Emerging
Artists Chart
Relaunches
Effective this issue
(Sept. 2), Billboard has
revamped its Emerging
Artists chart, a breakout of
the overall Billboard Artist
100 that will highlight the
top-performing rising acts
each week. The Emerging
Artists chart will use the
same formula as the Artist
100, which debuted in
2014 and measures artist
activity across Billboard’s
most influential charts,
including the Billboard
Hot 100, Billboard 200 and
Social 50. The methodology
incorporates key metrics
of music consumption,
blending album and
track sales, radio airplay,
streaming and social media
fan interaction to provide
a weekly multidimensional
ranking of artist popularity.
(The former iteration of
Emerging Artists served
as a weekly title-based
ranking of the most shared
songs on Twitter in the
United States by new
artists.)
The Emerging Artists
tally will exclude acts
that have notched a top
25 entry (as a lead act)
on either the Hot 100 or
Billboard 200, as well as
artists who have achieved
two or more top 10s on
Billboard’s main song genre
charts that blend streaming,
airplay and sales and/or
consumption-based album
genre rankings.
Portugal. The Man
(above) tops the first
remodeled Emerging
Artists chart, powered
by its hit single “Feel It
Still,” which reaches a
new peak on the Hot 100
(No. 26). The alt-rock band,
which also makes its first
appearance in the Artist
100’s top 40 (54-36), gains
by 22 percent in activity;
radio airplay is the group’s
greatest points contributor
(31 percent), as “Still” leads
the Alternative Songs chart
for a ninth week.
