Taylor & Adele gain | Biggest Female US Radio Hitmakers
Inspired by Ady.'s threads that focused on biggest top ten hitmakers of the US and WW, I decided to look at the biggest radio hitmakers for the decade in the US.
The Billboard Radio Songs chart is a measure of the week's most-listened-to songs encompassing all genres (pop, adult pop, rhythmic, country, etc.).
Methodology: All songs that have entered the top ten on the Billboard Radio Songs chart will be tallied. Each song will receive points for every week that they were present in the top ten on that chart.
For solo-led songs (I.e. Rude Boy, Teenage Dream, Mine, etc.)
#1 ... 10 points
#2 ... 9 points
[..]
#9 ... 2 points
#10 .. 1 point
** For collaborations (i.e. Love The Way You Lie, California Gurls, Bottoms Up, etc.)
#1 .. 0.7*10 points = 7 points (for the lead artist), 0.3*10 points = 3 points (for the featured artist)
[.]
** For duo/trios (i.e. Say Something, Good Time, Bang Bang)
#1 .. 0.5*10 points (for duos i.e. Say Something), 0.3*10 points (for trios i.e. Bang Bang)
[.]
** Billboard does the same thing for their year-end charts, so it makes it accurate.
I'll start with 2010 and complete the subsequent years during the rest of the week.
Once all of the years have been done (2010-present), I will tally up all the scores for each year and post the top female radio hitmakers of the decade so far.
Hope you all tune in

The fact that Y&I and DWUW peaked at #12 sucks because they won't count towards Gaga's score nnn
