[@robertgeorgerees]

James brown? prince?

[@antoniomadidi2460]

@Robert Rees They are on the same level in the western countries like USA and European continent, but in the rest of the world like my African continent ,it is not everybody who knows Prince...but MJ has a big impact in Africa, Congo, cameroon...he started appearing on stage since childhood, he was already a star at the age of 11

[@prussiangreen6940]

Drake??? I think Rihanna owned the 2010s.

[@sayss4611]

Facts

[@cashcow4450]

It says “top selling black music artist in each decade”. Drake is the top selling artist of the 2010s with over 260 million records sold vs Rihanna who has only sold about 250 million records (10,000,000 less than Drake)

[@83jdc1]

Rihanna didn't put out music for almost the entire second half of the 2010s

[@troll-fx2zc]

[@jedhawkins1769]

Hey History. You forgot Nicki Minaj, and the king of Alternative R&B The Weeknd, and the greatest guitar player that ever lived, Jimi Hendrix.

[@jedhawkins1769]

@Buhkamae Samuel That's what his music is called. This type of R&B is so dark and moody and gothic and experimental.

[@annunakian8054]

African-american entertainers have been prominent and influential going all the way back to the days of minstrel shows and speakeasys, whether you know it or like it or not. They created the blues and were early pioneers in rock and roll. You wouldn't have Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynard without them. If you can't tolerate that don't listen to them anymore. And don't use phrases like "what's up" or give people a high five.

[@annunakian8054]

@Adam Sebastian White I wouldn't call that an intelligent response.

[@BIGK4]

Queen Bae I love ❤️ Very good in music

[@lamine428]

Is Cardi B black? Didn’t she mention how black artists are getting black balled working with her - doesn’t that imply she doesn’t consider herself black

[@Spurztunez]

never knew “Mariah Carey” was black 😅

[@flora-3603]

Biracial her father was an afro latino from south america.

[@ralphlong4399]

I think the title for this should be Top Selling Black Artists in Every Decade. My definition of musician is someone who can create, write, and play music. As great as Michael Jackson was, and he was great. Legendary as a matter of fact, but he needed people to play and create the majority of the music he did. When you say musician, I think Prince, who wrote, created, produced and played his music. To me that's a musician IMHO.

[@kiaq1153]

lol u make no sense/

[@kenj280]

Actually Michael Jackson wrote dozens of songs by himself.

[@kenj280]

MJ wrote several songs by himself. Google.

[@lindabranigan2460]

P.S. On my list of "I don't believe your list," is the omission of Whitney. My apologies. Due to my outrage, the numerous #1 artists escape me. And, I am white.

[@stephaniethompson4319]

I knew someone was gonna comment this its sad yall have a problem with this

[@PeaceNinja007]

Usually i'm against race being involved in every aspect, like affirmative action, education, hiring quotas ..etc. . but I think race actually plays a significant role in music. When a race is culturally centered with itself , it tends to create an environment that allows for very unique and quality styles of music to flourish. Being that there are many races and cultures worldwide, we have a large variety of styles that have been created by many different races. From European Classical, European folk Celtic, to African Traditional styles, African American Jazz, traditional Hispanic music (I know Hispanic isn't a race, but it's a centered and well identified culture) .. each giving us unique sounds we can all appreciate.

[@cashcow4450]
