That's a good shout, completely forgot about The Weeknd! I'd say he'll definitely appear, so let's swap him for Enrique (and possibly Bob Dylan for Jamiroquai based on King Rollo's reasoning).

 

My top 20 predix now:

 

Michael Jackson

Robbie Williams

Justin Timberlake

George Michael

Ed Sheeran

Eminem

Will Young

Olly Murs

Jason Derulo

Elton John

Calvin Harris

Bruno Mars

Prince

David Bowie

Freddie Mercury

Kanye West

Usher

Stevie Wonder

The Weeknd

Bob Dylan (or Jamiroquai!)

Edited June 8, 20205 yr by M4NGO

I've now realised that Jamiroquai are a group so I think we have our final 20 settled.

Yeah it seems you're right about Jamiroquai, I just always assumed it was a Simply Red type situation where he's basically the band.

 

Hopefully Gezza can confirm or deny whether our final 20 is correct or not.

Did Brandon Flowers show up on the list yet?

Yes,he was in 36th place.

I confirm nothing lol.

 

The next two are on your list however...

Oooh excited for the rest

Love a bit of Jason, more so his old stuff tbh.

Ed really never been a fan, he does have a few good songs from a long time ago but his output in the last 5 years has been mainly crap imo

I actually like Jason DeRulo tbh I don’t know if I regret voting for him or not (like I didn’t put Bieber on my list and I’d say JB has better hits than him) but yeah he did have some bangers. I do think he lacks sort of versatility perhaps though. That could be why I missed him off. Like he has bangers and catchy hits but none of this albums kinda have a theme they just sort merge into one.

 

I’m shocked at Ed being so high on this site. He’s very hit and miss for me some of his stuff is spot on though and at times he is a great writer.

Oh dear. :lol: I wouldn't rank either of those in the top 20. (well obviously since I didn't put either in my top 20 :lol:)

I’m quite shocked we already lost Shawn too mainly just bc he has an artist forum! I definitely didn’t expect him to beat Ed.

 

I’m really intrigued now at how this list could go. It’s way more unpredictable than the females one I think as on this site males aren’t discussed as much so it’s hard to try and guess and then there’s the recency factor helping some acts out still to appear whilst others have legacy on their side.

 

Very excited to see how these goes and happy I still have a good few of mine to still appear as well. Had I voted on this again some of my top 30 (mainly 21-30 would be different now I’ve seen people’s names who’ve left oops). Excited though!

Jason Derulo has some certified bangers - I had 13 points for him so he may have been a place or two higher if I'd submitted my votes but I'm happy to see him in the Top 20, fully deserved.

 

I actually thought Ed would be a little higher than that.

I was expecting Ed to be top 10.

 

Glad he isn’t tho.

Would have never bet Derulo finishing Top 50, let alone this high! He seems an artist, who is there, but never there... don't know how to explain it properly

 

Ed Sheeran, on the contrary, expected him much higher, though seeing how much overplayed and tiresome his songs become with endless chart runs, can maybe understand this.

 

Not a fan of either though

Glad those two are out now, agree with others saying they expected Ed to be much higher though!

Ed gets way too much hate on here, his last couple of releases were admittedly patchy but I loved his first two albums and there have still been plenty of good songs on the last couple as well. He would have been in my list for this if I did one.

Out of the ones (we think) are left, hoping to see MJ, Elton, Freddie, Prince, Will Young, George Michael all be top 10 🤞🏻

Hoping The Weeknd can finish top 15.

Great start to the Top 20 there with Jason Derulo and the 'PSG of the UK Charts' Ed Sheeran.
