Cardi B is not black how is the list developed, who has does the research for these things??… it is a travesty especially as this is supposed to be the history channel.
Is Cardi B black?
Cardi B is black???
Where’s nicki stop playin’
Mariah really!?? How about Whitney, seriously!??!! Who's list is this anyway? There are a lot more deserving artists today then your list of favorite!!! Come on!! So sad not to give at least a few nof those artists recognition!
Thriller is not one of but is the biggest selling album of all time and it's not even close.
Michael Jackson is the greatest
Cardi B are y'all serious ????…
Hi Drake, Mariah, & cardi b are biracial they are not black. Please update this with actually black artist, this is important.
How they gonna leave prince out
Is Cardi B black? Didn’t she mention how black artists are getting black balled working with her — doesn’t that imply she doesn’t consider herself black
I think the title for this should be Top Selling Black Artists in Every Decade. My definition of musician is someone who can create, write, and play music. As great as Michael Jackson was, and he was great. Legendary as a matter of fact, but he needed people to play and create the majority of the music he did. When you say musician, I think Prince, who wrote, created, produced and played his music. To me that's a musician IMHO.
Michaeljackson the LEGEND ?? The Greatest entertainer of all time GOAT..?????
I think we all know who will be for the 80s ?
michael jackson is the greatest
Excuse me, where is RiRi?
Michael Jackson was on another level, no one comes close, MJ changed the world music, …he is greater than all of them… Michael Jackson still the king ?, stop comparing him ,
MJ the greatest of all… worldwide success, superstar since his childhood…King of kings??,
Beyoncé sales are over 200M ? but she hasn’t updated globally in god knows when
BEYONCÉ LEGEND
guess it's time to pander
HE was one of the most of the beautiful humans on earth destroyed by the media and inconceivable amount of media pressure to not be him self. that is just my oipnion
I am nobody but I met BOE Didiley in his studio in Belen N.M.
want music not talk
Where’s Nicki ?
P.S. On my list of "I don't believe your list," is the omission of Whitney. My apologies. Due to my outrage, the numerous #1 artists escape me. And, I am white.
What happened to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Jackie Wilson, ***Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix? You call this a comprehensive anthology of iconic black artists? Think again!!
Narrator: 'Go ahead, we'll wait"
Me: ???
Giving this a thumbs down just cause you skipped Whitney. SMH ?????
Whitney would have been queen of the 90's if it wasn't for drugs.
Cardiovascular Bronchitis is not Black! Disliked!
Powerful statement of music making money and enjoying a good life hopefully all of the great did that
How can you miss Louis Armstrong? Did you serious look into the history on Music? He is the main source for the delopment of music…..black and White.
is Cardi b black?
Queen Bae I love ??
Very good in music
Duke has a good promoters to always promote his music… This is what are young musicians lack promotion… They have all the tools around them but still lack promotion
Its a wonder these folks never heard of Louis Armstrong.
Queen Bey legend !! period .
My fellow Whites, stfu and just watch the video. We would not be where we are musically today without contributions from Black musicians. (Like name the last time you listened to a whole Mozart concerto or Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Bet you can't) Anyway, they shaped our music. I know it, and you know it. Don't get your sheets in a wad just because the video has the word "Black" in the title, and keep your crosses out of my yard.
After this i realise in 19 people focus on talent and become famous and after that majority focus on body you know what iam saying and get views for that i really miss mj era ??
Wtf!!!!! Cardi B is NOT a black woman. Dislike and am unsubscribing from this nonsense.
QUEEN BEE ??????
Tupac 1990 to forever
boring recycled content every february
Mariah Carey isn’t black even if she is she isn’t
devil work
?? 71 racist who hate black people and black history month disliked this video.
African-american entertainers have been prominent and influential going all the way back to the days of minstrel shows and speakeasys, whether you know it or like it or not. They created the blues and were early pioneers in rock and roll. You wouldn't have Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynard without them. If you can't tolerate that don't listen to them anymore. And don't use phrases like "what's up" or give people a high five.
How black can you get
Hey History. You forgot Nicki Minaj, and the king of Alternative R&B The Weeknd, and the greatest guitar player that ever lived, Jimi Hendrix.
