WASHINGTON: Pop king Michael Jackson has been named the top global music icon of the past 50 years in a poll conducted by CNN.
British pop groupThe Beatles, late Canto pop sensation Leslie Cheung, rock `n` roller Elvis Presley and Reggae godfather Bob Marley also made to the top five.
No female artists made it to the list which had India`s Asha Bhosle in the long list of 20, although US pop queen Madonna came in at number six, narrowly missing a place.
Last month CNN`s arts and culture program, Icon, asked viewers to vote for their top five most iconic musicians of all time.
The list included Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Bob Marley, Celia Cruz, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Arabic superstar Khaled and sufi legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, among others.
