Can you name the #1 pop star?

Don't listen to much radio and when I do it is Classic Rock. Have not had cable for 2+ decades, and no streaming services. See a bit when lodged in motels. Infrequently watch TV at home. Much on computers, so read news headlines that are always full of celebrity links including music stars, but never select their links, especially never any of the current madness click baiting women showing off their bodies. So who are these people? Obviously I don't care and prefer to keep my precious mind away from being contaminated so.
 
I've never been a big fan of pop music....so, no.

My granddaughter listens to it, but lately she's more into K-Pop (Korean). I don't pay attention to the singer's names and, for me, the music is even less enjoyable now than it was when I was young. Their voices are so radically auto-tuned and pitch-corrected they sound like singing bots. Plus the performance productions are so over-the-top and same-y they're nauseating.
 
If there's a pop quiz ..:LOL: ... 4 of the top 10 in 2023 are:

Kacey Musgraves - Jennifer Lopez - Lizzo - Harry Styles

The undisputed king of pop is Frank Sinatra. He had singles on the Billboard chart in every decade from 1940 to 1980. He had Top Ten Albums spanning 62 years. Nobody else is even within shooting distance.
 
I can only rarely name celebrities in any field, including those from my generation. Don’t really care anyhow but I do get infusions of new music from my 17 year old niece by way of the radio station she likes which combines contemporary music with classic rock. My stepson got me caught up when he was in high school and college. Not sure what I’ll do when I stop hearing her music, go back to my eclectic collection suppose.
