The currency of the modern music industry is all over the place. Every streaming service has its own charts, and often multiple (most played vs 'trending'), arbitrary rules of how songs are counted (are they singles or a part of an album), and that's how most of us listen to music. And streaming is king since physical sales and even downloads are disappearing out of our lives. But which streaming platform matters. The Latin sound rules the YouTube platform and then there is variation still between the likes of Spotify and Apple Music and whoever is coming up through the SoundCloud system.

And while the recording industry argues over who has the right to the pennies generated per plays, money is made on live shows. And so it should be of no surprise to you that here at PROMOGOGO the data-dashboard for ticket sales, appreciate hard-working touring artists.

So when ICMP announced a Top 100 list of the year's "hardest working musicians" (granted, ones who chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but still) we knew we'd have to tell you all about it. We'll split this exciting new chart into relevant genres, so you can listen to the custom made playlist in your favourite genre while you see if your hardest artist of choice is coming to a city near you.

Let's start with the genre of POP/ROCK. This is the genre everyone loves to hate, but still secretly knows every lyric to every song. We've got the likes of Harry Styles, Imagine Dragons, the Jonas Brothers and other often overlooked when critics put together end-of-year lists. But man do they sell tickets.

Let the countdown begin.
