Billboard releases top ten artists of all time list

[NatiboyB]

fukk that list what are y’all list I don’t care about no cac magazine and yep R Kelly is on it

 

[get these nets]

I think this is about sales too. Has to be for Rihanna to be on this list.

I thought it might be sales, but then why is MJ so low on the list and where are The Eagles?

 

[Rell84shots]

How Michael Jackson ain’t 1 or 2

These are the same people that didn't have Pac on the top 10 rappers of all time list, yet had Lil Wayne on it.

 

[ciubaca]

Did they rly put Janet over MJ? I know these lists are made for publicity and are intended to piss ppl off...but still

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Elton John at no time in history was ever a bigger pop star than the Jackson’s or cracker ass Elvis if we are being real. shyt Prince was way bigger too. The Top 5 being damn near all white is a damn slap in the face.

Pretty fukking much

 

[General Mills]

Bullshyt. I grew up in the 80’s. No way in hell is MJ not number one.

I can’t really speak on Elvis or the Beatles. But I know for damn sure MJ was bigger than fukking Madonna.

Elton John at no time in history was ever a bigger pop star than the Jackson’s or cracker ass Elvis if we are being real. shyt Prince was way bigger too. The Top 5 being damn near all white is a damn slap in the face.

yeah disgusting
especially Elvis' culture vulture ass

 

[The_Sheff]

How is Prince not on the list and Michael Jackson should be no less than 2, and im side eying the damn 2.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Michael Jackson at 8? nikka what? I love Janet and she def deserves to be on this list but over Michael? Nah. Michael shouldn't be below 3. Honestly I would have him 1 but I can see Stevie being placed higher.

I was talking to my wife about this. Stevie is the last black legend we have left. Not just black hes a musical legend period. He transcends race and music

 

[Vandelay]

Peep how the top 5 are white and the bottom 5 are black...they don't even be trying...

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

Y’all saying “should” like it’s not LITERALLY Billboard the folks who keep track of who’s selling how much

 

[nairdas]

I don't know what's going on with the downplaying of Michael lately when it comes to these music lists, but it needs to STOP. After that Rolling Stones top 500 songs of all time, I was fukking done.

 

[keond]

How the fukk is Mike not number one let alone top 5 boy had more swag and style than all of the Beatles combined FOH

And he owned their music

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

They put Janet just above Michael. They definitely make these lists to get the puters putin

Shows you why Billboard Hot 100/ pure sales is not always the best indicator of what song is truly popular or long lasting


Case in point: Thriller (the song, not the album) by Michael Jackson never went #1 on the hot 100.

But it's one of the most popular songs in history.


Case 2: many older people, including Mariah Carey fans, often say they don't even remember her early hits, or remember hearing them even when they came out. It's mostly her 95 stuff onwards that most people remember.
