From the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen to U2 to Jay-Z to Alicia Keys, they are all there. The main page on artists gives an artist of the day (today happens to be U2) followed by the top 20 artists on the site. There truly is something for everyone on this list, Elvis Presley, the Killers, Chris Brown, Josh Grobin, Linkin Park and Frank Sinatra all occupy the list this month.
