Greatest Singles Male Artists of All Time

[DiscoHeaven23 35,007]

Billboard released their list of the greatest male SINGLES artists of all time. Below you will find that list. The list isn't based on opinion, its based on numbers. I've also taken it upon myself to include the year the artists had their first song enter the Billboard Hot 100, followed by how many top 10's and #1's they each have. Features are included in these numbers, however I'm not entirely sure Billboard included features (they usually do though) to create the list. Artists that debuted from 1990 and on are in BOLD. 

Please don't move this to another thread. I worked hard on this and would cry as hard as Gaga did at the end of The Monster Ball tour. Thanks
