Okay, I think I will go by decades because some of the artists actually were popular repetitively yearly

I guess I will start with the 1950's. We can go to other past decades but I just wanted to start with this one.

These were the top 200 songs of the 1950's decade
Acclaimed Music - The Top 200 Songs from the 1950s

Based on this list these are Top 5 popular artists from this decade

Elvis Presley- He has the most hits out of all of them
Chuck Berry
Jerry Lee Lewis
Little Richard
Ray Charles

The last four do not have the same number of hits from this decade as Elvis but they have more in comparison to the others listed
