The Greatest Music Artists of all time
Greatest Music Aritsts: The Debate • With any discussion of the greatest music artists of all time comes debate. • Tastes and definitions of “greatest” vary between people, and so we’ll break down the different methods used to determine who the greatest music artist really is.
Greatest Music Artists: Sales • Unlike other marks of success, sales are quantifiable. • If we base our list of the greatest music artists on record sales, it looks like this: • The Beatles • Elvis Presley • Michael Jackson • Madonna • Elton John
Greatest Music Artists: Hits • Another metric used to determine the greatest music artists is the number of number one hits they had on the charts. • Here are the artists with the most number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100: • The Beatles • Mariah Carey • Michael Jackson • Rihanna • Madonna
Greatest Music Artists: Tours • By looking at the artists who have the highest-grossing tours of all time, we can determine the greatest music artists in yet another way: • U2 • The Rolling Stones • Roger Waters • AC/DC • Madonna
Greatest Music Artists: Grammys • An artist’s total number of Grammys is also a measurable way to determine if they are one of the greatest music artists: • Sir Georg Solti • Quincy Jones (tie) • Alison Krauss (tie) • Pierre Boulez • Vladimir Horowitz
Greatest Music Artists: Bestselling Albums • As music was primarily and album-based medium in the 20th century, having one of the bestselling albums certainly qualifies you as one of the greatest music artists. • Michael Jackson: Thriller • Led Zeppelin: IV • Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon • Fleetwood Mac: Rumors • Blondie: Parallel Lines
Greatest Music Artists: Platinum Albums • Unlike merely having a ton of net sales, releasing the most platinum albums means that your music is consistently popular. Here are the greatest music artists in terms of number of platinum albums: • Elvis Presley • The Beatles • George Strait • Barbra Streisand • The Rolling Stones
Greatest Music Artists: Critical Acclaim • Winning the ears of critics is also a possible qualifier for determining the greatest music artists, so here the most critically-acclaimed albums of all time: • The Beatles: Revolver • The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds • Nirvana: Nevermind • The Velvet Underground & Nico: The Velvet Underground & Nico • The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Greatest Music Artists: Taste • What determining the greatest music artists really comes down to, though, is your own personal taste!
