PEAK MUSIC 2017

 2017

Because My Sources are shaky (the internet), I am just relying on Wikipedia. I am not positive how Billboard identifies the top hits now but I am assuming radio play is low compared to other genres (because in the next few years I never heard of lot of these artists and the majority of their songs).

I have Ed Sheeren with – 3 top ten hits and 2 number ones including SHAPE OF YOU

Taylor Swift comes in with 2 top 10 hits and 1 number one

Post Malone with 2 top 10 hits and 1 number one

Weeknd with 2 top ten hits and one number one including STARBOY which came out in late 2016

Imagine Dragons with 2 top ten hits including THUNDER

Note  I went off more of my memory for 2017

Despacito was a big international hit
