There have been so many different music artists that have tried to make it big in the entertainment industry over the years but not all of them have been able to reach mainstream success. It seems like there is always a new artist trying to make it big in the music industry, as well as millions of music hopefuls that line up to audition for reality singing competition shows. Some of them are able to reach the top at one point but that doesn't exactly guarantee that they will have lasting power in the music industry.
The general public is known for evolving their tastes in music and artists need to be able to grow and evolve with the rest of the world. So many artists will find themselves in the category of one-hit-wonders and many others will find themselves being constantly defined by one or two of their biggest successes. From a debut studio album that just can't seem to be topped to a series of songs that the performer will undoubtedly have to perform at each and every one of their shows, it's interesting how the world can pick favorites with musicians. Let's pick or pass on these musicians and see if we can guess everyone's absolute favorite!
