I decided to post my first blog article on pop artists. First, I wanted to try something different and branch out from my typical rock and metal. Second, I found it an interesting conversation starter to ask, "what's your favorite Michael Jackson song?" Answers are more diverse than one might think, and often cause a lot of thought and reminiscing to even come up with an answer. Third, I've always listened to the radio and been influenced by pop music on TV and movies even if it wasn't my go-to choice of music. I still like it and listen to it. There was even a time in late middle school where I was called a top 40 kid. It's shocking to imagine now, haha. So, I started with the King of Pop and tried to include the biggest names in this post. If there's someone you would like me to make a list on, let me know in the comments. Before going on, realize that these are my top 10 favorites by each artist. You may disagree with some choices, and that's fine. Following my previous posts, artists are in alphabetical order. Songs that are covers, or are collaborations that appear on other artist albums are usually not included except in special cases where the song is synonymous with the artist (i.e. Whitney's version of I Will Always Love You)
