“Billboard” has named Lady Gaga as its Top Artist of the Year. Just last year, Gaga was “Billboard’s” New Artist of the Year.
Like every list “Billboard” puts out, this was not subjective. The Top Artist of the Year is determined by performance on two charts: The Billboard 200 albums list, and the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

1.)  Lady Gaga

2.)  Taylor Swift

3.)  Eminem

4.)  Lady Antebellum

5.)  Ke$ha

6.)  Usher

7.)  The Black Eyed Peas

8.)  Justin Bieber

9.)  Rihanna
