every album

Just say you’re a c00n and go

Four other people in the thread already told this to y'all.

I'm a "c00n" for pointing out literal reality.

What are Billboard charts based on?

Radio play from tracking a certain list of some 1000 radio stations, singles sales, and streaming.

It's a song chart so album sales aren't counted, only singles.

Before Nielsen SoundScan, year-end singles charts were calculated by an inverse-point system based solely on a song's performance on the Hot 100 (for example, a song would be given one point for a week spent at position 100, two points for a week spent at position 99 and so forth, up to 100 points for each week spent at number one). Other factors including the total weeks a song spent on the chart and at its peak position were calculated into its year-end total.

After Billboard began obtaining sales and airplay information from Nielsen SoundScan, the year-end charts are now calculated by a very straightforward cumulative total of yearlong sales, streaming, and airplay points. This gives a more accurate picture of any given year's most popular tracks, as the points accrued by one song during its week at number one in March might be less than those accrued by another song reaching number three in January. Songs at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked on the following year's chart as well, as their cumulative points are split between the two chart-years, but often are ranked lower than they would have been had the peak occurred in a single year.

Katy Perry over Beyonce?

 

[I Really Mean It]

James Brown at 83?

This list is starting to anger me.

Yeah, technically, but that body of work is part of why he the best. I could see if he was in the background, but he was the main guy in the group. Gotta count it IMO.

That's another 30 top 100 hits. MJ #1

How was this list generated because it makes no sense. If it’s based on sales, they may actually be right.

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Do or Die not on this list. I reject it.

Shows you why Billboard Hot 100/ pure sales is not always the best indicator of what song is truly popular or long lasting


Case in point: Thriller (the song, not the album) by Michael Jackson never went #1 on the hot 100.

But it's one of the most popular songs in history.


Case 2: many older people, including Mariah Carey fans, often say they don't even remember her early hits, or remember hearing them even when they came out. It's mostly her 95 stuff onwards that most people remember.

My guy everybody remembers Vision of Love & Dreamlover pre 95

No Bobby Brown??

This is why I'm calling BS. In today's time, the trash that's played on the radio? Future will be on this list in the next ten years.

This generation is the generation that elected Donald Trump. I don't trust their streaming choices.

That's why the top half of the list is all white folks.

American society has gotten totally off kilter in the last ten years and that's coloring this list.
