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 released the album Thriller, which has sold more copies than any other album ever.

Madonna. The only one there ever was and the only one who truly deserves to be the Queen of Pop.

The most famous king of this music.
I think it's stupid that The Beatles are not the first. These guys are the best band in music history. They made a revolution in music!
The Beatles were the forefathers of all the music we hear today.
The Beatles are way better than Britney Spears.
No one has ever been as good as Aretha and will never be. We should start calling her the queen of music overall, not only one genre. R.I.P.
They really are the Metal Gods.
Shania Twain's albums have sold into the millions, and she brought country music to the forefront again. She definitely is the Queen of Country.

She is definitely also a princess of pop, as well as a master of reinvention.
Her voice is easily the most recognizable in music.
She was a member of the vocal trinity (including Celine Dion and Mariah Carey), and she stood out to the sky. R.I.P. (1964-2012).
Wilfred "Will" Downing is an American singer and songwriter. He is married to singer Audrey Wheeler, who was a member of the R&B group Unlimited Touch. I like this one the best, and he really is the prince of sophisticated soul.
Absolutely the king and god of hip-hop, right up there in the same category as Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley.
Eminem transcended his king of rap status years ago to attain his undisputed status as the rap god. Simply put, he's the greatest of all time and is unmatched by any other lyrically.
He is the absolute best and definitely deserves to be the Prince of Pop.
Michael Jackson himself called Justin Timberlake the Prince of Pop, so yeah.
Charles Michael "Chuck" Schuldiner (1967-2001) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known as the founder and vocalist, guitarist and bassist of the American heavy metal band Death.

Death was the best death metal band ever. They created the genre! R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner.
The only singer to have number-one hits in each of the past six decades. Very successful singer as well as actress.
Ever since Believe (her epic EDM song, which was the first to use autotune and executed it perfectly), she's blown up on top of the world and has gotten so many accolades for it. At over 76, she's the oldest female artist and the only female of such age to have a number-one hit on the charts (Believe).
Oscar winner and the only female at 56 years old to have a #1 hit!
Madonna. How true. Madonna has experimented with nearly all genres of music - successfully. She has reinvented her image and style periodically and successfully.
27? Seriously, I have to laugh. She is one of the greatest and should be in the top 10.
