Music Artist that Have Never Released a Good Album

The Top Ten
1 David Bowie David Robert Jones, known professionally as David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016) was an English singer born in London, the son of a fundraiser and a waitress. He is credited for his experimental and creative musical discography which has won praise and accolades for many critics and fans. The man who the world knew as David Bowie was an actor, a painter, a philosopher, and many other things. But first and foremost, and what he was known for most, he was a rock star, covering every genre from psychedelic folk to industrial. His influence on fashion, music, and pop culture in general remains as his legacy--along, of course, with his unforgettable music.

Just to let people know this is high on this list because of spam voting which is just pathetic.

What!?! David Bowie shouldn't be on this list.

Terrible voice.

2 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009. He is also known for many hit singles, such as "Kiss Kiss", "Run It!", "Forever", "Deuces", "Look At Me Now", "Loyal", "Ayo", and "Back to Sleep".

Correct, he has never released a good album at all. Every song of his is utter garbage.

Never in the million years.

He should be higher

3 Beyonce Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from 1999 to 2004. After they broke up in 2006, Beyonce pursued her solo career, creating smash hits such as "Crazy In Love", "Single Ladies", "Halo", "Partition", "Irreplaceable", "Drunk In Love", "Baby Boy", "Beautiful Liar", "7/11", and "Run The World (Girls)", and has since become one of the most influential performers and biggest celebrities of the 21st century.

Her old albums were the reason she became popular in the first place, and Lemonade was a good album

Wha- Okay, no, listen to Lemonade right now if you haven't.

Her first 3 albums and Lemonade exists so...

Lemonade was a great album.

4 6ix9ine Daniel Hernandez, known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69 or simply Tekashi, is an American rapper. He is mostly known for his legal issues, particularly his sexual crimes.

In 2015, Hernandez pleaded guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. However, he denied having any sexual contact with the girl. On February 1, 2019, he pleaded guilty to charges... read more

All of his albums are bad.

5 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

I'm just waiting for the pop elitists to invade this list and write comments like "Oh but these are good music artists who released good albums you're uneducated if you don't like them" - NikBrusk

She hasn't released good albums, but she hasn't released albums that are packed to the brim with trash. On each album, there is one or two great songs.

No, Pink Friday was a good album, I know she is a crazed twerk ghetto trash but I do admit that album was good.

Just like I predicted, the pop elitists are here. Oh boy this is gonna be painful. - NikBrusk

6 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

"The Fame Monster", and "The Fame" were good...

She has a lot of good albums.

Artpop was good

7 Tyga Micheal Ray Stevenson, known by his stage name Tyga, is an American hip hop recording artist. In 2011, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records.

Everything he made is literally a negative-star rating...except for Gucci Snakes which was saved by Desiigner.

Obviously, because he's one of the worst rappers ever.

8 Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American rapper and songwriter. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg ...read more.

Aside from a few great guest verses he never does great on his own

9 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. After that Miley had numerous worldwide hits, such as ''Party in the USA'', '' We Can’t Stop'', and ''Wrecking Ball''. On December 23, 2018 she got married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, but they divorced shortly after.

Wrecking Balls's video was of her swinging naked from a wrecking ball. Suprise, suprise. Most of the songs from Bangerz are about sex. She is an annoying Disney Channel actress turned pop star who sings inappropriate songs that are worse than that of 'Stupid Hoe' Nicki Minaj. I mean, at least Nicki doesn't have an annoying voice. And that hairstyle. My God…

Bangerz was good, her incoming album seems good, honestly you guys are overacting because the only tragic album she had was Miley Cyrus and her dead petz.

Fair enough, haven't heard a good one from her so...

Plastic Hearts is a good album.

10 Blood on the Dance Floor Blood on the Dance Floor was an American electronic music group from Orlando, Florida, originally consisting of Dahvie Vanity and several other members over time. The group formed in 2006, with former members including Jayy Von Monroe (2009–2016) and Garrett Ecstasy (2009), all of whom provided vocals for the project... read more

Have they even released a good album or even a good song? All of their songs are garbage and suck. They are the worst music artists ever, they never have any listenable songs. Justin Bieber is way better than BOTDF.

Um...guys? I don't really like Nicki Minaj and her albums are not great as whole albums, but BOTDF has never made a good SONG.

Should be number 1, I hate this so called band with burning passion. I am glad they disbanded.

The Contenders
11 Future

He ruins every song he's in, and even his songs are absolutely horrendous.

His albums are terrible at best

I am offended.

Purpose was a great album though! Even if the singles sucked, it was still good! But I hate him

This boy cannot sing and does it only for the money. He does not care about his fans at all.

End Social Media forever. Social media invented the Justin Bieber hate crime.

Katy Perry just isn't a very good artist, but she has some passable songs. "Witness" sucked hard though.

Her first two albums were good, the third was good as well, only Whitness was bad.

16 Travis Scott Jacques Webster, better known by his stage name Travis Scott, is an American hip hop recording artist, record producer and musician from Houston, Texas.

He is best known for his debut single "Watch Me", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, he is also known for murdering his cousin and is currently in prison.

I don't even think he even released one album. At least his real name is kind of cool.

Did he even release an album? If so, it's guaranteed to be trash.

Silento isn't an artist he's just garbage.

19 Ke$ha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. Kesha is an animal rights activist and she works for H.S.I. (Humane Society International). Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America

I think so. Her old stuff is annoying and horrible. I know everyone likes it, but Rainbow is a horrible album to me.

Get her off the list! She's awesome!

He then joined the band in 1970, suggested "Queen" as a new band name, and adopted his familiar stage name. John Deacon was also recruited to complete the line-up. ...read more.

To be honest, I rather listen to their greatest hits albums and more underrated songs rather than their studio albums. Not that all their studio albums are bad though

Stupid trolls.

Sgt. Peppers is iconic and good for the most part, but I don't really like Good Morning Good Morning. Abbey Road is great, if it wasn't for that hidden track though. Some of their albums have a bit of filler, but aren't too bad
