Billboard has been releasing a fun chart this year called the “Artist 100” and as the name suggests it features all of the top artists from week to week. The ranking is based on some social media metrics as well as streams and sales. So, artists that have new albums out typically see a big jump on the chart.
On this week’s chart we don’t see a rock band until Imagine Dragons at 11. They’ve been hot on the chart, but are starting to cool off as they move two spots down this week. Metallica is the next highest rock band as they sit at 33 with Rise Against sitting behind them at 34. Let’s take a look at the rest of the rockers inside the top 100: Twenty One Pilots (49), Coldplay (51), Rancid (58), Lorde (95) and Train (96).
