    How the pluck did jay z beat tupac biggie beyonce alicia keys mariah beatie boys ll cooj and the list goes on and on by no means is he better than all of the ones i mentioned and many more FOH

  • danimoni

    This is some crap he should of been 100 there is noway this fake dude could ever out rap Pac what a lame list.

  • vincyD

    I think the list is pretty legit. Hard to argue the Beatles and MJ as the top two. No one sold more records than the Beatles or had more influence on other artists (including MJ who owned the Beatles music rights and recorded with Paul McArtney). Once you get out of the t0p-10, its easy to argue that one artist is better than another, but I think the top-10 was pretty dead on, even if I dont care for all of them. Hard to argue record sales and influence.

  • eric

    Mj would never have been named number 2 if he wasn't six feet under. It was supposed to be the greatest arists. Not he most influential or best selling artists. The beatles? Off key voices and the same 3 chords makes you the greatest of all time?

    • Victoria

      R U RETARDED MJ IS THE BEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME

  • http://artisticphysics.wordpress.com artisticphysics

    This bull****

    How in the hell is Sade, Tupac, Aretha Franklin, and other artists not in the top 20? And how is Michael Jackson not number 1? VH1 is constantly discriminating against blacks.

    http://artisticphysics.com

    • christian

      this list is just racist ive never evan heard a beatles song and i no that all the white people on this list basically stole songs from black artis and btw beyonce shouldve been #2 or before madonna madonna sucks

      • bubba beaver

        Who's saying MJ sold more than the Beatles? Not even CLOSE. Beatles sold TWICE as many certified in the US (200 million vs 89 for MJ.) The whole list is lame: it's totally subjective...what qualifies as "greatest?"

        MJ re-entered the charts after his death? The Beatles sold 2.5 million copies of remasters more than thirty years old. And the reason you don't see them in recent "top sales" figures is because everything they did was before the Soundscan era. Duh.

        Hey Elvis outsold MJ quite nicely too. So, no racism...just numbers, or a totally subjective opinion, which means nothing.

  • asfdads

    Micheal Jackson is only number 3 because he died recently, so he got a huge amount of sympathy votes. His music wasn't that good... Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc. are way better musiscally. This list is pretty white though, although The Beatles do deserve the number one spot I don't see how The Beach Boys or U2 are better then 2pac or Biggie. Or Nas and Jay-Z.

    • shell517nj

      Michael Jackson is just as influential as The Beatles or Elvis. don't get me wrong i respect them both. Wikipedia ranks MJ #3 for the best selling music artist of all time and he sold less than the top 2. Check the stats, Michael is most influential around the world than any other artist and his impact is unprecedented.

  • BApe747

    MAX B ain't make the list? Laugh w me. Friday...

  • Natalie

    How in the world did beyonce and jayz get above all these talented people and a lot of people were left off they had to pay them big time for this because everything beyonce and jayz is copied off someone but the person that said michael jackson got a lot of sympathy you need to get ur facts right he is rightly to be in the top 3 because many people have praised him musically. He was the first to come out with movie videos, the first to include dance, and one of the first black men to write his own music, plus the first black to be accepted on mtv videos, and has the most awards of any artist, so tell me he's not worthy of the spot. You cant get mad cause your beloved white artists didnt make the cut, so you belittle black artists like him, biggie, nas, 2pac, and jayz.

  • LANY

    .:where is Janet Jackson,Lauryn Hill and how the hell is JayZ before Tupac and Eminem:.

  • Mac

    Are the most influential and best selling artist necessarily the GREATEST artist; or are these only two of the key factors considered in the decision making process for this list?

    What are the requirements to make this list please someone tell me because the rankings and order are a tad bit skewed....

  • Cody Marti

    Where is Bon Jovie? Livin on a prayer come on!

  • yaya

    Tupac is one of the highest selling artists of all time!! he is amazing!! deserves to be higher on the list!

  • musicismylife

    reading these comments makes me glad that musicians voted and not the public. this is about the music not who's race created the best music. you don't hear latinos or asians crying about being left off the list. and yes santana deserved to be included. the top 5 are pretty solid though i have to disagree with dylan being number 3 but pretty solid list. beyonce, jay z and justin timberlake do not belong on this list what so ever. they are not 1 of the 100 best artsit of all time. people keep crying racism but there were some notable "white" artist left off. garth brooks and stevie ray vaughn deserve to be on that list because of the influence they had on music. and some black artist that belong on it is the father of the delta blues robert johnson because without him there is no rock,funk or hip hop. also john coltrane belongs on that list. but i bet most of you don't even know who those four artist are. unfortunatley people believe what the media, radio and itunes tells them what is great music. there are many great artist that are not known or popular in all generes if you search for it. when beyonce is being thought of as great it just shows how little people know about great music.

