When it comes to 2021&#39;s most popular music&nbsp;artists, who do you think takes the cake as the most famous singer in the world? While we all have our own idea&nbsp;of who the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers" target="_blank">best singers of all time</a> are, the most famous takes a little more into account. Sure, many of these popular singers could also be considered the best ever or&nbsp;the best of their time, but talent isn&#39;t the only factor in determining the most famous singers in the world right now. In determining who&#39;s number one, you might also consider who often makes the headlines in 2021, who releases the most chart-topping songs, or even who has the best image.

With all of this in mind, singers like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd&nbsp;could all top the list of popular singers out right now. However, these big names are just a few of the world&#39;s most famous current singers. You also have Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-female-artists/ranker-music" target="_blank">top female vocalists</a>&nbsp;Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, and so many more. From American and English celebrity vocalists, to the biggest international heavyweights&nbsp;it&#39;s up to you to decide just which of these people are the most famous star singers today.

Celebrity Lists

Lists about and ranking the best, worst, most interesting, and most surprising names of real people, normal and famous.

What's In a Name?

Pop Culture

What&#39;s in a name? Apparently, a lot of misconceptions and mispronunciations. These famous names have become part of the public vocabulary, whether they belonged to historic heroes or modern-day celebrities. But once the masses start to say a name in a particular way, it tends to stick.

Many of the people on this list found it hard to change the narrative once their mispronounced name got big, and resigned themselves to being called the wrong thing for all of eternity. In other cases, translating names into English from another language caused the mispronunciation mishap. And occasionally, the mispronounced name is so well known, it actually overtakes the original version, making a wrong into a right.

Some of these might change the way you say certain names.&nbsp;But also, we get it. No one wants to be the person who insists on calling The Cat in the Hat&nbsp;author&nbsp;&quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dr-seuss-facts/tamar-altebarmakian" target="_blank">Dr. Soice</a>.&quot; Still, it&#39;s nice to know the technically correct way of saying things, and some of these mispronunciations have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/us-town-name-backstories/michael-muir" target="_blank">backstories more mind-blowing</a>&nbsp;than the right way to say the name. At least now, if you&#39;re ever time-traveling to the beginning of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-mongol-empire-facts/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">Mongol Empire</a>, you&#39;ll be courteous enough to pronounce &quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/savage-genghis-khan-stories/jason-f-collins" target="_blank">Genghis Khan</a>&quot; correctly.

Elle Tharp

She is one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/10-most-recognizable-voices/taranalexander?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most recognizable voices</a> in national radio, so you'd think there would be plenty of Angela Yee boyfriends. She's spent 12 years as one of the hosts on #1 show The Breakfast Club alongside Charlamagne Tha God, before having her own nationally syndicated daily show called Way Up With Angela Yee.&nbsp;Yee's fame in the hip hop world has led her to dating a lot of men in the rap scene, some of which include Joyner Lucas and Gucci Mane. Many of the men on this list are rumored relationships or brief flings, as the radio personality doesn't often go public with her relationships.&nbsp;Take a look below to see who Angela Yee has been linked with, as well as what they do for a living, and when they were born.&nbsp;

Celebrity Origins

List of celebrities with stage names, loosely ranked according to fame and popularity. It's tough to break into show business, but a good stage name might give you a leg up in a sea of boring Joe Smiths and Anne Taylors. This list includes famous people you didn't know were using fake stage names, including those who go by their middle names and celebrities who used variations of family names. A number of people on this list changed their names to avoid confusion with other actors. For example, the Batman you know as Michael Keaton was born Michael John Douglas - not to be confused with Michael Kirk Douglas (whose own father, Kirk Douglas, was born Issur Danielovitch). Other celebrities changed their names to protect their privacy. Natalie Hershlag was a famous child actress, but you have always known her as Natalie Portman. Some celebrities who use pseudonyms changed their names themselves just because they sounded better.This list of famous stage names includes celebrities who go by nicknames and famous people who have changed their names. It does not, however, include female celebrities who use their married surnames professionally, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/adopted-celebrities/carly-kiel?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous people who were adopted</a> by stepparents at a young age and had their names legally changed as children, or celebrities with obviously theatrical stage names, such as many wrestlers and eponymous artists. You know Adele must have a last name. You know Sting's real name is not Sting. You are pretty sure it's not just a coincidence that the Macho Man's last name was Savage.

