Another Englishman who is still alive and even doing well. Your most recent remix de Cold heart with Dua Lipa reinforces the artist's importance to pop culture.

Talent to spare, Steve Wonder is very successful to this day: either for his songs that fit well in any romantic scenario, or for his influence in the music world.

7th – Janet Jackson

Icon of the pop world, the youngest daughter of the Jacksons was and is very successful in the pop and R&B charts. Did you know that her Super Bowl performance is why YouTube was created?
