But yeah, looking at the charts, the top 5 artists of the year are really Drake, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande/Sia. The bulk of Adele's success was last yr tbh
Hello was still big early this year and she had When We Were Young and Send My Love afterwards. Not to mention 25 and her tour have been bigger than anything Ariana's done in the past year. Still, this is fan voted. We don't really care about these awards, Selena and Ariana can have it.
No presence in streaming, yet possess the highest streams for a female album in one week. And why would I get upset? I'm too busy laughing that you think Ariana and Selena have been more successful than Beyoncé in 2016, when she has the highest selling 2016 album, has sold 4 million singles in the US alone this year, more than any other female, has the highest rated female album of the year and has the highest grossing female tour of the year.
But yeah, Ariana and Selena had a much better year, right?
