The thing about Queen, and many others on the list, is that at the time their songs came out, they weren't as popular or chart topping. They were ahead of their time. However, they had staying power, and remained relevant for far longer than some artists you were surprised about ranking higher, who may have been super popular at the time, but are not as relevant anymore.

[@ricequin]

They were less successful as singles artists but sold loads of albums.

[@RoomieOfficial]

The weird thing is that this is curated from what I understand, loosely based on all kinds of metrics

[@itsdesmos]

Yeah, in that sense it should have a more palatable list. @roomie

[@DaisyElf508]

@RoomieOfficial Yes, when you read how they measured, it is hard to understand their metrics. I wonder how much weight they gave to certain categories, because population sizes consuming music change as well throughout the years.

[@Kinster2]

Queen lost popularity in the US in the 80’s so if this is a US-based list then it makes sense that their showing would be very low. I believe that the most current song played on US radio is Under Pressure (1981). Anything after that goes unplayed on American Radio.

Yes...Queen would be a lot higher

[@autistickakarot]

Paul Mccartney, as a solo artist/with Wings, created some incredible songs. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of them have been forgotten. I think the reason John often overshadows Mccartney in lists these days is due to a few reasons. One is his unfortunate death, john had only just started writing again when he died, and people started to really appreciate in hindsight the stuff he created. But the second and I think biggest reason is because of the media during the 70s, Mccartney post beatles was known as the one who broke up the band, for a long time the media blamed him for the break up. Critics would destroy any attempt he made at becoming a solo artist, criticising him if he tried to experiment and criticising him if he played it too safe. It was only when he made band on the run, a beatle esque album, that they could no longer deny his abilities. Unfortunately, all of the bad press stopped a lot of radio stations from playing his music, as the whole world blamed him for the break up.

[@tylarjackson7928]

I thought John/Yoko were the reason for the break up? Also, I really love Paul McCartney, but he made easily the worst popular Christmas song of all time.

[@autistickakarot]

@@tylarjackson7928 John and George wanted a break from the band. It realistically had little to do with Yoko. John left late 1969, but the first person to announce the break up was Paul in 1970, and the media was all over it. I will not disagree that Paul's Christmas song is bad, but I do still love it because, to me, it encapsulates the Christmas spirit. It is just pure joy and silliness.

[@tylarjackson7928]

@@autistickakarot Oh okay. And yeah, the song has been stuck in my head since typing this, and it put me in a pretty good mood honestly.

[@autistickakarot]

@@tylarjackson7928 Cool. Thanks for enduldging me, I quite enjoy sharing the unless information and unneeded opinions that I carry around.

[@jp3813]

It's b/c of "Imagine" & "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" being the most popular post-Beatles songs from any member of the band. John also had the more intriguing life outside of music. As far as the public was concerned, John's relationship w/ Yoko was what broke up the band. Most people today are unlikely to be concerned about what 70s media thought about Paul.

[@jp3813]

It's crazy that Prince released WAY more singles & albums than MJ, yet the latter still sold more records.

[@veddyveddygood]

[@ricequin]

The problem with doing a Pink Floyd video is that they are hard to assess based on songs given that they were very much an album band and their best work was concept albums that should be viewed as whole works instead of broken in parts. If you were to look at individual songs I’d recommend “Wish You Were Here”, “Comfortably Numb” and “Money”, also “Time” and “Dogs” but my personal favourite is “Echoes” which is a 23 minute masterpiece that took the whole second side of the “Meddle” album. Another song from that album “Fearless “ is one that really makes me feel stronger.

[@tylarjackson7928]

I've only heard a few of their songs, but my favorite by far is "Wish You Were Here". "Another Brick in the Wall' is pretty good too.

[@TomCatwhick.]

What ChatGPT didn't tell you is that with there all times list they will weigh eras different due to songs and albums charting for different average lengths of time due to accessibility of music at the time and how music got consumed and counted for their charts. Basically for singles it better to have been an artist back in the 60's when singles didn't chart for that long and bad to be an artist today (in the late 2010's onward) when huge hits chart forever. However for albums it is better to have been an artist today (mid 2010's onwards) when albums debut at #1 and then fall off pretty quickly and bad back in the 60's when albums took their time climbing up the charts peaking really high for a long time. However any artist can be super high regeardless of any era if they perform amazingly well enough on the charts upon release. Also The Hot 100 has had recurrency rules since the early 90's and the Billboard 200 has rotated recurrency rules in and out and (i believe) since 2008 the Billboard 200 does not have recurrency rules anymore. Older artists only chance to move up the list is through having big iconic albums stick around on the Billboard 200. Also this is extremely US based and you didn't grow up here and weren't alive when these charts started so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know the chart impact of all of the artists.

[@fernandohlima_]

Thank God for your comment. I was about to write almost the same thing. I was kinda gagged when they were surprised by Usher's position on the list. I mean, the man is the most important musician of the 2000s in terms of charts. He might not have the longevity he deserves, but what he did when he was at his peak is impressive. It was a massive hit after a massive hit. And many artists don't have this huge success in terms of charts in America as they have in the world. So, it's difficult to judge based on what we know from the impact they have today. Hot 100, for example, doesn't measure impact for the future. It measures the success of a song or an album at the moment they are released.

[@HeartbeatCN]

The ranking is based on a point system assigning a certain for every week they spent on the two main Billboard Charts. Highest point for every week at #1. All their singles and albums are counted. They also adjusted certain time periods like the 80s when the labels pressured the charts into increasing the chart turnover rate so songs don't spent too much time at number 1, meaning they get more #1 hit songs.

Difficult thing to discuss in modern music because everyone mixes genres now. Many musicians these days even talk about how the entire concept of "the genre" is "dead" because there aren't solid genres anymore and every artist kinda just does whatever they want. The fact that some country charts reject some artists if they aren't "country enough" is really the only exception that exists at all anymore, and even that is pretty much always just based on the artist or lyrics not being in line with the conservative values a lot of country folk hold and not about the musical style.

This list is based on the billboards list of artists based mainly on the chart toppings. This list doesn't mean the success of artists. The successfulness of artists depend on how much people love their music and buy them. Artists who topped the charts so many times have advantage on this list. For example, barbra ranked at no.6 sold only like 100m records while michael jackson sold over 400m record being ranked lower than her. Barbra had tons of albums released most of which appeared on charts, but they didnt sell better for long periods. So it was an advantage for her to appear higher on the list. And also elvis sold more than any solo artist on the list but appeared on the list at 13. Artists like elvis, mj and queen had albums which stood longer on charts and sold more like the beatles who are the most successful.

Roomie is the ultimate channel to watch while eating

My first phoneless concert was Jack White. I was first annoyed, but then realized it's more enjoyable because you don't have a bunch of distractions and phones recording video between you and the artist.

We may argue allot about the ranking, probably due to our confirmation bias, but if you actualy think about it is almost perfectly on point!

Only roomie can go 20 minutes in the video until he introduce himself

Can you make a video only on My Chemical Romance? I feel like they made a difference in music, but they aren’t talked about enough.
