Spin is celebrating their 35th anniversary with a list of 35 most influential artists since 1985, with Nirvana taking the top spot because - "these days, you’d be hard-pressed to find a rock band or any modern artist — that’s not inspired in some way by that rowdy trio from Seattle". Lower down the list, among the Top 10, there are Prince, Madonna, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, 2Pac, Run DMC, R.E.M., Public Enemy, and Rage Against The Machine.

A number of musicians - Megan Thee Stallion, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, J Balvin, Halsey, Jennifer Hudson, Yo-Yo Ma, Anaïs Mitchell - made TIME Magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Megan Thee Stallion and The Weeknd also made the covers.
