For music lovers, this is a list of the most popular musical artists of the 21st century.

Pop music, which once consisted of mainstream rock music, is now dominated by hip hop, EDM and R&B. While the names may not be familiar to older fans, many of these names for the younger generation are dominant.

These famous 21st century music artists may not be the greatest singers or dancers in the world, but they've all managed to carve out a unique niche in the industry and become household names along the way. Will their fame stand the test of time? There's no way to know. But for now, these are some of the great artists who are popular in today's music scene.
