Drake ended 2018 with the #1 song of the year with “God’s Plan” and the #2 album with Scorpion. In all, he landed eight songs in the year-end Hot 100 and an incredible SIX albums on the chart’s 200 best sellers of the year. 

Taylor Swift’s reputation was the #1 album of the year and her 1989 showed up at #82. It wasn’t a good singles year for Swift though, with only Delicate cracking the Hot 100 chart at #24. 

Cardi B earned seven spots on the Hot 100 and one on the Billboard 200 with her debut album Invasion of Privacy. Post Malone popped six times; four songs and two albums. He is the only artist to have two albums in the year-end top 10 with beerbongs & bentleys (#3) and Stoney (#8).

Drake, Cardi B and Post Malone all earned two spots in the Hot 100 top 10.
