The Top 10 Artists of the Week

This week’s Artist 100 chart has been released by Billboard, so of course we’re going to take a look at who ranks where. Last week we saw Jay Z jump on the scene, going from unranked to the number one position. That was not a surprise all things considered, but where does he rank this week?

Well, Jay Z continues to be the top artist this week with Linkin Park making the biggest jump of any artist/band on the chart. They moved to the number four position! Unfortunately this is likely because of the band losing their front man, Chester Bennington, and the positive sales impact a death has on a band’s success.

Let’s take a look at the entire top 10 list shall we?

1. Jay Z
2. Ed Sheeran
3. Bruno Mars
4. Linkin Park
5. Kendrick Lamar
6. Imagine Dragons
7. DJ Khaled
8. Shawn Mendes
9. Justin Bieber
