CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rolling Stone recently updated its list of the 200 greatest singers of all time.
While you can find plenty of the usual suspects, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. There was one big name left off the list and her fans aren't happy about it.
According to the magazine, Celine Dion missed the cut. Dion is one of the most accomplished singers with five Grammys and seven of her albums selling at least 10 million copies globally.
Rolling Stone said its parameters were "originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy."
Some other notable snubs include Cher, Janet Jackson and Nat King Cole.
The top 20 are:
- Aretha Franklin
- Whitney Houston
- Sam Cooke
- Billie Holiday
- Mariah Carey
- Ray Charles
- Stevie Wonder
- Beyonce
- Otis Redding
- Al Green
- Little Richard
- John Lennon
- Patsy Cline
- Freddie Mercury
- Bob Dylan
- Prince
- Elvis Presley
