I thought it'd be interesting to look at who was most impacted by ACR this year. I took JulianT's estimated non-ACR chart and compared it to the official chart. The way I decided to go about it is by counting up how many times each performer had a #1, a top 5 spot, or a top 10 spot. Artists who got more weeks in each bracket because of ACR, I'm calling the biggest gainers. Artists who would've had more weeks in each bracket if ACR didn't exist, I'm calling the biggest losers

 

#1s biggest gainers

1. Beyonce +2

2. Benson Boone +1

3. Gigi Perez +1

4. Gracie Abrams +1

 

#1s biggest losers

1. Noah Kahan -3

ACR gave Gracie Abrams +8 weeks top 5? Maybe we do need rid of it /s

But it did give Kendrick more weeks top 10... :D

Love this list!

Thanks for compiling! By my reckoning, Alexa's roster of Christmas exclusives from 2019 onwards have now gained a total of 21 weeks in the Top 10 due to ACR, as none of them would have got there without it!

I think it’s moreso Christmas ACR and her having the last non Christmas #1. It’s not majorly benefitted her other than December and all Christmas songs being on ACR.

That didn't help, but half the weeks were caused by ILYIS having 4 weeks in the top 5 in an ACR chart but 0 in the non-ACR chart