When it comes to the most famous athletes&nbsp;in the world right now, a select few names easily top the list. Not only that, but many of these popular players&nbsp;are also some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time" target="_blank">best athletes</a> in their respective sport. However, while skill and statistics are surely major factors in ranking athletes by fame, the most famous athlete out doesn&#39;t have to be the very best&mdash;especially not on this list. In short, it&#39;s up to you fans to decide just who takes the title for the most famous athlete, as well as those who follow close behind.&nbsp;

For starters, we all know <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-male-athletes/reference" target="_blank">famous male athletes</a>&nbsp;like Lebron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Roger Federer will find themselves high on the list. Then you have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-female-athletes/reference" target="_blank">top female athletes</a> like Serena Williams and Hope Solo. Keep in mind, though, the sport isn&#39;t necessarily a factor here. Whether you consider natural talent or straight statistics in determining who&#39;s the most famous, that&#39;s your choice. Perhaps it&#39;s who you see on TV the most in 2021, or those with the most endorsements.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease where endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus. Famous people are not immune to this disease, and there are actually quite a few celebrities with endometriosis. It can be painful, and even cause infertility. Despite the fact that millions of women across the globe are affected by endometriosis, there is still a need for a lot more research on treating and preventing the condition.&nbsp;Several celebrities have helped to raise awareness by sharing their own experiences. For example, after having surgery to remove her uterus and appendix, Amy Schumer said that her “lifelong pain” associated with endometriosis was gone. Lena Dunham had a hysterectomy at age 31 due to the condition. Some surgeries for this disease focus on removing the endometrial tissue from where it shouldn't be. Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi had five such procedures.Read on below to learn about the female celebrities who have spoken out about their struggle with getting diagnosed with endometriosis, and how they felt after undergoing surgery for it.

Celebrities with knock knees, also known as genu valgum, have a condition in which the knees tilt inward, while the ankles remain spaced apart. It's incredibly common and normal amongst girls and some boys during their development. &nbsp;If you have them, you might have knees that touch or “knock” more than usual while standing up or walking. It isn't detrimental to your well-being, but it is a sign of low muscle definition in the legs. Knock knees are especially common in very thin people, like supermodels Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, as well as former Disney Channel stars, “good 4 u” singer Olivia Rodrigo and Wednesday's Jenna Ortega.&nbsp;Scroll on below to see other famous people with knocked knees.

Famous people can have genetic disorders, too, like the rare Trimethylaminuria. Also known as “fish odor syndrome,” the condition occurs when the body cannot break down enzymes - called trimethylamine - in certain foods.The excess trimethylamine builds up, resulting in the body emitting a “fishy odor.” Stars like talk show host Seth Meyers reportedly have dealt with this genetic disease. While it does not have a cure, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/trimethylaminuria/">National Health Service</a> in the UK says avoiding cows’ milk, non-freshwater seafood, shellfish, eggs, beans, peanuts, offal, and supplements that contain lecithin can help.Not very many famous people have this condition, as it is quite rare.

Distinguishing Features

Celebrities come in all shapes and sizes, but the easiest to recognize has to be the hourglass body shape. You’ll see a lot below, as the hourglass figure has been an iconic look since the days of Old Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe.Some modern-day celebrities with that shape include Kim Kardashian - which makes sense since she wore Monroe’s dress to the 2022 Met Gala - Beyoncé, and Sofia Vergara. Also referred to as “hourglass body shape,” an hourglass figure is defined by hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement. Though this particular body shape is one of the rarest, it should come as no surprise that there are many in Hollywood. Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones and Kat Dennings of Two Broke Girls also have hourglass figures.From Mad Men star Christina Hendricks to popstars like Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish, you will recognize a lot of the celebrities on this list.

A List of Celebrity Twins, with photos! This list includes both fraternal and identical twins, famous twin duos and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-with-twins-who-passed/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">celebrities with twin siblings</a> who aren&#39;t famous. Twin actors and celebrities are pretty rare given that only 2% of the world&#39;s population are twins, and only 0.2% are identical twins. To this day, twins are considered somewhat exotic and therefore appealing to new parents and casting agents alike. Couples trying for their first child often muse that fraternal twins (one boy, one girl) would be ideal.&nbsp;

In scientific terms, identical twins are known as &quot;monozygotic&quot; and fraternal twins as &quot;dizygotic&quot;. While twins may be unusual, some researchers suggest that as many as 1 in 8 pregnancies begin as twins, however, only one fetus is brought to full term as the other disintegrates. This is known as &quot;Vanishing Twin Syndrome&quot;. There is also such a thing as semi-identical twins in which the twins inherit identical genes from their mother, but different genes from their father. This list includes all types of famous twins in history - famous Asian, white, and Black twins, and they have all done something notable.

Now? He’s one of the more solid celebrity role models for boys because his story shows redemption and hope. There’s the nice guy (Chris Pratt), the stand-up guy (Nick Offerman), and celebrities as role models so cool you want to hang out with them all the time guy, like Dave Grohl and Keanu Reeves. There are the obvious old timers like John Goodman and Jeff Bridges. There’s the nice playboy (George Clooney). And then there’s the king of the actor role models, everyman Bill Murray. Sure, everyone has feet of clay and no one on this list of celebrity role models is perfect. They are, however, artist and actor role models who have managed to not completely set their lives on fire, or if they have, have weathered the storm and have insight to share. Which musician or actor role model is your money riding on? Which actor role model would you recommend to your child? Have a beer with? Watch the game? Have bail you out of jail?

Celebrities, in a general sense, live a life of luxury. Nice houses, fancy cars, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-own-private-jets/celebrity-lists">personal jets</a>, drinking from the top shelf; the world is their oyster.
