21 albums by dead people?
metɡɑɭɑ™₆₁₂₅ ʷᵃʳʳ'ºʳˢ ˢᵗʳºⁿᵍ
David Bowie and especially, George Michael in recent decades revolutionized music. Their music is timeless as is their fandom.
Spitfire
Make it 22. Bieber music is dead to me..

Is there someone still alive who really deserves to be on the charts?
metɡɑɭɑ™₆₁₂₅ ʷᵃʳʳ'ºʳˢ ˢᵗʳºⁿᵍ
Yes, a few.
Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie and Debbie Harry. Pet Shop Boys, etc et al.
Sadly radio rejects them due to ageism. Hopefully this will change one day.
L
luca
I agree for Madonna
