Rolling Stone magazine has released a list of the 200 greatest singers of all time. The negative reaction from readers came after they noticed that Celine Dion’s name did not appear on the hit list, despite her incredible vocals and tremendous international career.
Rolling Stone said its parameters were “originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy.”
The top 25 singers in Rolling Stone’s rankings are:
Aretha Franklin
Whitney Houston

Billie Holiday
Mariah Carey
Ray Charles
Stevie Wonder
Beyonce

Al Green
Little Richard
John Lennon
