Who do you think is the greatest musician of the century so far? Let us know in the comments. For more content like this, click here: ruclips.net/p/PL516BCD7C62DBCACA&si=Le0Sfm3Hxr9ay5Et
All her best work was released during the last 10-15 years, LEMONADE, BEYONCE and her new trilogy of albums are some fo the best (and most acclaimed) albums of all time. Just say you only to commercial pop lol.
Remember: just because a singer knows how to be successful, it doesn't make him a great singer. A great singer makes good music, is a great showman on stage and knows how to treat his fans.
The fact that Eminem was not even on the list is crazy already. He won the most awards out of many other rappers. Won multiple records. Was the highest selling rapper of all time. Had some of the best rap albums of all time. Is known as the best rapper of all time and also won the artist of the decade for 2000s and you still had the audacity to not even have him on the list at all. No offense but this is a disappointment. Also it is funny how you put Kanye on your worst musicians of all time and now you put him as one of the best artists of the century.
While these list is subjective, i like that they put Bruno Mars higher. He's very underrated in the USA but Globally, he's one of the best of our time. They will always target his lyrics but same critics will praise other artist for their nonsense lyrics
NEVER has the word musician done sooo much heavy lifting!!! ALL singers (allegedly)- Ill give you Alica Keys- yeah a singer but a musician too but that it
No they didn't. That was a statement phase he did on purpose with prosthetics. If anything, they highlighted one of the projects that made him an intriguing public presence.
@@Uncle_Smidge terrible choice for a thumbnail either way. Besides, I’m sure there were better frames than that one of him from whatever that was from.
I know right thanks for saying that I am mad that neither Ari, Post Malone or Drake are not in this list seriously? They are 3 multi platinum artists to have multiple billboard records, selling out arenas world wide, influencing many artists that come after them and they keep generating fans. It's a freaking joke.
I totally agree! I love Avril and to have the barely singing Billie Eilish on this list is just garbage. This clown should never make a list again. Avril is the greatest!
Can we grow up, honestly? Britney deserves to be on this list because her impact on the music industry, but she is NOT a great musician, let alone top 5 greatest musician of the century. She is top 5 most influential pop stars of this century. But that’s not the same thing.
@@manbazz As much as I love Britney, she is definitely more of a pop star/entertainer than musician. She played the piano during In The Zone, but not since then. And sadly her voice has been damaged, even though there's no denying she had vocal potential at the start of her career. She has, however, definitely written/co-written quite a lot of songs, and she hasn't just lip-synched every single performance.
“Let’s leave drake off the list because it’s cool to hate drake right now” Im not even trying to glaze but there’s not a world we live in that drake isn’t a top 3 artist of our generation let alone top 20.
Sufjan Stevens doesn't even have 1 video on YT with 50 million views. Who the hell made this list? I've never heard of 3 of the 15-20. And to not have Drake despite me not being into him is a travesty.
The man made some of the greatest albums of this century. He may not be as popular as some of the others, but in terms of artistry, he should be in the top 10
I'm confused didn't WatchMojo said that Lana Del Rey was one of the worst singers. Now she's on the list of greatest musicians of the century? Make up your mind WatchMojo
Surprised that Taylor Swift is not at number one. And where the fuck is Ariana Grande? She has sold nearly 100 million records worldwide and has 9 number one hits on the Hot 100, she inspired multiple artists, impressed critics with her 4 octave vocal range, she has also won a slew of awards and has broken out in film with Wicked becoming one of the highest grossing films of all time. Ariana Grande has inspired a generation in pop culture like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilsh. This list is ridiculous.
@@Uncle_Smidge no they dont make music. They make a product. They sell that product. And thats all its ever been for them. They arent musicians as the noise they create has no soul. I also dont like MOST of Lady Gaga's music but still know she makes music because she actually puts soul into it.
You guys should be ashamed of yourself for not having THE Ariana Grande on this list. Pink? Alicia Keys? The Weeknd? Mitski? Frank Ocean? Billie Eilish? Really guys? Not even half of them reached the global success and impact she had 😑

Emily Armstrong
Gracie Abrams
Ariana Grande and
Katy Perry with Shakira
@@WatchMojo shit list.
