This special countdown miniseries covers the top 100 artists ranked by annual chart placement, covering the years 2003 to 2024. Artists are ranked by their entire body of work, not 1 song or one album. I actually ranked a total of 211 artists, but I keep it to the top 100 for sake of the countdown.
Here’s numbers 10 through 1. For each artist I picked one song that seemed to be best representative of their work, or otherwise their most popular.
