This was the title given to the late Michael Jackson, forever
the King of Pop. Jackson earned the nickname ‘King of Pop’ after a comment from Elizabeth Taylor.
Officially there is no monarchy for music, and hence no line of succession. Musical monarchies are just a marketing title and have nothing to do with a
ruling class of any sort.
Although Jackson successfully filled this title, becoming the most renowned pop star of all time, Kanye West has jumped
next in line to claim the title, for some bizarre reason.
Michael Jackson is and will always be
the King of Pop.
First there was
Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanye’s time to rule... I am the new King of Pop.
