This week we saw Billboard release a very special chart that is well worth a look. They just announced their Artist of the Year chart! This is the end all be all when it comes to charts recognizing artists work this year and we see some huge names at the top, not surprisingly.
Ed Sheeran takes the top spot after a quiet 2016. He released a new album that was huge with multiple big hits, his most recent being “Perfect.” After that we see a ton of hip-hop and R&B stars like Bruno Mars, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd. It was a great year for those two musical genres as you can tell.
Outside of the top five we see The Chainsmokers, Justin Bieber, Future, Shawn Mendes and BTS. Take a look below for a listed out top 10…
