Most uniamously agree the top five can't be debated especially given what mojo accurately described why Madonna is the queen of pop, whitney Houston is the standard of female vocalists.
Why both Michael Jackson and Prince actually broke ground for artists of color at a time when it was known for black artists to be only marketed in black Music genres which led in 1977 at the signing of Warner bros, a 19 year old Prince boldly demanding to not make him black. Which shocked everybody that he knew what they were gonna do and he wasn't having it.
The top ten is
#1 Michael Jackson
#2 Prince
#3 Sir Elton John
#4 Whitney Houston
#5 Madonna
#6 Beyonce
#7 Frank Sinatra
#8 Lady gaga
#9 Janet Jackson
#10 Britney spears
I can see the debate on Britney being below Lady gaga like watch mojo said she debuted in 2008 but helped bring electro pop and being avant garden and weird and outlandish normal.
Then taking the movie world by storm..
Then Beyonce brought back cohesive albums that covered social justice issues prevalent in the black community..
Enjoy the debate.
