Rihanna is Apple Music's Most Streamed Female Artist

Man, I'm old. I've only heard of half of the entertainers on that list and actually listened to maybe five of them.

Say what you will about "corporate rock" and "overproduced music" back in the '80s, but nothing will every hold a candle to the variety of music that was available from about 1975 - 1992. Grunge killed it and rap put the final nail in the coffin. You don't need real music talent anymore, the crop of entertainers who have come to prominence in the last 20 years are all about image. Queen (Radio Ga-Ga) and the Buggles (Video Killed the Radio Star) were right, video has made it to where the music is purely secondary to the performer.

Even though I don't particularly care for their music, Lady Gaga and Adele are the two on that list that are the most talented musicians. Mariah Carey was great in her early years but her voice has lost its famous range and she kind of squeaks her way through the high notes now. Gaga reminds me somewhat of Sting in that her compositions are kind of strange yet have an underlying musical genius to them.

Now you kids can just get off my lawn!!!!!

Rihanna is incredible on so many levels.

Mariah still around so heavily? Comes as an surprise.

I bet all her streams come at Christmas time.

the state of whats popular in music is depressing

A lot of them have great vocals actually. You should listen to Sia... lately she has more typical pop songs for a long list of reasons, but her older albums show off her writing and singing abilities really beautifully. I love this performance:

Lol, no one I listen to would be in the top 100 for males or females.
