cant go by how many albums have sold. artists these days, sales are based on downloads and most people don't download or buy actual media full cd's, albums anymore.
need base it on a current artist if you want lots of $$$ on location. the most people that drop money in games are ages 4 to 25. run dmc, beasties, etc fan base majority is over 40. Stern missed the boat on eminem when he was in his prime and kid rock as well.
DRAKE holds the record for the most streamed music in a week with 250 million in the USA alone. more than any other artist of all time. that is the pin that should be made. Drake, rihanna or nicki minaj. Drake is a pop icon and has been in control of the music industry for 10 years. whether he is on the hook or main character in the song, He makes hit after hit.
an URbaN pin needs be made. Rock is not popular anymore, even classic rock stations are thinning out. No rock station is number 1 in any major market with Rock from any decade. Urban music controls the mainstream. vh1 is nearly an all urban channel now, so is mtv. times have changed. urban and digital artists (edm) is where its at. they sell more than any other music style these days and have for many years.
