It should not be much of a surprise to anyone that there are some pretty nice lookers when it comes to all of those artists in the Top 40 charts. It seems pretty clear to us that there is a healthy cast of characters that we can all choose from when it comes to singers we'd love to make our musical wifies. However, we're not just going to let the would-be quiz-takers go out and just choose who they want.
By all means have someone in mind but each quiz-taker here will be given a certain musical wifey based on their ability to name each and every one of these Top 40 singers. And given that this is all based on the Top 40 there are, as one might be able to guess, exactly 40 singers to go through and name. We are reasonably sure that anyone who pays the remotest attention to the radio or to the music of today will know just the right number of these singers to end up with a pretty awesome and musical wifey.
Now, that's not to say that those who get all the answers wrong will get someone undesirable...but there will be some judgement involved, for sure. So, that all being said, crank those tunes, name those singers, and get ready for a music wifey!
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This particular singer may not be exactly the best and biggest new thing out there but she has certainly made her way in the music industry and has a pretty sweet start to the true launching of her career. For those who are huge Bruno Mars fans, this girl might be recognized from the awesome video to the also awesome song Versace On The Floor from Bruno Mars' most recent album 24K Magic. It is a wonderful video that features this stunning woman in a very alluring dress...and we can assume, rather safely, that the dress is in fact Versace.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy is both a DJ and songwriter and he got his start in the music business in Germany. While he mainly does electro tunes, he has definitely found his way to the top of the pops a couple of times. He hit number eight on his own accord, then he managed to sneak up to number seven with the help of Alessia Cara with their song Stay. And then he pushed even further to number four when he teamed up with Ariana Grande, and that has got to count for something because she is one of the biggest in the music industry right now...well, she's actually quite small but that is besides the point.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer has had a pretty successful time in the entertainment business and while he is not wholly into music, he most certainly started out his time in the industry as both an actor and singer in High School Musical. This was after quite a few years of trying to hack it as just an actor. He then moved on to another musical film with Hairspray and beyond that he starred in some pretty ridiculous films like Neighbors, Neighbors 2 and Baywatch. While some people might not like to think of this guy as a Top 40 sort of dude...it just so happens he's hit the charts this past year.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Well, this guy is certainly more than just a singer. He is a rapper and even more than both of those he is also a songwriter and a record producer as well. A jack of all trades, for sure, this guy first really hit the scene back in 2010 when he was featured on Toot It and Boot It. Anything that has some Def Jam fame is going to go pretty well for a up and coming artist, that's for sure. His very first album, Free TC came out back in 2015 and he's been up on those charts since.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
We are pretty sure that there is just no way at all that anyone could not truly know who this singer is. She has been all over the place for several years now. She started out writing and performing nothing but breakup songs and she was once considered a country artist of a kind. However, once she got deeper into the industry, she went far closer to the pop genre (though she does have some nice acoustic tunes out there still). She's certainly one of the bigger names on the Top 40 chart...and perhaps one of the better looking musical wifies.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here is a very interesting singer who has definitely made the Top 40 on more than one occasion. Once upon a time, this singer used not to show her face at all. In fact, when performing live, she would turn her back to the audience and belt out in the corner while a child danced out the song for her. Now that she has far more money and recognition, she does sometimes show her face and also has wardrobe that helps to hide her. Some believe this was an insecurity thing while other believe it was an attention thing.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
While he first started out in the U.K. back in 2012, he has certainly made it to the big times over here in the west in the past few years. And we should specify that when he "started out" in the U.K. in 2012, he was making the charts already and he very quickly rose to fame there, signing with Capitol Records and releasing a number of singles that hit number one on the charts across the pond. While his first single in the U.S. did not do quite as well...it still managed to hit number two on the U.S. charts, making this guy a pretty big deal over here. Stay With Me was certainly a success.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer, with his very surprising hip hop life started out in Texas...which is not really a place we might expect such a star to hail from. That being said, this guy released his very first single, White Iverson, in 2015 and while it only hit number 14 on the U.S. charts, it did eventually go quadruple platinum which is an incredible feat, of course. This is the very thing that landed him a recording deal and he has since gone on to release albums of the year and has remained consistently on the Top 40 in one way or another.
Who is this Top 40 group?
