The Artist 100 from Billboard is quite possibly our favorite chart to take a look at every week. It examines the hottest acts in music based on a variety of metrics. This week the top 10 is filled with many stars old and new. And unfortunately, we see Aretha Franklin’s name on the chart after her passing recently. When a star dies, we typically see their music rise to fame one last time and while we love it, we’d rather the star stay here on this earth with us. Take a look below to see how the top 10 shakes out this week…
