Dre produced many of Snoop Dogg’s hits, but MARIAH doesn’t account for that. In the same vein, producers are not awarded points - for example, Dr. This means artists like Drake will have a lower MARIAH score, even though he’s been featured on many Hot 100 songs. We recognize that this takes away from artists who appear heavily as features, but we want to emphasize the star power of the artists who lead a track.
For each song’s run, the Whitburn Project notes how many weeks the song was on the chart overall, in the top 40, in the top 10 and at their peak or highest position on the chart. For example, Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” typically gets a separate run each year because it’s usually over nine months between appearances on the chart. To address this, the Whitburn Project measures each song’s “run” on the chart as one consecutive run when the song’s last appearance on the chart was less than 273 days (or about nine months) ago. Some songs have appeared on the Hot 100 multiple times, separated by at least a week. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem took the stage, with special appearances by 50 Cent and Anderson. So now that we have a somewhat objective way to rank performers, which Super Bowl was the most star-studded? 6 Based on MARIAH, the winner is Super Bowl LVI, when Dr. 5įinally, to get an artist’s total MARIAH score, we added up each of their songs’ MARIAH scores. The same also applies to performing groups whose members have hitmaking solo careers. For example, Paul McCartney gets one-third credit for the Beatles songs that charted. Similar to our methodology from 2019, we gave partial credit (one-third) to halftime performers who are associated with groups that also had hits.
#PAST YEARS SUPERBOWL SCORE FULL#
That means that charts since the year of the incorporation of streaming were weighted at 80 percent, while charts from before then were given their full value.
Given how streaming has changed how listeners engage with music - and therefore, their listening trends as measured by the chart - we slightly penalized songs that first reached their peak in the charts in 2007 or later ( digital streams were considered in the Billboard Hot 100 after July 2007). 1 slot received an extra weighting of 15. We gave an extra boost in weight to songs according to how highly they charted: Songs in the top 40 got an extra weighting of 2, songs in the top 10 got an extra weighting of 5, songs in the top two to five slots got an extra weighting of 10 and songs in the No. For the base point totals, we calculated the natural log of the number of weeks that a song (1) appeared on the Hot 100 chart, (2) appeared in the top 40, (3) appeared in the top 10 and (4) appeared at its peak position. In a big shift from the 2019 analysis, we considered only the artists listed on a track at equal billing - no featured artists. Artists gain points for each “run” of each of their songs that appears in the Billboard Hot 100. Here’s how we calculated our MARIAH score: To retain viewership, halftime shows have been extremely star-studded ever since. We narrowed our focus to analyzing halftime performances since 1993, when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, changed the show forever, giving it a shot in the arm after a steep loss of viewers during the previous year’s halftime show. First, let’s break down how MARIAH works. Then we used that metric to analyze Super Bowl halftime performers, performances and career arcs.īut we’ll get to all that in a bit. Should a song with a 90-week run score bonus points for its endurance on the chart, compared with a song that charted for only a couple weeks? We think so. Our main goal with MARIAH is to give artists credit for songs that land on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with extra kudos for a song’s staying power. Maybe she’d make an appearance if the Super Bowl were set a couple months earlier, during the holidays.) (Remarkably, despite her high MARIAH score, she’s never performed at the Super Bowl halftime show. It’s named after the queen of the Hot 100, Mariah Carey, who ranks No. Well, we’re bringing back the Billboard Hot 100 this year, but we’re also introducing a new metric: MARIAH, or the Metric for Appraising Records, Indexed to Analyze Halftimes. One in 5 Americans who planned to watch last year’s Super Bowl said that halftime is their favorite part of the broadcast, so we’re not alone here!)įor our avid readers, you may remember FiveThirtyEight’s 2019 article on Super Bowl halftime shows, where we ranked the star power of performers according to their success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Super Bowl LVII is two days away, can you believe it? While most of you will be watching the actual football going on, some of us will be keeping a closer eye on where the action really is - the halftime show! (Just kidding … mostly.