  • illustrious

    im sry... I love rap but notrious big and pac dont belong in the top 100... we are talking all time and all genres... im sry big and tupac really didnt achieve nothing just fans like any other artist and they died... jayz deserves to be 47 b/c of what he has "accomplished" as well as LL... now it pac and big were still alive and made accomplishments then id be ok with it... alose if big and pac were still alive and just fell off like lets says dmx did no one would even talk about them.. POINT MADE!

    • bay area

      you sound stupid..POINT MADE

      • http://artisticphysics.wordpress.com artisticphysics

        I concur. He indeed sounds STUPID

    • artdude01

      JayZ only sold records because Pac and Big are dead. While they were alive, Jay couldn't give away a record. Real Talk.

  • crappylist

    SERIOUSLY? JAY Z , BEYONCE AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE? How is he an artist when he rips off other people's tunes ? Beyonce - I think Mariah should rank higher than her since Mariah's career has been going for almost 2 decades now and has sold more records than any female ever. Justin Timberlake = what the hell has he done as an artist? Oh make his own record outside of N'Sync, sure they're good but top 100 ever? Vh1 = I need to see the ballots. I wanted to see how many artists voted for him. And Jay Z. LL Cool j ? Really? Just coz he's in the top 10 every decade does not make him a great artist!

  • WHERE

    Is Simon and Garfunkel? Carole King? Tony Bennett? Cher? People with music that have stand the test of time? Aside from Jay Z fans, can random people name Jay Z songs? Stupid countdown.

  • Brittany

    Michael Jackson Was NUMBER TWO not three yall need to fix that

  • denise

    how in the hell can they have justin timberlake and other people like that but no nine inch nails that man needs some serious recongnition.

  • jacob

    this list cant be made fair, yuo cant compare these artists of different genres, rap, hip hop, rock, blues ect. mj only got 2 cause hes dead, the beatles should be 1, other than that, i disagree with most of the list, vh1 screwed up # 1 with the greatest rock songs, at least they didnt here

  • http://www.coolfunfitness.com/products/P90X-Peak-Results-Package.html Ahtun

    How on earth could the Beatles beat out Michael Jackson! He sold more albums and even owned their catalog of music! The Beatles are a big deal but the King of Pop is bigger, period.

  • musicislove

    All the comments about racism make me sick. IF THE LIST IS SO RACIST THEN WHY IS HALF OF THE TOP 10 ARTISTS ON HERE BLACK ARTISTS? Just because you personally like Beyonce, or Jay Z, or whoever else doesn't mean they deserve to be ranked higher. I bet you don't even know who the deserving black artists on here are, like Otis Redding, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. And how do you not know who Bob Dylan is? Clearly, some of you don't know music. Beyonce is nowhere near as good as Madonna. What has Beyonce done for music? EVERY pop singer has taken from Madonna. She has had so much influence on pop music that will last way longer than anyone knowing who Beyonce ever was. Yes, I disagree with some of the rankings and artists on here, like Eminem and Tupac should be ranked higher and Justin Timberlake shouldn't even be on the list, but I'm not gonna scream racism. This list was voted on my respectable artists who know what they're talking about. The top 20 is pretty legit. Nirvana is my personal favorite!

  • Dann

    I can't believe that Rush (and Progressive Music in General) gets so disrespected. Rush is the 3rd highest selling band of all time (Platinum & Gold Records) behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. They've been around for nearly 40 years! They've influenced bands on this list. And unlike their 70s contemporaries (Zeppelin #4 / Floyd #18) they're still going strong. I mean, only 75? Come on! They should be at the worst a top-30 group...

  • chong

    Jay-z should have been higher. How is the greatest rapper of all time not higher then Van Halen, Aerosmith, U2, Queen, etc.. The run that he has had as a premier artist is rivaled only by acts like the rolling stones. He's top 20 at least, top ten in my opinion.

  • NANI

    HOW THE HEELLLL COOD ALICIA KEYS BE RANKED AS 100!!!!!!! THTZ AN OUTRAGE

  • Rach

    Love the very racist comment of every white artist on the list "stealing" songs from black artists. Let's take Tina Turner, for example, who is on the list, and deserves to be, but who is most well known for her cover of Proud Mary which was written and sung by CCR 2 years earlier but I don't see them on the list! Why don't you try to know something about music before complaining. You could look up almost any artist rapping or singing the most popular songs this decade and most would have have lyrics or music ripped off from old songs! Rappers of this decade especially love to rip off MJ!

