man i was low-key expecting some of these artists to make it into the top 10 
but then you think about it and its actually pretty fair considering how crowded the music scene is right now...like drake being the tricky one to rank makes sense - his flow and production game are on another level, but at the same time hes also been experimenting with more acoustic stuff lately which could be seen as a departure from his usual style 
i was surprised not to see more of the newer artists though - like rina sawayama or arlo park - they've both been making some amazing music and have a loyal fanbase, but maybe its just me being bias towards underground vibes
anyway i love how this countdown is gonna be interactive so we get to discuss it as it goes down - that sounds like a blast!

anyway, what about Billie Eilish? didn't she slay the game in 2025 with that weirdly amazing album release? 
also, I'm so confused about Benson Boone being compared to Barry Manilow... is he even 40 yet?! 
and can someone pls explain why Chappell Roan's momentum stalled?
