idk 'bout y'all, but Riri is top 10 off this pic alone

Like him or not his music is a staple & as a music entity you gotta fall in line 💀

Thriller is hands down the greatest pop album oat

Yves not being number 1 is sick

More than half are black artist, as it should be.

Nav with an Adele type push would do Old Town Road numbers

How long are people going to pretend Rihanna is in this discussion all her albums are mid

it ain't about albums b it's the streaming era most casual consumers are bumping the greatest hits playlists

Don’t even say that cause every other nigga on this list is an artist from the goddamn 20s damn near bro. You telling me they couldn’t find someone else to put instead of Rihanna??? Even sliding amy winehouse over here woulda made more sense

Where the hell is Drake then one day it’s he’s the king of the charts next day he don’t even make top 10

Rihanna>Elvis

Carti on his current run deserves a spot.

These lists are intentionally made to make people mad

It’s true but then again I have 0 understanding of what makes Elvis so great supposedly. His music is unlistenable

Tf is a Yves

dont get these niggas started now..

I don't get Rihanna. Someone sell me on her

this isn't opinion based fwiw

Unironically once in a millennium avatar of a musical prophet that literally no one on this list could ever remotely make comparably better music then

Ok now I’m 99% sure the leading criteria of the list is points at #1 on the Hot 100 as the lead artist. Cause Whitney Houston and Rihanna are 9 and 10 on the list and they both have 11 #1s as a lead artist. But I could see Whitney edging out Rihanna due to accumulative points

Meanwhile Stevie has 8 #1s but he’s above both of them so the points might be weighted more because of the form of consumption

tf was the metric used here
