Wondering who are the most popular celebrities in 2020? I made a list of really surprising names. Let me also mention that the names on the list have emerged as a result of my internet research. They are not necessarily names that I personally admire. Although I have favorites among them, some of them are not of interest to me. Here the top 20 celebrities in 2020:
1.
Kanye West
Kanye has gained a lot of popularity over the years,
but he gained the most in 2020. Not only because of his outbursts, his
relationship with Kim K., or his bizarre rants, it was because of his sudden
decision to be the next president. It’s quite hilarious. Even though he lost,
he at least tried.
2. Will
Smith
I mean, I think we all know why he is so popular at
the time. He is a great actor, rapper, and overall a very talented man. People
will never get bored with him. There is also a new sequel to the 90’s movie “Bad
Boys”, which goes by the name of “Bad Boys for Life”, in which he plays the
main role.
3. Ellen
DeGeneres
Ellen was always a famous television host. She starred
in a few movies and even had her own sitcoms Ellen and The Ellen Show. She also
started her own record and production companies. But her reputation went
downhill when The Ellen DeGeneres show was investigated for being a hostile
workplace. I also enjoy watching Ellen DeGeneres show.
4. Harry
Styles
Harry Styles has had a successful carrier after the
split-up of the famous band One Direction. He even starred in a movie, Dunkirk,
where he could show that he had more talent than just singing. But in 2020, he
was being horribly mugged on the streets of London, which, of course, made
headlines.
5. The
Weeknd
The Weeknd is very popular in the R&B music world.
He had many number one singles like Can’t Feel My Face and The Hills and has
also collaborated with people such as Drake or Ed Sheeran, some of the biggest names
in music. Besides that, he has also won several awards like the Grammy
Award or the American Music Awards and was nominated for an Oscar for his Fifty
Shades of Grey soundtrack.
6. John
Legend
John Legend really is a one-of-a-kind singer. He made songs
like All of Me, which will probably live on forever. He released seven studio
albums and won ten Grammy Awards, along with an Oscar and a Golden Globe for
co-writing the song Glory from the film Selma. He is married to the model
Chrissy Tiegen and they have two beautiful children together.
7. Kim
Kardashian West
There’s no time when Kim Kardashian isn’t trending.
Kim’s popularity has grown after the launch of Keeping Up With the Kardashians
but also because of the numerous controversies circulating the web. She has
also created workout DVDs, her own clothesline, book, mobile game, emojis, KKW
Beauty line, perfume, and shapewear. She also donates a lot to charities and
helped release Alice Johnson from prison.
8. Britney
Spears
Britney Spears is an iconic pop star who has been in
the limelight since the 1990s. She has released pop bangers like Hit Me Baby
One More Time, but also made headlines for her many breakdowns. She is dubbed
the “Princess of Pop” and has had global success with her pop tracks, selling
over 100 million records worldwide. Britney has won over 100 awards throughout
her carrier.
The pop star has also topped the list for most
searched celebrity 7 times in 12 years for her music and her personal life.
9. Cardi
B
Cardi B managed to gain a lot of popularity in just a
few years. But the star’s private life is also very interesting and often grabs
headlines like stories about her ex-husband or celebrity feuds.
Cardi was the first female rapper to reach Billboard’s
hot 100 and she also collaborated on a clothesline with Fashion Nova.
1 Kylie Jenner
Kylie is famous for being a part of the Kardashian
Clan but also for transforming her look constantly and becoming a mother at a
very young age. She is also very successful in the cosmetics industry,
constantly inspiring young ladies with her style.
She has been named the World’s youngest Self-Made
billionaire at the age of 22, but a lot of people criticize the “self-made”
title.
Kylie has also invested in her Lip-Kit and merchandise
empire which is very successful at the time.
Justin Bieber
Justin didn’t always have it easy in his carrier. He
had a lot of ups and downs, but he eventually made it to the top. He was also
the youngest artist to achieve over five no.1 US albums.
He is selling more than 150 million records and is
dubbed one of the world’s best-selling music artists, but he was once also
called the “most hated person in the world”.
Drugs and his relationship with Selena Gomez led him to depression, but
his state got better in recent years, where he focused more on his music
and his well-being.
Demi Lovato
She started her career on the Disney Channel when she
was a teenager. She has been very open with her addiction and mental health
issues, especially in her documentary.
Demi is well known for her drug addiction and her
alcohol problems, but also for her music. She found success in Disney’s Camp
Rock sequels, then moved on to singing and have produced six albums and won
numerous awards since then.
1 Beyonce
It was always clear that Beyonce was a superstar, and
she has proven that with her solo career. More than just creating music, she
creates art with her extraordinary and groundbreaking ways of delivering
entertainment.
She was the first female artist to win 6 Grammy Awards
in one night and to chart 12 songs on Billboard’s 100.
Beyonce doesn’t share a lot of her personal life, but
stories about her relationship with Jay-Z and how she keeps up with her 3
children are circulating around the web.
Leonardo DiCaprio
He is one of the most recognizable men in Hollywood.
He isn’t really starring in the latest movies, but his performances in major
blockbusters like Titanic will live on forever. He won his first Oscar in 2016
for his role in The Revenant, but he was also nominated a lot of times in 2020
for his great performance as Rick Dalton in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Leonardo is also well known in the “meme” community
for being the face of many memes. He supports charities and regularly promotes
environmental awareness.
Rhianna
Rhianna made her debut at the young age of 16 with her
single, Pon De Replay, and took the world by storm. Everyone fell in love with
her, including the artist Chris Brown, who allegedly beaten and bruised Rhianna
in their relationship. The two eventually split. But even after the intense
relationship, Rhianna’s talent kept improving.
She won several awards including 9 Grammys and created
some of the best music videos around. She is also the creative director of her
Fenty x Puma collab, owner of Fenty Savage Lingerie, her Fenty Beauty Line and
LVMH.
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is known for his chart-topping hits and his
breath-taking vocals, but most of the time, his success goes unnoticed due to
his humble and mellow appearance. He received 4 Grammy Awards and has also
performed for the Queen of England.
His rare public appearances have made him one of the
most famous celebrities in 2020. Ed also married his childhood friend and high
school classmate Cherry Seaborn in January 2019 and they had a baby together in
2020.
Miley Cyrus
She was a former Disney child actress who followed her
father’s footsteps of becoming a star. But the masses were shocked when Miley
admitted her love for twerking, exhibitionism, and adoration for marijuana,
which was unlike her clean childhood persona.
Miley has produced some hit singles like Wrecking
Ball. Music is still the reason why many people love her but her dating
history has also been a highlight of her fame. She married her boyfriend Liam
Hemsworth, but their romance came to an end when they divorced in 2019.
Lady Gaga
Ever since standing in the limelight, Lady Gaga has
really stunned us with her extravagant attire. But she also is a great vocalist
and has a creative mind.
She won eleven Grammys, which, again, shows us how
talented she is. She also starred in the 2018 movie; A Star is Born. She even
has her own merch, a perfume line and she recently launched a cosmetics line,
Haus Laboratories.
Taylor
Swift
Taylor is
called the highest-paid celebrity in 2019 and with 300 awards including 10
Grammys, it’s easy to see why. She is a real music legend.
But she
doesn’t keep all the money, she likes to give it back to her community. Taylor
often donates large sums of money to causes that are close to her heart, like a
donation of $15.500 to a fan whose mother had been in a coma for five years.
She also has
a reputation for being a diva in the showbiz world. She’s also famous for
dating different popular guys and writing songs about them.

going around, that she used plastic surgery on her body, specifically on her
