I think Utada Hikaru, Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki are the most popular J-Pop acts, but I'm not sure.
I'd suggest you to listen to some of their Greatest Hits album, I started with these ones:
Utada Hikaru - The Utada Hikaru Singles Collection Vol. 2
Koda Kumi - Third Universe (this comes with her 8th album Universe which is pretty good too)
Namie Amuro - Best Fiction
Ayumi Hamasaki - A Best 2: Black (I personally liked the Black version better, but there's also a White version if you'd like to try it)
Once you've listened to the GH you could try with some of these albums:
Utada Hikaru - Heart Station, Ultra Blue, Deep River
Koda Kumi - Japonesque, Trick, Universe (+ her last single/EP Sumer Trip cause really its songs are AMAZING)
Namie Amuro - FEEL, Past < Future
Ayumi Hamasaki - (miss)understood (that's actually the only Ayumi album I use with her Black/White GHs)
These are the albums you should enjoy the most based on the songs featured in the GHs I suggested you.
I also like Ai Otsuka very much, but I don't think she's that popular. Maybe you could try listening to her Ai Am Best GH |

I think you would like Koda Kumi.
You should get her albums trick, kingdom, Japonesque and black cherry. You should also download some of her songs like real emotion, you, D.D.D, etc....
Another good artist is Ayumi Hamasaki. She's considered of the empress of J-Pop. I would recommend her best albums. I would also recommend miss(understood), I am..., secret, duty, love songs, next level, guilty, rainbow and memorial address.
There's also Utada Hikaru who is extremely popular. You should get her whole Japanese discography IMO.
Perfume are also really good. They're a trio and they do techno pop. I would download their greatest hits albums and JPN.
These are some of the most popular artists. I know a couple of artists who are not as popular. I could recommend you some stuff if you like.
