Aug 24, 2019I think Chance and OF you’d have to slide at least a tier higher. OF was INSANELY popular for the first third of the decade—and their leftovers (Frank, Tyler, earl) still have huge followings. Chance was a HUGE crossover success even though his new album sucks s---.
NBA youngboy is also massively popular and routinely is the most streamed artist on YouTube in the USA each week (I think he had something like 50+ weeks in a row). He also represents as debatably the first and most successful thug offshoots which is the new wave everyone is hitting.
I think you’d have to slide Kanye on somewhere. Though he’s slid off the last two years, MBDTF/WTT/Yeezus came out this decade and the whole 5 album rollout thing is gonna be a memorable part of the decade if not for the antics alone.
Cardi B def should be on at least tier 2
Wiz was also unfathomably popular early in the decade
--- I’d prob put in tier 2 as well
There’s a lot of criteria so it’s hard to judge for some, also cuz the second half of the decade was so different than the first half.