Not Kanye West. I can't believe he is even on this list. His music is very very boring at best.
This is the worst top 20 I have ever seen.
lol yall dont listen to music enough. lmao
I agree totally
Beyoncé at no1 is a true crime.
She hasn’t had a great record since Halo and that’s been well over 10-15 years ago.
Diabolical list
leave it man, pretty much ass list, he said beyonce so he won't get killed 😂😂😂😂
All her best work was released during the last 10-15 years, LEMONADE, BEYONCE and her new trilogy of albums are some fo the best (and most acclaimed) albums of all time. Just say you only to commercial pop lol.
How the hell are some of these names on here for the century - I don't remember a more ridiculous list from Watch Mojo , this is borderline nuts
this is a garbage list. i watched till 18 and i turned it off.
@@freddytan8746 it only got worse😅
Having Kayne ranking above Adele and Taylor Swift is beyond criminal.
This list belongs on the Top 20 Worst Lists of the Century (so far)
😂 agree 100%
Watchmojo leave music to Msmojo you screwed up with this list
Remember: just because a singer knows how to be successful, it doesn't make him a great singer. A great singer makes good music, is a great showman on stage and knows how to treat his fans.
Ight buddy
And Rihanna isn’t top 5. Crazy list😂😂
Tyler the mf creator!!!!
"Best Musicians"? You meant "Best WESTERN POPSTARS".
The fact that Eminem was not even on the list is crazy already. He won the most awards out of many other rappers. Won multiple records. Was the highest selling rapper of all time.

Eminem rose to prominence in 1999.
Eminem not being at least top five is crazy
Eminem rose to prominence in 1999, disqualifying him from this list in their format
@@BigJuice77he did most of his music in this century. This list is dumb
While these list is subjective, i like that they put Bruno Mars higher. He's very underrated in the USA but Globally, he's one of the best of our time. They will always target his lyrics but same critics will praise other artist for their nonsense lyrics
Meh. As a vocalist, I guess he's okay.
Lana Del Ray - chef's kiss🙂. Her voice is so warm and beautiful.
Ed Sheeran should have made the top 20
Every project of his besides his first has been critically panned
This list is bad, like really truly all over the place
frank ocean,Adele,billie eilish,Amy winehouse, Beyoncé, the weeknd, sza,rihanna,lana del rey,lady gaga
they really said thank you Beyonce
worse than billboards list .... copy cat ?
I mean people thank beyonce for a reason, she paves the way.
Frank Ocean does not deserve to be number two whatsoever
This list is going to be trash. 👎🏻💩
And it was
That's the issue with lists like this. It's entirely opinion based. Their number 1 can be somebody I completely detest and vise versa.
As always
😂
Oh, good, the self-declared arbiters of taste are here to tell us what music we're allowed to like!
I have never heard of Mitski before.
Because of the battle you’re not going to out Drake? Wow🤦🏾♂️
no Drake at all?😂 im not even a big fan but the guy has dominated hip hop for almost 20 years, how do u not include him.
Popular doesn't mean good
He dont have any voice like the other artsists in the list
@@saly4762not popular doesn't mean good either 😅
@@eJacksongwell exactly, popular doesn’t mean good, not popular doesn’t mean good either. So popularity isn’t a valid parameter, what’s your point?
@@ds9150 same as yours with a twist.
But then, could you tell me why Drake isn't on this list ? Or Eminem ?
How do you quantify greatness ?
Heres the top 5:
#1 Beyonce
#2 Frank Ocean
#3 Amy Winehouse
#4 Kendrick Lamar
#5 Lady Gaga
all trash
No
Tyler the creator will be on the list if i predict it
Edit: im right
NEVER has the word musician done sooo much heavy lifting!!! ALL singers (allegedly)- Ill give you Alica Keys- yeah a singer but a musician too but that it
Bruno Mars is a multi-instrumentalist and has written a song for Alicia Keys lol
Yikes, what a bad picture of the weekend to use as your thumbnail. Y’all did him dirty.
No they didn't. That was a statement phase he did on purpose with prosthetics. If anything, they highlighted one of the projects that made him an intriguing public presence.
because hes trash
@@Uncle_Smidge terrible choice for a thumbnail either way. Besides, I’m sure there were better frames than that one of him from whatever that was from.
