I don't hate on any pop artist and I also don't love any either. But Taylor, her songs always seem better the more you hear it. And her lyrics, you can say about her writing about her exes, but hey, you can't deny that her lyrics has meaning in it. And its not like some pop stars who create songs with lyrics.

Talented, beautiful, successful, inspiring. Taylor is so amazing and such a great role model, and no matter what the haters say, Tay just "shakes it off"! She deserves the spot she has on this list, #1 (as of now)

Ok first off she isAMAZING! I went to her concert in Seattle and I live in Pennsylvania and I have always loved music and I aspire to be famous when I grow up and Taylor if you read this please know I love you and My name is Chloe

The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records ...read more.

One Direction is according to me the best band. Their songs, their music, their quirkiness, their spirits, stage performance, abilities, and their quality for engaging fans...awesome is understating their fabulousness.

One Direction deserves this more than anyone because their voicals are unquie and they are so positive! They NEVER make anyone depressed and always try to light up everybody's world like no one else! SO PLEASE VOTE FOR THE WORLD'S GREATEST BOY BAND OF ALL TIMES! (

One Direction deserves this more than anyone because they always think of others, makes EPIC LENGENDARY music ever since 2010, they're never selfish and always keeps everything positive! WELL DONE ONCE AGAIN MY DEAR LENGENDS! ( X

Wow Taylor swift is number 1 what?! All she does is get a date then break up about the person then complain about that person and make a song. Bronx rocks! Uptown funk most sucseccful song of the year Bruno ROCKS!

Great music I love the song uptown funk and grenade the best.

Why they did not give the credits to Mark Ronson?

4 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

I always never really was a fan of Bieber until Purpose came out. Great album, not one bad song on it and should be number one on best 2015 albums.

Got to admit guys, with hits like "where are you now", "what do you mean", "sorry" and now "love yourself". Justin is on fire this year.

Justin has shown that he is capable of singing songs and rising to the top! I've loved him since 2013!

Justin's where are you now is an awesome song. It has brought him again on numerous charts

Untalented, her voice sucks, songwriting skill is meaningless, plastic.

6 Ed Sheeran Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He sang songs such as The A team and Shape of You. He was born in Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk.

One of the Most Beautiful Voice of the industry! Taylor swift once said herself that the only thing from which she feels jealous is his voice.He has done a lot of struggle for making him stand in this where he is

Ed Sheeran isn't really a pop artist. He's really somewhere in the acoustic area, but I guess he decided to use "shape of you" to hook himself over and get more famous.

Your songs are so AWESOME! I like both of your albums because your vocals and your music always suits! (

This talented guy is at singing than Bieber! DUH! Wake up & listen to Ed instead of Boo Hoo Bieber!

7 Little Mix Little Mix are a British girl group formed in 2011, consisting of members Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson.

They are great! They show lots of passion! They are beautiful girls and one of my favourites songs are Secret Love Song! I also ABSOLUTLEY LOVE hair as it shows the fun dude if them! YOU GO GIRLS!

They are queens, and you're an idiot if you think otherwise.
