Top 10 Artists with at Least 8 Top Ten Hit Songs in Austria in the 2010s

What does a music artist need to truly be more than just a one-hit wonder, more than a current trend that will soon be forgotten? Right, a whole bunch of hits.

There are many musicians with one or two well-known songs, maybe even a number 1 hit, who never deliver anything to maintain that success. Of course, only songs can't measure the full impact of an artist. Albums are important as well. Some of the decade's most famous musicians have extremely strong album sales, while their singles rarely rank highly on the charts. But for most music celebrities, high chart positions of their songs indicate the scale of their popularity.

So, let's take a look at artists with an outstanding number of top ten hits on the Austrian charts in this decade. For my list, I compiled every top ten hit of the respective artist first charting in the 2010s on the Austrian Ö3 Charts, with them credited as either the main artist or a featured guest. I decided to include the latter, as many songs became popular specifically due to the featured musician's participation, and often their contribution is equal to or even greater than the main artist's.

What does not count is if the artist is otherwise involved in a song (for example, as a songwriter). Also, groups and solo projects of individual members count as two separate discographies. If the lead singer of a band had 4 solo top ten hits and 4 with the band, they wouldn't qualify for the list. Charity projects are a special case. They will appear in the listing of the hits, but to be included on the list, the artist must have had at least 8 top ten hits without that song.

It is completely irrelevant for this list if the artist also had top ten hits before or after the 2010s. This list is only to demonstrate their impact in the specific decade of the 2010s.
