The Artist 100 comes out every week from Billboard and it features the very best in music. It lays out the top 100 artists of the week and even tells you if they’re trending up or down on the chart. This week, like many others in 2017, we see plenty of R&B and hip-hop artists inside the top 10! There’s so much great music out from these two genres it really doesn’t surprise us.
The number one artist on the chart continues to be Jay Z. That’s a no-brainer if you ask us! But, the list of R&B and hip-hop artists doesn’t stop there. Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled and French Montana all find themselves inside the top 10. Drake, The Weeknd, Rihanna, 21 Savage and Khalid all are within the top 25.
R&B and hip-hop artists that are making big jumps towards the top this week include Gucci Mane (from 57 to 46 this week) and Beyonce (71 to 65).
