M.O.G.’S TOP 20 MUSICIANS WHO WILL DOMINATE THE NEW DECADE!
So the 00’s were pretty much a boring decade for music. There weren’t many artists who truly made an impact in music history except a few like, Kayne West, Rihanna, Paramore, & of course, the queen of the decade, Beyonce. At the end of the decade, however, something really exciting happened. Around 2008 Indie bands began to take over the world, and in 2009 someone called Lady Gaga burst onto the music scene, finally bringing some excitement back to Pop music. I have hope that this decade will be 10 times better then the last, and we will see some fresh faces start a movement in music, like was done in the 70’s and 80’s with Hair Bands and Naughty Pop Singers such as Madonna and Cyndy Lauper.
I’ve created a list of the 20 musicians that I think will dominate the music scene this decade. There will be new singers on here, as well as singers who have already made their mark, but I think will continue to be a triple threat. Some of my picks may seems unusual, but music is just unusual sometimes.
***Individual Explanations on blog post*****
20. Adam Lambert
19. Chromeo
18. Wynter Gordon
17. Frankmusik
16. Nicki Minaj
15. Katy Perry
14. Kelly Rowland
13. Passion Pit
12. Kings of Leon
11. Solange
10. Selena Gomez
I’m sure you all had to look twice, but yes, Selena Gomez is on this list. There is one simple reason why, and that is…”Naturally”. I haven’t watched disney channel since “That’s So Raven” got axed, but I know good music when I hear it, and “Naturally” is EPIC!
09. Janelle Monae
Whether she makes it big or not, Janelle Monae deserves to be on this list. I haven’t heard one song from her that I dislike, and I feel like she is the voice of this generation, so hopefully this generation gives her a chance. “ArchAndroid” will snatch many wigs.
08. Justin Bieber
3 Top 20 singles, haters at every corner, girls scratching each-others faces off to get to him. And he hasn’t even been out for a year! No more needs to be said.
07. Band of Skulls
This might seem like an unusual choice, but their album “Baby Darling Doll Face Honey” is, in my opinion, one of the best rock albums in history, and I stand by that completely. I see sold out arena’s for this band in the near future.
06. J. Cole
He was the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s new label Roc Nation. His debut album “Cole World” is getting a lot of hype in the hip-hop world, and I’m sure the comparisons between him and Drake have already begun.
05. B.o.B.
Every song I’ve heard from him so far has been GENIUS, and I can’t wait to get his debut album “The Adventures of Bobby Ray”. I think he has a lot of potential, and I see him doing big things. I actually like him better then some of these other new rappers that are hogging my radio.
04. Kanye West
He ruled the last decade, and I’m sure he will be pretty big in this one too. There is only one Kanye.
03. Drake
I don’t think this one need’s an explanation.
02. Beyonce
She became a legend in the last decade, and this decade I’m sure she will continue on her winning streak. Beyonce can do no wrong, and I know she will not let her fans down when it comes to music. What other female artist can do what Beyonce does? Heres to another decade of the Queen Bey ruling the world.
01. Lady GaGa
Im 99.9% sure that GaGa will be the biggest artist of this decade.
Notable Mentions: Trey Songz, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Phoenix, Jamie Foxx, Justin Timberlake, Crystal Castles, Jason Derulo, Simon Curtis, Travie McCoy.