Where's Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Drake etc... ??
all trash, just like the videos choices
I know right thanks for saying that I am mad that neither Ari, Post Malone or Drake are not in this list seriously? They are 3 multi platinum artists to have multiple billboard records, selling out arenas world wide, influencing many artists that come after them and they keep generating fans. It's a freaking joke.
Worth list ever
1. Beyoncé
2. Radiohead
3. Kanye West
4. Kendrick Lamar
5. Taylor Swift
This is my prediction of how the top 5 will go
Not a single one belongs there either.
Others do except radiohead
Radiohead is a band and they were famous last century.
Why no Ariana Grande? 😂😂😂
No Katy perry, ariana grande, nicki minaj, justin bieber?
Minus Grande, those belong to the worst musicians/celebs that WatchMojo made a few days ago
Taylor Swift, Sia, c'mon 😂
Chris Brown is the G.O.A.T that they are scared of mentioning.🐐🐐🐐🐐
Eminem better be top 5
they said greatest
Eminem debuted and blew up in 1999 so I don’t think he qualifies for this one.
Is it crazy for me to think Kendrick Lamar is a teacher in a another universe😂
Not putting Marshall on this list is diabolical
Marshall both debuted and “rose to prominence” in 1999 and thus wouldn’t qualify
Keep it up
Avril Lavigne not being on this list is insulting! There is no way Mitski and Sufjan Stevens, who I never even heard of, deserve to be here over her.
I totally agree! I love Avril and to have the barely singing Billie Eilish on this list is just garbage. This clown should never make a list again. Avril is the greatest!
I mean expand your music taste...
Yeah avril is great. But also sufjan and mitski are two of the best lyrics and story telling musicians in history
Destroy Lonely better be #1.
No Eminem, and Drake, seriously bruh
At least 3 people are on here that I've never heard of so far & I'm only 5:28 into the video
No Chris Brown is absolutely egregious
I have heard of about half of these artists . Maybe 3 of the ones I have heard of I have listened to by choice .
#1? Really? 🤷🏼♀️
Frank Ocean at #2 is crazy bad. He had ONE year of relevancy at most. Hasnt been seen since
Lost me at #19. You would think it was April fools tomorrow and not Christmas with how terrible this list was
Thought for sure Eminem would be in the top two but found he dropped his debut album in 1996, and he started blowing up in 1999.
Beyoncé ❤
Wtf done this list must be april fools day early shocking.
Who is in the thumbnail?
is it phoebe bridgers?
@isaac1961 from a quick Google search, it appears so. Thanks!
Billie now
The weekend?
The Weeknd, with facial prosthetics for a performance/visual statement he did a while back.
If Britney Spears doesn’t make the top 5, this list is flawed.
Can we grow up, honestly? Britney deserves to be on this list because her impact on the music industry, but she is NOT a great musician, let alone top 5 greatest musician of the century.
She is top 5 most influential pop stars of this century. But that’s not the same thing.
She made it big last century, so she can’t be considered for _this_ list.
@@maxxh5331she was the biggest pop star of the 2000s, lol what are you smoking
@@manbazz As much as I love Britney, she is definitely more of a pop star/entertainer than musician. She played the piano during In The Zone, but not since then. And sadly her voice has been damaged, even though there's no denying she had vocal potential at the start of her career.

Where tf Chris brown at?
The photo of The Weeknd that they used is terrifying. How much plastic surgery and makeup does one person need?
Do what billboard did for number 1
This list is more the narrator's favorite rather than the greatest. I mean, hello, Mitski? Sufjan Stevens? Phoebe Bridgers?
Yeah I kinda agree. Especially with the praise that the artists were given. Sometimes what was said made them seem better than they were.
Those are some of the most critically acclaimed artists of the century
No future or drake?? Wow literally the two men with the most hits in billboard history
they trash tho
@ mf this list trash .. how they trash wen try running rap
Those are rappers
@ so wtf is Kendrick Lamar then .. Cuz Drake and future have pop songs shit even Chris brown

Alicia keys has got many talents,even if i don't like all her song
Did he just call P!nk an old dog 😂
#19, #16 #15 should definitely not be included. It's "greatest" and you said "influential". They are definitely not that influential.