Who would have expected that a Top 40 group would hail from somewhere up in Alaska? Well, here we have this Alaskan band comprised of John Baldwin Gourley, Zach Carothers, Kyle O'Quin, Zoe Manville and others. The band itself started out in 2001 when they were only in high school. Somehow, they managed to stay together long enough to release a couple of albums together in 2006 and 2007...and then stick around long enough again to be signed to Atlantic Records in 2010. Eight years after the fact, they snagged a Grammy!
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, this New York-raised singer has been a powerhouse in the music industry for just over a decade now. She has certainly seemed to never have any fear when it comes to the way in which she performs. There are certainly no inhibitions. This is a singer who remembers the days of mix tapes but who has easily become accustomed to fame and fortune now. She even just released another album this past year after who knows how many awards and accolades!? She even made a film debut in one of the Ice Age films.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
As shown by the options below, this guy uses a stage name for his performances. His real name is Chris Comstock and he is an electronic DJ. He came to prominence in the DJ/music production world when he started doing remixes of Zedd songs (Who also features on the Top 40), but then dropped his own album in 2016 which lead to each single from the album hitting platinum several times over. He might not be number one status yet, but he has certainly appeared somewhere in the top 30 of the Top 40. That's a start.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This professor (by nickname only) hails from Seattle and is a very interesting and unexpected rapper. So unexpected that his most famous song Thrift Shop was the very first song since 1994 to actually hit number one without being associated with a major record label. That being said, this guy could most certainly be represented by a major label now and has hit number one on more than one occasion, but has decided to release his work independently He has done several pieces with Ryan Lewis in his time as well.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here is a very interesting singer, for sure. Imagine the Weird Al of the rap world and that might begin to describe just what this guy is all about. He is a rap artist and a comedian, even to the point that his stage name is kind of amusing, depending on the audience. When he first came to fame, it was based solely on a YouTube video that he released which hit over a million views in the first 24 hours of its release. That tends to get the attention of producers. He pushed out his first album in 2015, but hit the Top 40 this past year dropping a new song with Chris Brown.
Who is this Top 40 duo?
This is probably one of if not the newest addition to the Top 40 of all the musicians on this list. This dynamic duo originally came to fame two years ago from doing nothing more than remixing a song by Martin Garrix. After that, they did release their own music and managed to hit number 49 on the top charts. Not quite up there in the Top 40. However, just last year, the duo was nominated at the Music in Media Awards for a song that did land them clean in the Top 40. The song was called Show Me.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This particular singer has long been in the media. She has quite the name for herself and not just in music either. She has made quite the foray into the acting world as well. She was pretty well the entire basis for a whole season of American Horror Story and she did just recently star in a big budget film alongside Bradley Cooper where she both got to show off her acting chops as well as her ability to sing stuff other than pop. She is an amazing singer, especially when all of those special effects are taken out of the equation.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy has been a pretty prominent presence on the Top 40 list for a few years now. He released his first single back in 2016 and it jumped up to number 16 on the charts which is a pretty fantastic start. This song, Location, ended up going quadruple platinum and since then, this singer has released a studio album (back in 2017) and an incredible duet alongside Normani which was used for the movie Love, Simon. While the movie may not have been incredibly successful, the song for the soundtrack reached the top ten.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy is not just a solo singer in his music life. He also sings as a member of Black Hippy with Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, and Jay Rock. A bit of a super group of sorts. This guy has made a huge name for himself in the past few seven years or so. He now is the proud owner of 12 Grammy Awards, he was listed as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world one year, according to Time. And one of his albums was the very first in his genre (pretty well of any genre outside of jazz) to get a Pulitzer Prize.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
We are more than pretty sure that everyone is aware of this singer. He has made his way into the news in so many different ways. From music to allegations of abuse to calling people out and harping on about causes at awards ceremonies...he has certainly made it impossible to not know at least a little about him. And some more about him...he has won 21 Grammys, sold over 120 million records, he's hit Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (three times...even if we don't think he quite deserves that).
