THE ARTISTS CHART

WELCOME TO THE ARTISTS CHART!!

Welcome to week 3 of this chart, made up from a points system, whichever artist is at no.1 receives 100 points, down to 1 point for no. 100. This chart takes into account both the singles and album charts. If 2 artists feature on 1 song then both artists receive points and in the result of a tie for a place, the artist who has the higher chart position with a song or album will be above the other.
