Top Ten Honorific Nicknames In Popular Music
Titles given to music legends to honour their contribution to the music industry.The Top Ten
From rock bottom to number 1. Michael Joseph Jackson broke the barrier of music. He took things too far in a good way. The singer of the Best-Selling Album of all time, The singer who could dance like no other, The singer who not only cares for people, but the world itself. Michael Jackson will stay number 1 not only in the charts, but in our hearts.
He was both a child prodigy from the age of 10 when he performed on the Ed Sullivan show in 1970 and became the best selling artist in the world when he came out with the album Thriller which has sold more albums than any other album ever. How many child prodigies were able to become a huge success once they grew up, not too many. Most do not succeed once they hit puberty. Michael was able to reinvent himself starting with his album "Off the Wall", he then had two more great albums, Thriller and Bad, which had 5 #1 hits from that album.
Was also a child lover (and not in the normal way in the nonce way)
Michael was pure genius. He wrote, he sang, he danced, he choreographed, he produced, he orchestrated, etc, etc. NO ONE else can say that. Unparalleled!
There is only one King... Known across the globe in big cities, tiny villages.. The name Michael Jackson = Legend King of it all...
Ok I Absolutely love britney, and even though I wasn't alive for her reign I heard stories about how everyone wanted to be her ( including guys) and some crazy stuff so I gotta vote for her
Britney was just a A PRINCESS! She really deserves it! That iconic voice is just awesome! Who knows? Maybe when she turns 60, she'll be the QUEEN of pop!
U sound real stupid when Britney copied janet and even mtv honors her as there first icon artist but of course yall can't seem to see that I love Madonna but janet even has her beat u just don't want to acknowledge the truth but over all Britney robotic movement without a flow u xan tell she count her steps yall are full of it and know it she copied janet every move
Britney should be declared as a princess of pop because she really deserve it... After all the controversies that have struck her, people still luvs her...
Madonna. The only one there ever was... And the only one who really deserves to be the Queen Of Pop. Madonna's been around for nearly three decades, sold more than 360 MILLION records worldwithe, and left a legacy that is unmatched by any artist - male, female or band. She writes her own songs, composes her own music, invents her own dance moves, and has innovated the music industry to an extent greater than any other artist's. She's experimented with every genre of music and has had ALL her singles chart on the top of international charts! Long Live The Madonna Mania! Madonna FOREVER! She's irreplaceable, incomparable and inarguably the most talented artist that ever lived, or ever will. We all will die, Madonna will die, but her music will survive the test of time. Queen Of Pop, Queen Of Reinvention, Mistress Of Music, Queen Of Dance, Queen Of Everything Music! Britney, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kesha, Christin Aguilera - all are like her children because they grew up ...more
Madonna is unique. Every so often an artist comes along who is just driven to be the best. Madonna is such an artist. Others may copy but they will never surpass her. Madonna in the beginning just did it herself. She had a vision, an ambition and nothing was going to stop her. No help from the Internet, no downloading, no iTunes. Her early achievements as a worldwide superstar came through selling record to fans who had to treck down to the record store to buy hard copy. No facebk, Twitter etc to advertise, just posters, T.V. and newspapers. Madonna toiled! Today's artists have it on a plate. Yet still Madonna is Queen. Her next album is as eagerly anticipated as any. She has made movies, acted on stage, directed, there is nothing she will not try. As her dad once said " she is an achiever". I, for one, believe there will never be another solo artist like her. She will go 'on and on'. Which other female solo performer can fill stadiums worldwide? Rock on Madonna. There'll will always ...more
Love madonna always have. No one was is or will be capable of surpassing her success. Like the article says most of her promotion was pre-Internet. She did it with a business acumen most people can only dream if and that's what people forget. Music and all that goes with it it's art but above all else it's a business. If you don't sell albums singles and concert tickets you will be forgotten. Madonna never will be.
As far as I'm concerned, there will never be another Material Girl. End of discussion.
This is the NICKNAMES were rating here. Elvis is not my favorite artist, but the "King of Rock and Roll" is like the king of the world.
Most famous king of this music.
More like King of Rockabilly, no?!
Love him and his music forever
I think is stupid that The Beatles are not the first... this guys are the best band in music history, they made a revolution in music!
How is Britney Spears number one? Her singing voice is really annoying. I think Taylor Swift should have been Princess of Pop.
The Beatles were the forefathers of all music we hear today.
The Beatles are way better than Britney Spears.
No one have ever been as good as Aretha and will never be. We should start calling her as Queen of music overall not only one genre(R.I.P)
Arethra had a weird voice and wasnt that good. Whitney Houston is the true queen of soul
Aretha had that voice that just got better when she aged. May the QUEEN R.I.P. She is and will ALWAYS be the Queen of Soul. No one better. Not even Whitney. Whitney is THE VOICE. There’s only ONE Queen of Soul!
Taylor swift is really amazing, and I am falling for her. She is the best country singer ever, no doubt someday she will become the queen of country. I will always support her.
Taylor Swift sings country pop. Not actual country music. It baffles me that she's even on this list
More like Princess of Country Pop.
I love love love taylor Swift
Shania Twain's albums have sold into many millions, and she brought country music to the forefront again. She definitely is the Queen Of Country.
They really are the metal gods.
Her voice inspired many artists. Her voice is instantly recognizable & is stronger than her contemporaries.
She is definitely also a princess of pop, as well as reinvention.
Her voice is easily the most recognizable voice in music.
Definitely, also The Chameleon of Music
The Contenders
I love their music
I like this one the best, and he really is the prince of sophisticated soul.
Absolutely the King/ God of hip-hop right up there in the same category has Tupac Shakur Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley!
Eminem transcended the his 'king of rap' status years ago to attain his undisputed status as the 'rap god'...undeniable and irrevocable facts.
Simply put, he's the g.o.a.t and is unmatched by any other lyrically.
Its actually biggie smalls
Most successful hiphop artist and rap God Eminem
It is only Whitney Houston
Britney uses autotune, so what is she doing on number 1.
I listen to her music a lot, but she just can't sing live.
JT sings so amazing live and on cd. He deserves it.
(I believe it's now president of pop :/)
Michael Jackson himself called Justin Timberlake the Prince of Pop, so yeah
He is the absolute best and definitely deserves to be the prince of pop
He's way too talented and honest not to be
The boss? He can't sing.
Death was the best death metal band ever, they created the genre! R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner
Wow.. I didn't think he would be 11 hell yeah m/
More like the Queen of Artpop
She is queen of pop
SHE IS QUEEN OF POP, NOT MADONNA #BUYARTPOPONITUNES
Only singer to have #1s in each of the past 6 decades. Very successful singer as well as actress.
Oscar Winner, and the only female with 56 years old she have na #1 hit!
Oscar winner, Golden Globe winner, Emmy winner, Grammy winner.
The prince of overrated, annoying, overplayed music.
I think he is more of king of funk.
He deserves it. He is so talent
He is the best
Madonna. How true. Madonna has experimented with nearly all genres of music - successfully. She has reinvented her image and style periodically and successfully.
Madonna is queen that's why I voted for her
27? Seriously I have to laugh she is like one of the greatest should be in top 10
Songbird supreme and queen of rnb
She’s one of the greatest of all time
