Rolling Stone has compiled data into many, diverse year-end charts. These diversities add or subtract the top two from lists. For example Swift is No.1 in the year’s biggest seller list. Lil Baby is nowhere near the top 10 in this list. In the year’s biggest streamers list Lil Baby is way on top while Swift is no where close to the top 10 in the streaming list.
