I believe Radiohead, Daft Punk and blink.182 deserve to be an option here. Yes, they don’t fit Chartmasters’ criteria and I know there should be limits to avoid an infinite amount of requests, but they’re the only acts that are on the top 200 most listened artist on Spotify and started making music in the XX century, that haven’t been studied or aren’t available on this page. The fact that they’ve managed to mantain their popularity from the 90’s to this day should be an indicator of strong numbers. They were popular during the last years of album sales, then… Read more »

System Of A Down also started making music in the 20th century.

I don’t think it’s a good idea though, for example The Notorious B.I.G.’s streams are much more impressive than Daft Punk’s, they are similar (around 5 billion) but he only made two albums in the mid-90s while Daft Punk had a huge album in 2013 (2.5b streams).

Can you add TWICE too please

tsaotd

I know they won’t be covered cause they didn’t pass the 30m sales mark but between BoA and IU who’s the best selling female soloist in Korea? I know BoA has a huge lead on pure album sales but at the same time IU has another huge lead on digital singles and streaming (I think she sold around 100m digital singles sales alone).

Can you please add Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins, and Nelly Furtado to the list of artists we can vote on? All of them are major artists, each one with a particularly huge album that deserve to be studied! They are also much bigger than several of the artists studied to date including Little Mix, Buffalo Springfield, Macklemore and others. I would also love to see Pussycat Dolls studied (maybe along with Nicole Scherzinger solo career) since there are many debates about whether they were bigger than other girl groups in the last few decades.

To add to this, it would also be great to see Kesha studied. She is the last of the major divas of the 2010s that was never studied.

Kris

Chartmasters set a clear criteria for making the list:

“How do we define these artists? We have set these limits of expected results:

over 50 million CSPC sales
over 30 million CSPC sales for a local artist
over 15 million CSPC sales with a single album”

If they start adding artists that don’t quite meet the criteria like the ones you suggested, they would end up adding dozens if not hundreds more artists to the list.

Are Cream and Derek & the Dominos going to be included in Eric Clapton’s study?

Meca76

I have a request for you. I have a question for you if you are considering there are three ladders? One for male artist,one for female artist and one for the group.
Up to three artists can study this way at the same time, which would mean more chances for many of the studied.
There would certainly be a lot of fans of this site.

Hi Meca76!

To be honest I’m missing the logic there, it’s not because we put 3 distinct ladders that we will start working 3 times faster! ^^’

Looks like Eric Clapton is winning on the leaderboard.
