In regards to Kanye West's high artist ranking, does the formula include songs where he is the featured artist, or is it limited to entries where he is the primary artist?

Blackstar will debut at 180-ish. Lazarus at about 700-ish. Blackstar (Title track) will be 1800ish. I Can't Give Everything Away will be roughly 2500.

I'll be honest, I'm not a country fan, but I am glad that "Hurt" is quite high on the list. A little disappointed it didn't top the list (that Alan Jackson song isn't that great). And let's be honest: "Not Ready to Make Nice" is a better Dixie Chicks song, but there's no way CMT ...

Hmm...that got me wondering what would be the highest-rated "one hit wonder" albums (by artists who have only one album in the top 3000). It is worth noting that some of these (the most obvious example being Kendrick Lamar) will have more than one album in the top 3000 when the site is upd...
