Posted May 8, 201015 yr Extract from http://top40-charts.com/news/Charts-Awards...y-U2/56069.html Celine Dion Is America's Favorite Singer Followed By U2 No matter the medium-8-track, cassette, CD or a download-everyone has that one artist or band whose albums they play over and over again. According to Americans, their 'Hearts Will Go On' for Celine Dion, as she is the country's favorite singer. 'It's a Beautiful Day' for U2, as they are number two on the Harris Poll list of favorite musicians. One eternal debate has been Elvis versus the Beatles or 'Blue Suede Shoes' versus 'Hey Jude'. Well, that remains un-answered here, as they are tied for number three on the list. Maybe 'It's the Cowboy in' him, but whatever the reason, Americans place Tim McGraw at number five on the list of favorite musicians. These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,320 adults surveyed online between March 1 and 8, 2010 by Harris Interactive. 'The Bottom Line' She just made a splash on the charts recently and already she has 'Paparazzi' stalking her. Lady GaGa is also number six on the favorite musician list. The next two on the list are country stars. George Strait is 'Living and Living Well' at number seven while 'These Days' Rascal Flatts can be found at number eight. 'It's Five O'clock Somewhere,' so Alan Jackson can toast his tie for the ninth spot on the list. Rounding out the list, also tied for ninth, is the Chairman of the Board, Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra who always did it 'His Way'. 'Who Can It Be Now?' When it comes to favorite artists, it's definitely a case of 'different strokes for different folks.' Celine Dion is tops for women while U2 is number one for men. And, even among women, there is a difference of opinion, as Rascal Flatts is number one for single women and Celine Dion for women who are married. Americans need to 'Come Together' not just with their votes, but also their favorite artists. Among both Republicans and among Conservatives, U2 is the favorite. Among Democrats Celine Dion is number one and for Independents it is The Beatles. However there is a flip, as among Liberals, the number one is The Beatles and for Moderates, it is Celine Dion. Depending on where people live, they will likely have a different favorite artist. Among Easterners as well as Southerners, Celine Dion is number one. Tim McGraw is tops for those in the Midwest, and for Westerners, U2 is their favorite. As one might expect, generation and a different taste in music go hand in hand. For Echo Boomers (those 18-33), Rascal Flatts is their favorite while for Gen Xers (those 34-45) it is U2. Baby Boomers (those 46-64) say The Beatles are their number one while for Matures (those aged 65+) it is Celine Dion. FAVORITE SINGER/MUSICIAN OR BAND 'Who is your favorite singer/musician?'
