In America, No.

No

yes, king of mums

No

He's an icon.
Not sure about legend, though.

No

He's the definition of generic

No. In Europe, maybe?

YES !

I'm the only person so far to vote for who is he

I'm from America and I've honestly never heard of him. Seen his name on this site but never listened to his music, so no.

Yes, he is.

Just cuz ATRL users from the US are voting no doesn't mean he isn't a legend

Yes, and the Americans are missing out.

Europe: yes
Everywhere else: no

but he has conquered three out of 5 continents: Europe, Australia and South America + the has sold more albums in the United States than Meghan Trainor.

Obviously

An icon imo (especially in Europe)

A legend needs to have some kind of impact or influence, respect and acclaim

I'm from SA and he's regarded as an icon here, not legend

well, he is regarded as one of the best entertainers in the world. is that impact? He also single-handedly revived swing music in the early 2000's.

He's a legendary actor and will always be remembered. rip