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Well, there is just no way that people here would not know this guy. I think we might lose a little bit of respect for the person taking a Top 40 artist quiz who does not know who this super famous pop artists who hails from the great white north. This kid started out from nothing more than a YouTube video of him busking on the streets of Stratford Ontario. Since then, he has been in fights, pulled over by the cops in the U.S. for joy riding a Ferrari, he's lost and regained a monkey, and he has actually come into his own as a musician again, in some ways.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer sort of sticks with his own style of reggae but that has not really stopped him from exploring other areas of music with other people. He has made his way into R&B, electro, house and trap music as well. Strangely enough, he has stated that a lot of his musical influence comes from bands like Nirvana and Metallica...not exactly what might be expected by a guy who plays mainly reggaeton music. But an inspiration is an inspiration and so to is an influence, whether or not it can be heard in the music itself. While this guy does predominantly sing in Spanish, he has still managed to work with big names like Sean Paul, and Pharrell Williams.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here we have not only a musician but someone who has also gone out of her way to become an activist of one kind or another and in a fairly involved way, having gone through her own rather saddening events in life. She started out in the big league when she worked with The Chainsmokers back in 2016 and since then, she has been one of the bigger names in the Indie-genre scene when it comes to the top of the pops. Her first track to ever make number one was her hit song Without Me, which came out just this past year.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy hit the charts pretty well right away when he made the music scene. He dropped his track Budapest in 2013 and it made pretty big waves, coming in at number one right away. That is a pretty good start to a life in music. The following year he released his first full album and he made number one across the pond and hit top ten status in several places around the world. Since then, his second studio album has made number one again in the U.K. and has hit the top ten in several countries including the U.S. He is certainly no slouch.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy really hit the big time in the late 90s and has been a huge presence in the rap community now since then. That is 20 years of rapping and taking names, for those who did not piece that together. that's a long time to be in the scene. There is something pretty special about this guy. He has some pretty incredible rap records, especially with the release of his intensely impressive song Rap God. I believe that track landed him a world record. He's done work with Rihanna and, more recently, Ed Sheeran.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This little ginger has been on the scene for quite a few years now and he has been making people cry for just about as long. And that is not crying in a bad way. He just really knows how to get the ladies to tear up to his heartfelt love songs, and they are all pretty solid and they seem to always end up hitting the charts in a big way. Thinking Out Loud, Perfect, Photograph, Kiss Me...there are many more songs and they have all managed to make the charts and so it should not be surprising to find this guy on the Top 40.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here is a pretty recent addition to the Top 40 list of performers out there. This lovely lady essentially started out in the mainstream in 2017 when she won the EBBA Public Choice Award. Not bad when a debut album, with a self-title, out in the U.K. can make awards and produce several singles that all do pretty well in the charts. Since her debut, she has consistently been on the list if not always in the spotlight. She's broken the top 10 a couple of times in the U.K. as well as the U.S. and she even managed to score a number one spot this past year with One Kiss.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Now, we think it is pretty likely that everyone will know this artist even though he hails from one of the southern-most parts of the great white north. Coming from Toronto, this guy has made himself a huge name with ridiculous songs like Hotline Bling. There is something about the way that he dances in those ridiculous sweaters that seems to really draw people to him, even if they don't quite like his music. That being said, he has definitely topped the charts a number of times since Hotline Bling and he's likely not done yet.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer seems to just about do it all. Not only does she spend her time rocking out in a poppy way while also singing R&B, but she is also heavily involved in quite a bit of activism. She helps young kids and teens with mental health, she works on promoting marriage equality, and she has received quite a few awards for her activism work. In addition to that, she has, of course, won awards for her music, including MTV Video Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and People's Choice Awards. And that is not even the whole list.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here is the first singer on this Top 40 list who happens to be from Paris. That's exciting. He first came to prominence in 2002 and while that might seem like a fairly long time ago, he still manages to hit that Top 40 number from time to time. He's sold over nine million albums and all of them have been in some degree of dance, pop and electro. He is a very famous and well-off DJ, record producer and songwriter as well. Apparently, he is even known as the Godfather of EDM. That has got to count for something.
Who is this Top 40 group?
