Either "Second Helpings" or the later budget "Platinum Collection" (when Warners went mad with cheap back catalogue compilations of all their roster) are a great starting place. For me, obviously, the first three albums are close to perfect with barely a filler between them, but avoid the 2CD "Very Best Of" with the black/green sleeve as the sound is a bit crap and often mp3 sourced.
Actually, I personally didn't like that bonus multiplier that much but since I started that way with albums I finished it that way. It will simply be the total number of points. If an artist is someone's #1 all-time (40 points) why penalize that artist just because a couple/few people rank a different artist lower on their ranks but the points happen to add up to the that 40, for example. Basically, I feel like breaking the ties like that devalues the idea of ranking your artists/albums/etc.

I don't know much of Miguel's material at all, but I love 'Pineapple Skies' so will definitely have to try him out. Yeah I see what you mean - I just thought I'd ask as I realised I didn't know. Really looking forward to seeing how it all pans out now...
Oh I’m intrigued to give Maggie lindemann a listen and also feel confident that Miguel will be one of the Top 10 sexiest men in the thousands of artists we’re gonna see in this rate.
Yas the Maggie Lindemann stanning. Pretty Girl was such a hit but for some reason radio didn't take to Obsessed, which is criminal because it's such a straight up bop. She's like a mixture between Camila Cabello and Selena Gomez.
God, just seeing OLIVIA in the post gave me chills, what a woman! If you like weird-ass songs you should check her earlier works and if you like something more streamlined than her later songs for NANA are amazing. Funnily enough, I was basically choosing between her and Tsuchiya Anna to be included in my list, dddd.

Ever since I entered I was waiting to realize I forgot someone and last night it hit me...Whitney Houston oops lol. Oh well I assume she’ll be well-represented.
Speaking of artists we forgot to put on our list, I just realized that I forgot to include Indila - how on earth did that happen!? She would've probably been in my top 30 or top 20. I talked more about her in the French Divas rate, so let me just quote myself: So mad that I totally forgot about her..
