The General View is probably:

Queen = Madonna
King = Michael Jackson

Princess = Britney Spears
Prince = Justin Timberlake

Do you agree with this? I personally have no idea why Justin Timberlake is regarded with any sort of honorific title as he's only had 2 albums.

Who do you think are the royal family/Who are your royal family?

Madonna-GOD OF POP!

Queen-Britney
King-Elvis

Princesses-Christina,Gwen,Rihanna,Janet Jackson,Kylie and P!nk
Prince-Justin Timberlake,Ne-Yo,Michael Jackson(controversial!)

Jesters-Gaga, 'cause no matter what she'll wear something funny! & Cyndi Lauper,Cher and Grace Jones

that is my ideal ^^^^

the real one-

Queen-MADONNA
King-MJ

Princess-BRITNEY/Kylie(always mentioned so deserve a tie,Kylie's 4 decades and Britney's 100 million and icon of a generation)

Prince-Justin

I'd go with the general view:

King - MJ
Queen - Madonna
Prince - Justin Timberlake
Princess - Britney

My current 'royal family of pop' though is:

King - Jason Derulo
Queen - Lady Gaga
Prince - Justin Bieber
Princess - Pixie Lott or........ Rachel Furner perhaps?!

Can I put a cheeky spin on this?

We've actually had artists with all the names:-

Queen - Freddie Mercury & Co (plus Queen Latifah).
King - hits included 'Love & Pride' and 'Taste of Your Tears'.
Prince - shortest man in music?
Princess - Songs such as 'Say I'm Your No 1' and 'I'll Keep On Loving You'.

Plus we also have Fergie with 'Big Girls Don't Cry'.
'Dirty Diana' courtesy of Michael Jackson
That duo who had 'Would I Lie To You' - Charles & Eddie

Quite a royal list.

Yikes!

*Queen Madonna reaches the grand old age of 100 and dusts down her zimmer frame. She gives up her throne and passes it on to Prince Justin Bieber!*

Be afraid - be very afraid!

You have me rocking back and forth at the thought of The Bieber being put on a thrown that isn't of his own making

That is it. There is no Prince tbh, and those rankings will never change, madonna will always be the Queen, Michael always the King and Britney always the Princess - no artists will come close to these three in terms of sales and iconic status in the generations to come.

Yeah, I agree. But the people mentioning Elvis, he is just `The King` isn`t he?

I agree that the royal trinity of Madonna, MJ and Britney will never change. The titles were created for them and upon their deaths there won't be any upgrading or replacing. It's done.

Even if someone like Lady Gaga becomes one of the biggest stars in pop and totally outshines Britney, I don't see it changing.

Queen- Madonna

Princess - Lady Gaga/Kylie (when you think about it..Kyle has always had that title)
Prince - Maybe Justin Timberlake...DEFFIANTLY NOT BIEBEER!

I also agree with this post. Hate it when people say JT is the Prince of Pop... I honestly don't see it

The King and/or Queen reign supreme even after they're deceased, therefore princes and princesses are of no significance.

King - MJ
Queen - Madonna, I guess

My King is Prince.
He is the only solo artist that I'd give such a title!... so I don't have a queen etc.

Me too, but this is a pretty American view if you ask me. From a more balanced global point of view, I believe Kylie should at least be a Grand Duchess.

Justin as prince, no


Maybe Usher? I mean he has a long career spanning 15 years and has quite impressive sales for the majority of his albums.

By the way, britney hasn't reached 100 million records. She has sold about 85 million records which it's self is huge and she had already sold 30 million before she was old enough to legally drink alcohol.

I would agree that Usher is more prince than Justin. Justin could have been but he hasn't released enough material. Usher has been pretty constant.
