這份是告示牌統計50年來排行成績最好的藝人100位，名字後記注有*符號的是Taki曾經買過他們的專輯，沒想到算算還有65位；其中Toni Braxton、Dion、Alicia Keys、Destiny’s Child、TLC、George Michael、Usher、Whitney Houston、Michael Jackson、Janet Jackson、Mariah Carey、Madonna有他們全部的專輯。

50年，算算是半輩子的光陰，常常覺得自己在娘胎時應該就愛上音樂了；唸高中的時候每個禮拜最重要的事，就是跑去唱片行拿一張最新出爐的單曲HOT 100的榜單，研究榜單比背英文單字還認真! 希望50歲的時候，對音樂還能保持著這份熱忱，50年後，我還能看到Billboard雜誌100年的百大特集!!
