Reply to Will any of the current artists still be idolised 50+ years from now similarly to how people still adore The Beatles, Elvis Presley etc..? by BlacksmithGullible90

There are artists with tens of millions of listeners who I think will be relatively unknown in 50 years. Unless they have a song with like over a billion streams, they won't be too well known.
Look at a top billboard chart from 50 years ago, 1973 #12 is Clint Holmes. He has 7k monthly listeners now.
Look at the billboard chart for this year. #12 is Chris Brown.
Clint Holmes was roughly the Chris Brown of his day, but now he's a nobody.
I think the only people who will still be widely known are those who made a change to the music landscape, and those who were part of the wave they made.
T-Pain and Kanye with auto tune for example.
But idk, cause a lot of old artists are known for making pop hit after pop hit, so who can say.

Cibo Matto.
Female hip-hop duo from New York, and one of the Beastie Boys, I think Mike D, helped get their first album made. He also did a remix of one of their songs.
I really love their debut album "Viva! La Woman".
