Billboard’s Top 20 Artists of the Year

It looks like a silly joke but it’s true – Taylor Swift beats Beyoncé Knowles and Kanye is also involved. Looks familiar, doesn’t it?

Billboard has announced their annual list of Top Artists of The Year putting together data from album sales figures, Hot 100 and Billboard 200 song rankings from November 2008 through November 2009.

According to the publication, Taylor Swift is the Top Female Artist of the Year, while Kanye West is the Top Male.

Just like I said, Taylor is followed by Beyonce in the Top 10 Female Artists list with Lady GaGa, P!nk, Katy Perry and Britney Spears also making it to the list.

It’s being an unprecedentedly lucky year for Swift who’s won all possible awards including the most prestigious ones, like Artist Of The Year and Entertainer Of The Year. On top of all, she ends the year with 8 Grammy Awards nominations.

Unlike Taylor, it wasn’t the best year for Kanye who actually f***ed up at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards ceremony with consequent cancelation of the sold-out tour and global media making fun of him for weeks. Nevertheless, he’s the top male artist of the year! He can go and celebrate it in his tiny Kanye Kingdom of vanity.
