So here is how they pick the winners:
The awards will reflect Billboard's chart rankings based on key
fan interactions with music, including album sales and downloads,
track downloads, radio airplay and touring as well as streaming and
social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Vevo, Youtube, Spotify and
other popular online destinations for music.
These
measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data
partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound. The
awards will be based on the reporting period of March 1, 2011
through February 29, 2012. Top artists will be recognized in a
variety of genres, including R&B, Rap, Pop, Country, Rock, Latin
and Alternative.
So I took the same approach win picking my winners. Not all these people are my favorite artists, but I viewed this more as a numbers game...and number wise, Adele owned 2011.
