If we're going with just "influential" as in just actual influence in the media, Taylor Swift. If you mean influential to the music industry Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna. The other ones on the list don't come close to those 3.

Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Bessie Smith, Aretha Franklin to name a few.

Sadly, these days most people gauge this by album sales, which are largely meaningless. Most very popular music artists are throwaway garbage. Selling countless albums doesn't equal quality.

At this moment? Taylor Swift. Wait 10 years and it will be someone else.

Swift right now, there are even coloring books of her in Walmart.

[AI Opinion]

Music is subjective, and everyone's taste differs, but I find Beyoncé incredibly influential. Her powerful voice, captivating performances, and unwavering dedication to personal and artistic growth set her apart. She pushes boundaries in both music and social activism, inspiring fans worldwide. 🎤👑

It used to be Madonna, but presently, it's probably Beyonce.
