M I M I Z 946 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 These all-time rankings are based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 (from its launch on Aug. 4, 1958 through Oct. 10, 2015) and Billboard 200 (from Aug. 17, 1963 — when we combined our two leading pop album album charts for stereo and mono releases into one all-encompassing weekly chart — through Oct. 10, 2015). Titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower rungs earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists are ranked based on the combined point totals, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 or Billboard 200 chart entries. 1 THE BEATLES 2 MADONNA 3 ELTON JOHN 4 ELVIS PRESLEY 5 MARIAH CAREY 6 STEVIE WONDER 7 JANET JACKSON 8 MICHAEL JACKSON 9 WHITNEY HOUSTON 10 THE ROLLING STONES 11 PAUL MCCARTNEY 12 BEE GEES 13 RIHANNA 14 USHER 15 CHICAGO 16 THE SUPREMES 17 DARYL HALL JOHN OATES 18 PRINCE 19 ROD STEWART 20 OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN 21 ARETHA FRANKLIN 22 MARVIN GAYE 23 PHIL COLLINS 24 KATY PERRY 25 BILLY JOEL 26 DIANA ROSS 27 THE 4 SEASONS 28 THE TEMPTATIONS 29 DONNA SUMMER 30 THE BEACH BOYS 31 LIONEL RICHIE 32 NEIL DIAMOND 33 CARPENTERS 34 TAYLOR SWIFT 35 BOYZ II MEN 36 THE JACKSONS 37 CONNIE FRANCIS 38 KENNY ROGERS 39 BEYONCE 40 BRENDA LEE 41 BARBRA STREISAND 42 BRYAN ADAMS 43 CHER 44 MAROON 5 45 GEORGE MICHAEL 46 THE BLACK EYED PEAS 47 BOBBY VINTON 48 JOHN MELLENCAMP 49 THREE DOG NIGHT 50 HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS 51 GLORIA ESTEFAN 52 BON JOVI 53 P!NK 54 CHUBBY CHECKER 55 RAY CHARLES 56 FOREIGNER 57 KOOL & THE GANG 58 RICKY NELSON 59 DURAN DURAN 60 COMMODORES 61 BRUNO MARS 62 EAGLES 63 TLC 64 PAUL ANKA 65 BARRY MANILOW 66 DIONNE WARWICK 67 CHRIS BROWN 68 LADY GAGA 69 GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS 70 HEART 71 NELLY 72 THE EVERLY BROTHERS 73 BOBBY DARIN 74 R.

Bio 23,538 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I thought Neyde would be in there somewhere. I know she didn't have a lot of high charting singles but she sold a lot of albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
