It's obviously Taylor Swift.
Adele might be 2nd.
Bookmark me. No one has it on Taylor, she been slaying the BB200 charts since 2010 and on top of that she has like the most entries on Hot 100 + so many top 10 debuts etc. and now on top of everything she smashing on touring and has huge singles...

Taylor will come out with an album in 2017 and it will last until 2019.
Adele might come out with another album in 2018 or 19.
It really is about whether nor not Adele will come out with another album in 2018 so the entire era will be counted.
For now, I can't see Taylor falling that hard next era so
Radio: Katy
Streaming: Rihanna
Albums: Adele
Touring: Beyonce
Overall: Taylor is high in all of those groups so she'll end up getting it

I have a feeling that Drake is gonna continue slaying like he is now for a lomg time. He could definitely end up taking it.

Honestly it's a real toss up right now IMO. Not sure who will get it. I think it's between Adele, Taylor, Drake, and Rihanna. Although if Bruno's next era is huge it could really throw him in contention.

I think Adele or Taylor. It depends how many more albums they each release before the end of the decade too. My guess is Taylor will release at least 2 albums while Adele said she was taking a 5 year break or something, so I give the edge to Taylor.

Taylor is probably leading right now with Rihanna & Katy as a close runner ups.
Adele doesn't put enough material out. Her albums have longevity so she's racked up points there, but she's too weak on the singles front. Regardless on how big her singles are, there 's just not enough of them. She got a Garth Brooks problem.
Beyonce has basically sold the same amount of albums as Rihanna and Katy state side in the 2010s. But she's been crushed on the streaming side and singles sales side. I'm not sure how much Billboard counts touring but it's probably marginal since the 2 last winners (Eminem & Mariah) barely ever toured.

Definitely Adele, if Bruno keeps releasing hits then he might get this decade's artist of BB Hot 100.

Drake has sold more albums than Rihanna so, and Bruno's hits are far bigger than Taylor's and he has more #1s. When it comes to streaming Bruno's last album was released in 2012 & during that time spotify has just started and yet his two albums have +1,8 billion streams on Spotify so it's not just because of UF when his 2010's songs are being streamed including non singles.

Based on those rankings, which I agree with, why isn't Rihanna #1 ?
I feel like she slayed radio, streaming this decade, while still being a major force in digital and albums (since she has 4 albums in the decade) and touring has good numbers in the US.

At people naming these random artist  this is clearly between Taylor or adele. They slay on all fronts. Katy Perry only had one big era with tennage dream, drake didn't get big till this era, rihanna has hits but not much else and Beyonce is lacking on the hot 100 front. I think Taylor will get it if Adele doesn't release again and Taylor does. 1989 is the second or third biggest era this decade since 21.

If we are being honest, Bruno obliterates everyone except for Adele. If she falls off in the next half of this decade, I could see him taking it.
EDIT: Well, I guess I'll put it like this. He could have obliterated.

No
Albums : Taylor >>> Bruno
Singles : Taylor = Bruno
Radio airplay : Taylor = Bruno
Touring : Taylor >>> Bruno
Streaming : Bruno >> Taylor
Social media : Taylor >>> Bruno
I'm not trying to be biased but Taylor is huge in almost every single department.

She is, but I that's why I said Bruno could have. He waits too long in between releases. It's been 6 years and like 2 albums.
I think if he released regularly, he definitely could have.

Don't angry with me but it's still a no. He's far behind in touring and social media. And you seems forgot that Taylor has Fearless and self-titled that did very well this decade too.