  • J LOVE

    NO WAY HE IS A BETTER MUSICIAN IN HIS LIFE THEN 2PAC BIGGIE RUN DMC .. STOOPID. ANWAYS U GUYS ARE DUMB. IT IS NOT A BLACK-CENTERED ARTICLE ALTHOUGH I PERSONALLY THINK IT REPRESENTS URBAN ARTISTS WELL. NOT WELL ENOUGH TO BE FAIR BUT WELL. 2PAC OUTBEATS JAY Z NO MATTER HOW MANY ALBUMS HE WILL EVER MAKE

  • David Berger

    I would have James Brown ahead of Michael Jackson, and the Rolling Stones ahead of Led Zeppelin.

  • beautifullyme84

    I agree with most of the list.. Pac being number 69 is ridiclous.. How is that even possblie..He should AT LEAST be in the top 30.

  • beautifullyme84

    MJ would have been in the top five if he would or wouldn't have died last year.They have done list like this before he died and he was at least in the top five.. Its not just because it died.Not matter what people loved him.....

    • doogie

      to the person who said that Michael Jackson was in the top 5 of Vh1's last list of greatest artists, you're wrong. he was ranked a low #40 in Vh1's 1998 list of greatest artists. you can't tell me that his death didn't have anything to do with his 38-spot jump to #2. and think about it, what did he do musically between 1998 and 2010? besides put out that crappy Invincible album? if he had put out a bunch of great albums in those 12 years or did a lot of touring and performing in that time, i could possibly understand him being raised to #2.

  • bay area

    this list is bogus as all hell...biggie beat out tupac...further jay z beat out both biggie and tupac...nas handed his ***** to him...naw naw...naw...and michael jackson should have been number 1....wow...i don't understand this bull at all....

  • REALSOULMUSIC

    Michael Jackson could have been on the list twice. He could have topped with the Jackson 5, too. The Beatles were voted #1 as a group. None of them individually could top MJ. Maybe the Beatles out sold the Jackson 5 but the none of them individually could touch MJ. RIP MJ

  • Nick

    What I dont understand is how come Eminem is only 79 when he is artist of the decade with I think its 80 million record sales!

    Jay-z should not be 47 .....MJ should be number 1!

  • konman

    If Justin Timberlake is really on this list I'm gonna throw up!!!

  • konman

    Where is Sam Cooke, The Temptations, Sinatra, Coltrane!!!

  • travis

  • jj

    ok i need to set some of these people straight
    MJ shoulda been number 1 and it aint because he died like some of these azzwipes say it because hands down he had every factor of a real entertainer everybody knows they would pay money to see his live concerts (def in his prime) before anybody on that list michael took over an entire decade and for god sakes he was prolly the most popular and most known person on that list and im not just talk about in white azz america i mean you got people livin in huts that knew who michael jackson was he was a WORLD phenomenon and had talent from the age of 8 im sorry but i dont know who bob dylan was and im not to fond of the beatles neither and once again michael was not in the top because he dies hell for anything his talent had been overlook for to long
    when people were to focused with is personal life
    whateva list like this shouldn't be taken serious to many biased artist rock n roller went for rock people hip hop people went for hip hop people ECT no latinos no real jazz and blues
    the list was garbage
    really chuck berry shoulda been before all those rockers becuase he really single handedly created that entire GENRE btw and were the hell was the temptations??a aww man that list was sti*

  • jj

    and beastie boys in front of outcast????

  • willtill11

    Uh what about JAMES BROWN FOOL!

  • south philly

    No Temptations? No Isley Bros? This list is wack

  • nick

    i was surpised at the list . i don't understand how jazz was not represented ,there was no coltrane ,no miles davis ,no thelonis monk .bb king is one of the greatist musicians of all time ,yet he's left of the list . no sam cooke,and country music was only represented by johnny cash.how is it that muddy waters was left off ,no stevie ray vaughn(one of the greatest guitar players of all time). i wonder what was the criteria for voting because i see artist like the supremes ,tony bennett ,and frank sinatra left off . the only thing i could figure in leaving off those great artist is that they didn't write most of their music ,with sinatra and bennett singing cl*****ic standards and supremes songs written by great motown team and other artist ..also ,not to say an artist like usher belongs up there ,but how do you have justin timberlake and not usher ,if you're going the timberlake route ,then you have to have usher. this countdown was very rock band heavy .

  • Dope

    Wtf Justin Timberlake is before EMINEM & TUPAC

  • pete

    Really! No Wu-tang on that list, you can't be serious.

  • Singer

    ummm...wheres Etta James here? where are all the people that rock n roll STOLE music from?

  • Aaron

    What the GREATEST and best selling rapper EVER EMINEM cant get no love????EMINEM should be a HELL OF ALOT HIIGHER than 79.Is that a joke.No way should jay,beyonce,iggy,biggie or the cure be higher.EMINEM is unmatched on the mic and has BY FAR the biggest following and impact on music.EMS THE GREATEST.

