Bey both successful in albums and singles; woohoo!

With the title change, are you indicating that the artists before don't have success in both albums and singles?

And sorry for the buzzkill but how are positions included in this? Specially #1s? We all know an album can spend a million weeks and not hit #1

The rank doesn't only take into account #1's, it also takes into account the longevity of the singles and albums on the charts.

What if you have no #1 singles? Wouldnt that make the dvision infinite?

lol no. I think #10 position is the most balance position.

I don't know that I agree. The lower charting artists on here got the most bang for their buck in terms of album pull compared to how their singles did. It would be interesting to see a ranking of all of these girls by the individual metrics.

This is so flawed.

Madonna has like a million number one singles. I dont see how this is gonna be fair unless you average out th number ones she has in those markets by the amount of singles she released and divide that by the number of albums she's released as well. Because the more albums released the more chances to go #1 and the more chance of being seen as an "album artist". At least the idea was cute.

[Katamari]

so is Beyonce more successful than Alicia

I think the albums component is based on cumulative weeks on the chart in the various markets.

[Jolie's Lips]

[B]12) P!nk

1) #1 Singles in 11 biggest markets / #1 Albums in 11 biggest music markets = 16 / 6 = 2.67
2) Longevity Singles WW since 2003 / longevity Albums WW since 2003 = 4401 / 3476 = 1.27

TOTAL: 2.67 + 1.27 = 3.94

[santos]

So what if you have no #1 albums but they all spend a lot of weeks on the charts? The division by zero would be infinite and that person would be an instant #1. Even tho her albums were longevous

This list encompasses their entire career, it's only longevity that's tracked after 2003...I think