This band is from across the pond and has managed to make a pretty good living with their style of electronic music. They started out back in 2008, which is just over ten years ago now, for those who needed clarification. That being said, it's not like they jumped right to the Top 40 overnight. Either way, that hasn't stopped them from making the climb and they definitely have a spot there now. The band features the work of Luke and Jack Patterson, Grace Chatto, and then there have been numerous people to collaborate with them.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy is one of the bigger names on the Top 40 right now, that is for sure. We are reasonably sure that everyone will have a pretty good idea of just who this is. We would be pretty surprised if most people didn't know. He has been up on charges because of some pretty intense and physical issues with another very famous celeb but most people seem to push that aside and focus on the over 100 million records that he has sold in his time in the mus business. He is one of the world's best-selling musicians right now.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer is probably one of the best in the Top 40 list right now. He has been in the business for along while, mostly having written songs for other people when he started out but now he is the one writing the songs for himself and he produces everything from his own little computer at home. That is a pretty solid feat. He has so many big hits out now thanks to his incredible album called Voice Notes. He has worked alongside a number of great artists like the famous James Taylor and the R&B group, Boyz II Men.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This singer has done a pretty good job as a female rapper. She is only the second woman ever to be a rapper charting in the Top 100, so the fact that she's made the Top 40 is pretty sweet in our books. Lauryn Hill was the only other female rapper to make that goal back in 1998. In addition to all of that, she has actually done a collaboration with Maroon 5 and there are not many who consider rap and Maroon 5 to go together so that has got to perk some people's interest, at least. She's broken through a few streaming records in the worlds.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This girl has been in a number of collaborations and/or groups and while those have all produced a pretty decent level of success, on her own, she has certainly made a better name for herself. She only started in on her own in 2016, which is fairly recent considering how long some of the artists on this list have been in the business. Her very first single was Crying In The Club and while it didn't make that much of a stir in the music industry at first, she pretty quickly made her way up to the Top 40 list. And let's not forget the super hit single, Havana.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This male singer is actually a very interesting person for a few reasons. This guy has been an actor for far longer than he has been a musician or a singer at all. Not until just this past year did he actually get put into training to do any singing at all and somehow he managed to still end up on the Top 40. Now, he's not an aspiring Top 40 artist, but he was in a film with Lady Gaga who has been somewhat of an aspiring actor. They just recently put out a pretty popular film, which is certainly based on a previous production called A star Is Born.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This guy certainly is an interesting artist who happens to be into performing Latin trap music. He is of Puerto Rican descent. He's not just solely a Latin trap artist though. He's also a reggaeton singer. There are only a couple of these sorts of performers on the Top 40 list right now, as it stands. This guy started out with a pretty lowly life as a worker at a supermarket in Puerto Rico and he first made a sort of prominent following based on nothing else but Sound Cloud. That's a pretty sweet way to enter the Top 40, that's for sure.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Well, this sweet little singer is just that...very little. But she is also much more than a singer as well. She started her music life out on Broadway, which is not something that pretty well any of the other Top 40 artists can really say right now, that's for sure. Beyond that, she has also found herself on a variety of shows showing off just how well she can imitate other singers. She has done some Saturday Night Live appearances and plenty of late night tv spots as well. In addition to that, she has even found a little spot on the show Scream Queens.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
Here is a singer who has been nominated for quite a few awards on her side of the pond. She started out mainly making the U.K. charts and topping them out with some pretty big hits that featured singers like Clean Bandit, and Sean Paul. That was a pretty good start, we have to admit. That was back in 2002. However, her debut studio album did not come out until this past year and just from that one album, she has hit the Top 40 and have been nominated back home for four different Brit Awards this coming year.
Who is this Top 40 artist?
This rapper from the U.S. only released his very first studio album two years ago, making him a pretty recent newcomer to the music industry and a pretty quick jumper to the Top 40. He hit the top 20 with his song Bank Account and moved on to his very first number one listing with the track Rockstar, which is actually a Post Malone song (which is surely not a surprise to anyone here considering how often Malone has been featured on the Top 40). When he released his second album, he managed to hit number one for two weeks with it. Not a bad run so far.
Who is this Top 40 group?
This band has managed to release a number of albums thus far and their most recent, titled and featuring their latest hit song Youngblood, is the third album of theirs to hit number one in their home country of Australia. That being said, this does not mean they have done so well in the U.S. That being said, this group is the first Aussie band to top the charts three different times in the U.S. and that has certainly got to count for something. They have now been touring their third successful chart-topper.
Who is this Top 40 group?
This group is probably one of the most famous pop groups out there now. Sure, their star has faded somewhat since they first came out in the early 2000s but that has not stopped them from creating some fantastic hit and fairly regularly topping out on the charts with a new hit. These are the boys who came out with both the love ballad She Will Be Loved as well as the party song Moves Like Jagger...and even the pump-up song One More Night. They are headed by frontman Adam Levine, who is a frequent judge on The Voice!
