Some observations:
- Black artists dominated 2003. I may have to go back and grab the 1993 chart, because I remember Black artists dominated that year too.
- It's crazy to see the jump OutKast made in the five years between 1998-2003. They still had a presence on the charts as late as 2008 in the form of Andre 3000's feature on John Legend's "Green Light"
- 2Pac's staying power. He had songs on the 1998, 2003, and 2008 charts.
- Slept on artists like Mya having songs on both the 1998 and 2003 charts.
- The longevity of Jay Z seeing he had huge songs in each list except 2023.
- The 2023 chart being dominated by old Christmas songs.
