With so many pop star singers throughout the decades to choose from, it’s virtually impossible to compile a list that is truly objective. Sure, measurements such as record sales and awards could be used to develop a criteria, but what’s the fun in that? For this list, the pop stars are ranked based on what just feels right according to this writer. So here goes! Enjoy!
1. Whitney Houston
The late pop singer battled a lot of demons in her life and sadly was unable to overcome them, dying after drowning in a bathtub following a drug overdose in 2012 at the relatively young age of 48. Before Houston, there weren’t a lot of Black pop singers who were equally admired in the urban streets and in white Suburbia. She would release 7 albums, all of them wildly successful, and she sold more than 200 million records worldwide. She also won 11 Billboard Music Awards in 1993, a record that still stands.
