Billboard explains the list and order was obtained by, “Using a formula blending all titles tallied on both the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (since its inception on Aug. 4, 1958) and the Billboard 200 albums chart (since it became a combined stereo/mono survey on Aug. 17, 1963), we assembled a list of music’s all-time top artists.”

Tons of big names made the cut, including Prince, Eminem, Adele, and Beyonce. Topping the list at number 1 is The Beatles. Rounding out the Top 10 is Rolling Stones, Elton John, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder, and Chicago.

See the entire list on the Billboard website.