  • James

    How the hell can jay z,beyonce,biggie or pac beat out EMINEM?????EMS the GREATEST EVER.The best selling ever.His music and skills are UNMATCHED.Its a joke when it comes to hip hop cause EM should be in the top 20.

  • Carefreedo

    Michael Jackson is number one. No doubt. Absolutely no doubt. And to those who say the beatles have sold more etc is a slightly ridiculous statistic seeing as they released many more albums then Michael Jackson. Comparing album by album between the two would show you clearly Michael Jackson sold more per release.

    P.S. On a bigger poll, Michael Jackson has been nominated best artist of all time on CNN. End of. The beatles were good, but they weren't the best.

  • Ann Hall

    Cool story, bro.

  • julio

    this is BS,Don"t trust it

  • julio

    This is BS,J-Z should at least be at #20.seems biased

  • Jason Rhodes aka @Hollywoodjason

    Not so sure the list is in the right order. Umm VH1 try it again. Anyway, follow me on Twitter @Hollywoodjason

  • artdude01

    If Jay-Z is 47, then where is 50 Tyson, he should be @ 46! JayZ before Big and Pac? GTFO.

  • stan

    *****ody agrees with this list. Any list where 'beyonce" places higher than Mariah and Whitney isn't legit. This is about Music, not endorsements, films and clothing lines. Whitney tours grossed more than Destiny Child and Beyonce' solo put together lol. WHitney first album outsold beyonce's entire career. WHitney was the first black female artist getting major rotation on MTV. List don't change this dramatically year to year, unless somebody is paying out alot of money. VH1 lost their crediablity in the Music industry now, RIP

  • The Ghost

    Are you serious? MJ is #1 all day on any list. He is killing the Beatles softly and loudly! I agree that VH-1's music selection is highly racists. How is MJ not #1? How did PAC land after Biggie? This is all a set-up to get the people all riled up. BOO to VH-1. Cancel that station. That Jump Start s**t is bogus, anyway.

  • allimsayiniz

    where the hell is Oaktown 357?!?

  • JOEY SMITH

    Come on people--how in the world can you leave USHER and R.Kelly off the list. They both should rank in the top 25 and USHER before he is done--will challenge for the TOP 10.

    WAKEUP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

  • Justi

    Why is the top ten all male?

  • Latosha

    Ok. I underastand the Beattles being no. 1, but Biggie ranked higher than Tupac...and Jay-Z being ranked higher than both! That's not right. MJ should be at least 2 not 3.

    How in the heck did they figure this out???!!!

  • blackcaesar

    Why is the Talking Heads on this list?

  • This list is stupid

    Beyonce beat Little Richard?.....someone who's been around 13 years and someone else who's one of the pioneers of Rock n' Roll....And Jay Z is greater than Tupac, Parliament-Funkadelic, AND Earth, Wind and Fire?......I don't think so and I give up on VH1 and their major record label sponsored list

  • Into music not image

    First things first....... how come Muddy Water nor Miles Davis were on the list. The fact they were omitted speaks volumes.
    Second, several of the "artists" on the list are just carbon copies of artists that SHOULD have been on the list. For example, Janet Jackson should have been on the list instead of Beyonce.
    Third, I'm happy hip hop was included, but Jay Z at 47 ?. Lets be really real, he is good, but he is not as poetic as Nas, as witty as Eminem, as p*****ionate as Tupac, or as historically relevant as Public Enemy , NWA, Beastie Boys and Run DMC. Financially, he has them beat, but as far artistic value.....no.
    Finally, I was not surprised the Beatles were placed at number one. Any time they put out the "greatest of all times" list, they always remain on a pedestal. Why?
    Anyway, just my thoughts. If people agree or call me a hater, it wont make or break my day.

  • malory

    I cant beleave that MICHAEL JACKSON is not on the first palce ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ wahat hapen with the people .
    MICHAEL JACKOSN IS THE GOD AND THE KING OF MUSIC AND ART ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • Fallen Angel

    Interesting.. I wonder who makes this list? Does vh1 even show music videos? i thought they moved onto the alice in whoowhoo-realityland realm.

    No matter how great or cute someone is everyone ends up a damn number somehow.

  • E

    Y does everyone hate on jayz like u have bot heard reasonable doubt or the blueprint or the black album all cl*****ics......tupac and big should hav been in he 30s......this let sucks tho they mine as well put Justin beiber up here.....WHERE THE HELL IS NAS!!!!!.......Justin timberlake and no backstreet boys or tlc or nkotb or backstreet?........A TRIBE CALLED QUEST NEEDS TO BE UP HERE

  • Sherry

    I agree about Bon Jovi....for them to not be anywhere in the top 100....come on! ...But then, remember - these votes came from industry people, not fans. Big difference - shouldn't be, but unfortunately, it is. They've never gotten the industry/critical acclaim they deserve.
