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.

Take a look at the list of top singers below and vote up those who you think are the most famous right now.

Though there's still quite a gender disparity in the genre, the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-hard-rock-and-metal-guitar-shredders?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best female metal singers</a> on this list have managed to break barriers to become well known names in the game. The way aggression and machismo was intertwined into metal at first made it difficult for women to make their voices known but thanks to hard rock pioneers like Joan Jett, women began to make their way into the genre.The early 80s band Warlock became successful across Europe thanks to Doro Pesch, the proclaimed "Metal Queen." Then in the 90s, Liv Kristine's feminine vocals provided a stark contrast to the band she joined - Theatre of Tragedy. In the 2010s, Japan saw a rise in all-female metal bands. As metal develops and changes as a genre, more women will no doubt find ways to participate and thrive in vocal and band capacities.Vote up your favorite female metal singer and scan the list for some more talented figures in the genre.

The battle between pop music fans will always rage over who is the top pop star in the world. Each pop star&#39;s fanbase is highly opinionated and will always argue on behalf of their hero or heroine. This list is determined to figure out who is the biggest pop star alive. Why? Because pop stars are generally at the center of the music universe. They sell out arenas and stadiums. Pop songs are always on top-40 radio, which means their catchy hooks, radio-friendly beats and the group&#39;s crowd-friendly and darn near perfect makes both guys and girls scream OMG whenever their favorite pop star or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-male-artists-under-25-2022/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">teen idol</a> is near them.&nbsp;If you turn on the radio and do not hear anyone on this list at any given moment, then they aren&#39;t considered a gigantic superstar.&nbsp;

Several of the pop groups and pop stars on this list are considered among the greatest <a href="/list/teen-pop-bands-and-musicians/reference">pop stars of all time</a>. That&#39;s no easy feat. You&#39;ll see some of the biggest names in pop music on this list. Ariana Grande, <a href="/list/famous-friends-of-shawn-mendes/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">Shawn Mendes</a>, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna have some of the largest fan bases in the world. Eminem&#39;s fans go nuts whenever they see their favorite group, so this is the chance to defend their honor by voting them the best current pop group on this list. The same goes for the Oscar winner Lady Gaga&#39;s Little Monsters, all of them just happen to be fans of popular singing groups. Ensure Justin&#39;s Beliebers gets his due in the pantheon of current popular artists by voting for him.

No need for a last name! These mononymous singers have so much name-recognition that they are simply addressed by a single name. Singers may choose to go by a single stage name to stand out, sound distinctive, or as a part of their culture. (Bjork, for example, only goes by one name because it is custom in Iceland to address others by one name only.) There are a ton of both male and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-singer-of-the-year?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female singers</a> with one name &ndash; so which ones are the best ever?

In the West, mononymity is normally a privilege of famous people, celebrities, writers, artists, entertainers, musicians, pop stars, and athletes. Of all of these types of artists, there are far more musicians that go by one name than others. Some one name <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-with-stage-names/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">stage names</a> are merely the performer&#39;s given name (Rihanna, Ke$ha, Cher, Madonna, Beyonce), other mononymous musicians go by their surnames (Liberace, Morrissey), and many are <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/words-that-should-be-real/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">made up words</a> (Xzibit, Ginuwine) or nicknames (Sting, Bono, Moby).&nbsp;

The music scene of the 1990s was bustling with rebellion and new sounds, especially in the rock scene. Grunge, industrial, shoegaze, and other forms of the genre became popularized and with it came some excellent 90s bands with female leads. Some of these bands contained all women while some had female singers backed by a mixed or male instrumental band. The contrast of a feminine voice and hard guitars was the recipe for success for a lot of bands on this list.Sleater-Kinney, now legendary, burst onto the scene influenced by riot grrrl and punk sounds with their all-female cast. The Cranberries, meanwhile, were originally an all-male band before their lead singer was replaced by the fantastic Dolores O'Riordan and the rest is history. Other great 90s female fronted bands include Hole, Garbage, and Portishead.Vote up your favorite 90s bands with female singers and scan the list for new possible favorites.

Quick: someone has just asked you to rattle off the best bands named after a color! What do you say? Drawing a blank?

Plenty of these color bands include &ldquo;black&rdquo; in their names. Even though black isn&rsquo;t technically a color, it counts for this list. Black Sabbath, The Black Keys, and The Black Eyed Peas are a few examples. There are also plenty of blues and reds among color band names, with groups like Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Moody Blues listed. You&rsquo;ll find a few notable purples (<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/new-riders-of-the-purple-sage-albums-discography/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">New Riders of the Purple Sage</a> and Deep Purple), plenty of whites (White Zombie, The White Stripes) and at least one &ldquo;Cream.&rdquo;

While black, blue, red and white do seem to dominate this list of bands with colors in their name, a few outliers exist. Think Green Day or Yellowcard. And Sawyer Brown, one of the only country entries on this list, is, well, brown.

The best rock vocalists of all time are the frontmen and leading ladies&nbsp;of our favorite rock bands, or those solo artists whose voices are some of the best ever. These talented men and women of rock could easily captivate audiences with just their vocals. Their voices set them and their bands above the rest and define them as the best rock singers of all time.&nbsp;

To be included on this list, the vocalists must be primarily known for their association with rock music and (obviously) must have a great voice. That really doesn&#39;t narrow down the many greatest rock singers in recent rock music history, though a certain few stand out as above and beyond all the rest. Greats like Robert Plant, David Bowie, Steve Perry and Neil Young come to mind, as do icons like Bono, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen.

While there are many notable vocalists of today&#39;s rock music, arguably many of the best rock vocalists of all time are those from earlier generations. Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury from Queen, John Lennon from The Beatles, Jim Morrison from The Doors, and Bob Dylan are only a few of some of the best rock vocalists ever, but also some of the most influential singers of all time. Freddie Mercury especially had an amazing voice and was ranked second only to Mariah Carey by <a href="/list/mtv_s-best-voices-in-music-ever/music-lover">MTV for the best voices in music ever</a>.

A perfect combination of range, power, articulation and control is needed to become one of the <a href="/list/rolling-stones_-100-greatest-vocalists-of-all-time/music-lover">greatest vocalists of all time</a>. All of those can be taught but the natural ability to have that golden voice, as all of these great rock vocalists possess, is nothing that can be learned.
