Each week we like to tell you about who the top artists are according to Billboard, but this week we see now only a chart that recognizes the top artists but does so involving the entire year. They just released their top artists of the year and it’s filled with many great artists. At the top, we see Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Drake. Where are the rockers though?
Even though it was a great year for rock music, the first rocker on the chart is Coldplay who sits at number 11. Not surprisingly, Imagine Dragons comes in at number 14. U2 has had a hot second half of the year and we see them at 18.
Metallica didn’t make it inside the top 20 but almost did! They land at 23 on the chart. Other rock bands on the chart include: Twenty One Pilots (31), Linkin Park (77), Red Hot Chili Peppers (83), Portugal. The Man (89), and John Mayer (92).
