DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've compiled a list of every week an artist spent in the top 10 in 2015. I plan to do this for each year this decade and merge the data to see which artist has had the most weeks in the top 10 this decade so far. Every song counts as a week. Therefore, if an artist has 2 songs in the top 10, it counts as 2 weeks. I think that's fair. The list contains EVERY artist who was in the Top 10 during the Billboard year of 2015, including feature artists. There's an overall list, a lead list and a feature list. Billboard counts Bruno Mars as a feature on "Uptown Funk" and thankfully counts BeBe Rexha as a featured artist on "Hey Mama" data from Billboard charts dated December 6, 2014 to November 28, 2015 (their 2015 year) -the Billboard year of 2015 was clearly the year of Taylor and the Weeknd. (with Fetty Wap benefitting greatly from streaming, which thank god was reduced last week.) OVERALL WEEKS The Weeknd: 58 Taylor Swift: 57 Fetty Wap: 42 Bruno Mars: 31 Mark Ronson: 31 Maroon 5: 28 Ed Sheeran: 25 Meghan Trainor: 23 Charlie Puth: 19 Wiz Khalifa: 19 Silento: 18 WALK THE MOON: 18 Justin Bieber: 17 Hozier: 16 OMI: 16 Ellie Goulding: 15 Sam Smith: 14 Kendrick Lamar: 13 Remy Boys: 12 Selena Gomez: 12 A$AP Rocky: 11 Adam Levine: 10 DJ Snake: 10 Major Lazer: 10 MO: 10 R.
