  1. May 16, 2024 · This list answers the questions "what are the best pop music bands, duos, and singing groups of all time?" and "who is the greatest pop artist ever?" Vote below for the 100+ best pop stars based on their music and overall influence, rather than simply their popularity, fame, or number of streams.

    • The Beatles. The Beatles are the band by which nearly everything else in pop music is matched and measured. Their influence on artists who followed their phenomenal career, from 1960 to 1970, is unmeasurable.
    • Elvis Presley. Without Elvis Presley, its hard to imagine how much of what came after in pop and rock music could have happened. He brought rock 'n' roll into American living rooms and became a larger-than-life cultural icon.
    • Elton John. Elton John is the foremost piano player in pop music history. He has released more than 50 top 40 singles, including a phenomenal 38 consecutive top 40 singles from 1972 through 1986.
    • Madonna. Madonna has released 37 top 10 pop hits in the United States, more than any other artist. She also ranks as the top dance artist of all time. Seven of her albums have debuted at No. 1 in the United States, and she is a member of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
    • Rosalía. When Rosalía sings, it feels as if she’s pulling out decades of history from her throat and resurrecting them into thin air. Her vocal tone, the intuitive melismas and rhythmic accents of which were built from training in flamenco for more than a decade, possesses a crystalline nature that in turn awakens emotions deep in the hearts of listeners.
    • Glenn Danzig. While his hardcore-punk contemporaries were ranting about alienation and social ills, the Misfits frontman was crooning about Astro Zombies, infanticide, and teenagers from Mars in a rich, defiantly melodic voice that harked back to his heroes Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, and Roy Orbison (one of the legends he would later write for, along with Johnny Cash).
    • Billie Eilish. Opting for subtlety instead of force or volume, Billie Eilish’s restraint makes the big emotions in her writing all the more intense. After revealing her soul-inflected tone at 14 with “Ocean Eyes,” she’s since mastered the technical elements that now comprise her signature style: controlled slides, delicate vibrato, and breathy texture that has inspired a new generation of pop singers to emulate.
    • Burna Boy. A Nigerian cultural giant, Burna Boy is the ambassador of Afrobeats as a global movement that can feel equally at home climbing the European charts and maintaining a subtle emotional connection with past African genres like highlife.
