Most sports fans consider Jordan and LeBron the undisputed NBA GOATs of all time. Throw in Magic, Curry, Kobe, and a few others, and there are 10 or so NBA players that nearly everyone agrees are among the greatest and most influential, in varying orders.

But determining the greatest and most influential musicians of all time is a far more difficult task. We all have different preferences about which music genres and decades are superior, before even considering the artists themselves, making our opinions about who is the greatest vastly different from person to person.

To compensate for these biases we’ve broken down our list of the greatest and most influential musicians into categories based on measurable achievements that reflect their impact and popularity. These include:

  • Artists with the Most Albums Sold
  • Artists with the Most Number One Hits
  • Most Streamed Artists
  • Artists with the Most Concert Ticket Sales
  • Artists with the Most Grammys
  • Artists with the Largest Social Media Following

Finding the leaders in these categories helps rank artists more objectively while also uncovering some interesting details about them. For instance, did you know that despite the rise of streaming, The Beatles still hold the record for the most number-one hits in history? This is a testament to their long-lasting influence, placing them high on this list, regardless of our individual preferences.

Digital music on the other hand, has helped propel modern artists like Drake, the most-streamed artist globally, while artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have dominated sales and streams while also commanding huge followings on social media, reflecting their influence beyond music alone. These concrete metrics provide a balanced perspective on who the greatest musicians of all time truly are, recognizing both their commercial success and cultural impact.
