His latest triumphs include emerging as one of TikTok's most influential users, boasting the 11th overall biggest account on the video-sharing platform and the 4th most followed male.

A$AP Rocky Championed by fellow rapper Drake and The Fader magazine before he released his first full-length project, self-proclaimed hood outcast A$AP Rocky became one of the biggest breakout stars of the 2010s. When the decade was over, the rapper had a pair of number one albums with Long.Live.A$AP (2013) and At.Long.Last.A$AP (2015), and a Top Ten entry with third LP Testing (2018). Supported by A$AP Mob and eager collaborators ranging from Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz to Skepta and Skrillex, Rocky himself has assisted with hits headlined by Selena Gomez ("Good for You"), G-Eazy ("No Limit"), and Famous Dex ("Pick It Up"). A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Athelaston Mayers and also known as Lord Flacko, gave up slinging drugs in his native Harlem and started rapping after he moved to Elmwood Park, New Jersey. David Guetta In 2020, David Guetta hosted a series of livestreams titled United At Home which saw him raise over $1.7 million in COVID-19 relief while breaking a Guinness World Record for the most watched DJ set on Facebook. The shows hosted from Miami, New York and the Louvre in Paris attracted over 75 million viewers. Last year also saw him being crowned as The World's No.1 DJ, winning DJ Mag's annual Top 100 DJs poll for the second time — almost a decade after he first took the No.1 spot in 2011. "When Love Takes Over," the first single of his 2009 album 'One Love', hit #1 in the UK, the Guetta-produced Black Eyed Peas song "I Gotta Feeling" became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in 17 countries. Over the decade since, Guetta's success has been off the charts. Globally, he's racked up over 50 million record sales, whereas his total number of streams is over 10 billion. He has received numerous Platinum and Gold certifications and was voted the world's #1 DJ twice, he was named 'EDM Power Player' by Billboard and won two Grammy Awards out of six nominations. — SG
