| Posted on 12/09/2010 04:05:00 PM ET |
Janet Jackson has landed a couple of spots on Billboard's 2010 Year End Charts, which came out this week and ranks the most popular artists, songs and albums of the year.
She charted at the following positions:
- Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists: #43 (four charted titles)
- Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums: #48 (Number Ones)
- Hot Dance Club Play Artists: #22 (one charted title)
- Hot Dance Club Play Songs: #13 ("Make Me")
Billboard's year-end music recaps are based on chart performance during the chart year that began with last year's Dec. 5 issue and ended with the Nov. 27, 2010, issue. The year-end Top Artists list ranks the best-performing acts of the year derived from activity on two charts: the Billboard 200 albums tally and the Billboard Hot 100 singles list. |
