Rolling Stone’s 200 Greatest Singers of all time turns heads

The publication of Rolling Stone’s ‘200 Greatest Singers of All Time’ list started back in 2008, honouring the very best in pop music.

However, for their newly released 2023 edition, massive powerhouses Celine Dion, Pink, Justin Bieber, Janet Jackson, Madonna and Jennifer Hudson were excluded.“This new list was compiled our staff and key contributors, and it encompasses 100 years of pop music as an ongoing global conversation,” Rolling Stone writes, adding criteria was based on “originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy.”

However, social media users took some issue with the release, critiquing them for placing figures like Michael Jackson way down at 86 and completely excluding the likes of Dion, John Legend and Rita Moreno.

Here are the Top 10:

Aretha Franklin

Whitney Houston

Sam Cooke

Billie Holiday

Mariah Carey

Ray Charles

Stevie Wonder

Beyonce

Otis Redding

Al Green
