DancehallMag today launched the DancehallMag Artist 100, a Weekly Chart for Dancehall and Reggae.
The Artist 100 combines several sources so that no single measure decides an artist’s place. These include music streaming data from Spotify, YouTube viewership across each artist’s career and over the most recent three months, input from DancehallMag’s editors, an internal scoring algorithm that assesses each artist’s cultural impact, and votes from fans. Long-running careers and current momentum both count. That way, legends who built the genre, established stars and young artists on the rise can all be measured on the same chart.
“The Artist 100 celebrates artists’ contributions to the genre and recognizes the talent shaping its future,” DancehallMag said. “We want it to be a chart that fans, artists and the industry can trust.”
As with any new chart, the Artist 100 will keep improving over time. DancehallMag will review its methodology regularly, add new artists as the scene grows, and refine how each factor is weighed. The aim is a ranking that stays reliable and fair to every artist.
Fans can take part by rating their favorite artists on their DancehallMag profiles. Fan votes will play a growing role in the chart as more readers join in.
We are now on the path to expanding our tracking and review to thousands of artists, including young artists and rising stars, to help introduce them to the Dancehall and Reggae world.
