Best Artists 2010

This should go pretty fast, since I honestly don't what I could to add to the numbers. So let's just start this thing.

Best Indie Artist 2010:

#10: AK-69 - 49 pts.
#9: MUCC - 55 pts.
#8: NERDHEAD - 55 pts. (The reason why they're #8 is that they only had one song in the Top 10)
#7: Ai Kawashima - 58 pts.
#6: SEEDA - 59 pts.
#5: Golden Bomber 60 pts.

Best of 2010

If you ask yourself who would be the most successful artist or which would be the most successful single in the year 2010 in terms of chart position, then I have the answer for you. I've been going through the charts for every single week throughout the year and made a list with every artist and song that was in the Top 10. 349 songs from 206 artists and 271 songs from 204 artists were represented in the Indie charts. Of course, it would be too much to list them all, so I'm only gonna show the Top 10 of the Top 10. But how was I able to rank them ? Easy. If a song was on #1, it got 10 points. #2 9 points and so on until #10 got 1 point. Example: A song was #1 the first week of its release, then #4 the next week and #8 in the 3rd week before dropping out of the Top 10, it got a total of 20 points.

But enough of that for now. Let's start with the Indie charts, before coming to the Majors.

About

Taury: addicted to coffee, bishies, books, good music, shinsen-radio community, thunder storms, sun, cakes, anime, money; tries to find her way in life, writes when she can, reads when she can, watches shows when she can, finished her master degree and wants to take over the world one day

<3

Linwe: As the resident Drama Queen I see it as my duty to share with the world about all the latest sleep-stealing, social-life consuming, dream invading asian dramas and beautiful beautiful bishies I go completely crazy for (an unfortunate side-effect of my drama addiction). Expect copious amounts of squeeing, ranting and drooling. Outside of asian entertainment, I'm an avid reader of historical and fantasy novels, indie music and all things graphic design.

Guss: Music addict and king of useless wisdom. Though I struggled to get through school, I can tell you that all polar bears are left-handed and that cows do moo in various dialects. \o.O/ But my one true love is music. All kinds of it. I have a collection of over 11k now songs and have to store my cds throughout my place cause they don't fit in one (or two) racks by now. But somehow, I like the indie stuff more than that mainstream crap. Weird. Outside my two addictions I have a third one: football. Yes, football. Not handegg. But I don't go outside too often atm. No time and every time I'm in the outside world, life itself tries to ruin my life. ;; Some may not believe that I was actually born as a happy kid but steadily transformed into a real pessimist. (But I prefer it to be called "realist", cause I have my reasons...) That's all for now o/
