Artist Line-Ups (as of July, 2018)

We've had amazing line-ups every year, but maybe you're wondering how they compare?  Well, I did some research. As before, if you see any mistakes please (kindly) let me know (preferably with a link to the correct info).

 2017's cruise had 12 artists, so it's conceivable 2019 may get another (it has 11 now), but there's just no way of knowing. 2016 had 10 artists, and 2018 had 11. Obviously this does not include comedians and actors. Was thinking of adding another column for the Canadian charts? But since none of these are Canadian artists (I don't think?), I wouldn't expect a huge uptick anywhere.

However, the list of top 40 hits is by no means the only metric of comparison. Grandmaster Flash performed with the Furious 5 and had a #62 Hot 100 hit, and on the R&B charts they charted 8 times. They were inducted into the hall of fame in 2007 and won a Grammy in 2011. Grandmaster Flash had 4 solo singles on the Billboard R&B charts, and was also an innovative DJ (re: scratching, punch-phrasing, and backspin technique). So Billboard Top 40 / Hot 100 is just one way of comparing artists... but in THIS case, doesn't show the bigger picture.
