Every coach from 'The Voice,' ranked by success

We ranked all 24 celebrity coaches on "The Voice" from least to most successful, primarily by their streaming numbers.

  • "The Voice" has been on TV for 27 seasons across 14 years.
  • But the big draw isn't the contestants — it's the celebrity coaches.
  • We ranked all 24 coaches from least to most successful, although they've all had mega success.

There have been 24 coaches across 27 seasons of "The Voice" since its premiere in 2011. While the winners haven't all been mega-successful in their music careers, the show still draws in millions of viewers each week.

Much of the appeal is the star power sitting in the rotating seats. Every coach on "The Voice" has sold millions of records, secured hundreds of millions (if not billions) of streams, and won all kinds of recording industry awards.

We've ranked all 24 coaches from least to most successful, with average monthly streams weighing the most. However, we've also taken into account social-media followings, awards, and other career accomplishments — for example, multi-hyphenates like Jennifer Hudson and John Legend are high on this list relative to their streaming numbers. Winning the entertainment industry's most coveted awards will do that!

Here's how these pop legends stack up.

24. CeeLo Green

cee-lo green on the voice

Cee-Lo Green on "The Voice."

CeeLo Green has around 5.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but that number is inflated by his hit single "Forget You."

Green, 49, was a coach for the first three seasons of "The Voice," skipped season four, and then returned a final time for season five in 2013. He never coached a winner.

Green is known primarily for two songs: "Forget You," which hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 and was one of the biggest songs of the year, and "Crazy," which was released in 2006 when Green was working as a duo with DJ Danger Mouse called Gnarls Barkley. "Crazy" also hit No. 2 on the Hot 100.

But both hits were before his time on "The Voice," and he wasn't able to replicate that success with any of his other singles. Green put out an album in 2020, "CeeLo Green Is Thomas Callaway," but it didn't make many waves.

He does have five Grammys to his name: best urban/alternative performance for "Crazy," best alternative music album for "St. Elsewhere," best urban/alternative performance for "Forget You," and best traditional R&B performance and best R&B song for "Fool for You."

Green also has 708,000 followers on Instagram and 1.3 million followers on X.

22. Dan + Shay

Dan + Shay on "The Voice."

Dan + Shay certainly had a moment with their smash hits, including "10,000 Hours," "Tequila," and "Speechless" — but those were all released more than five years ago. Their last album, 2023's "Bigger Houses," only peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 9 on the US Country Albums chart.

Their 2025 single, "Always Gonna Be," failed to chart on the Hot 100 and only reached No. 20 on the Hot Country chart.

Despite their recent semi-slump, Dan + Shay has been successful. They've been nominated for fiveGrammys and havewon three.

Currently, the duo has 1.2 million followers onInstagramand 559,000 followers onX. They also have 8.4 million listeners monthly on Spotify.

Dan + Shay became the first duo to sit in the revolving chairs when they joined "The Voice" for season 25 in 2024, but they lost to Team Reba.

23. Kelsea Ballerini

kelsea ballerini on the voice

Kelsea Ballerini on "The Voice."

Kelsea Ballerini is having a moment right now, but she's still in the early stages of her career.

Ballerini, 31, currently has around 8.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, though her numbers probably got a bump from her excellent EP "Rolling Up the Welcome Mat" and her sixth album "Patterns."

She joined "The Voice" during season 15 in 2018 as part of a new digital show called "The Comeback Stage." Her team did not win. She returned in 2025 for season 27 as a full-time judge.

The country singer has released six albums since 2015 ("The First Time," "Unapologetically," "Kelsea," "Ballerini," "Subject to Change," and "Patterns". The most recent was released in October 2024 and spawned country hits like "Cowboys Cry Too" and "Baggage."

But she's still waiting for her big breakthrough. She was nominated for best new artist at the Grammys in 2017, and she has since been nominated four more times — most recently for best country duo/group performance in 2025.

Ballerini has 4.3 million followers on Instagram and 1.1 million followers on X.

We wouldn't be surprised if Ballerini kept climbing this list.

21. Chance the Rapper

chance the rapper on the voice

Chance the Rapper on "The Voice."

Chance the Rapper took home three Grammys in one night for best new artist, best rap album, and best rap performance … but he's kinda fallen off ever since.

Chance, 31, joined "The Voice" in 2023 and 2025 — but it was not his first time acting as a judge. He was a judge on Netflix's first music competition show, "Rhythm + Flow," in 2019.

Chance steadily climbed the rap ranks after he released his first mixtape in 2012, "10 Day," which he recorded while he was on a 10-day suspension from school. Four years later, he released his third mixtape, "Coloring Book," which received widespread acclaim from music critics and won three Grammys (becoming the first artist to have a streaming-only album win a Grammy).

The "No Problems" rapper has also appeared on a No. 1 song ("I'm the One") and two other top-five songs ("Holy" and "No Brainer"). He released his debut full-length album, "The Big Day," in 2019, which hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (to middling reviews).

He hasn't had a song on the Hot 100 in five years and hasn't released an album since "The Big Day," so we can't put him any higher until he beats the "one-hit wonder" claims.

He currently has about 8.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 19 million followers on Instagram, and 7.5 million followers on X.

20. Blake Shelton

Blake Shelton in 2021.

Blake Shelton on "The Voice."

Blake Shelton was on every season of "The Voice" until 2023, which might be why his music career has taken a bit of a back seat.

Shelton, 48, announced before season 23 began that it would be his final season (for now). And though he's had the best track record of any coach on the show, with nine wins, his personal music isn't as popular as it has been.

The "Boys 'Round Here" singer averages around 10.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, putting him toward the bottom of this list. And while he's had a long career in country music, he hasn't broken through to mainstream pop, unlike other "Voice" coaches.

He had 17 consecutive No. 1 hits on the Country chart, including "Honey Bee," "God Gave Me You," "Drink on It," and "Doin' What She Likes," but not any top 10 hits on the Hot 100.

Shelton's also been nominated for eight Grammys, most recently in 2020 for best country solo performance for "God's Country," though he's never won.

We also can't forget he was (controversially) named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2017.

Shelton has 6.8 million followers on Instagram and 18.8 million followers on X.

19. Michael Bublé

Michael Bublé on "The Voice."

Michael Bublé on "The Voice."

If we were updating this list during the holiday season, Michael Bublé would probably skyrocket to the top of the list, since his Christmas album is a true modern classic.

But, since it's April, the 49-year-old's streaming numbers have settled at a respectable 13.8 million monthly listeners.

While Bublé has sold an admirable number of records, he hasn't found huge success with his singles. Hishighest-chartingnon-holiday song was "Haven't Met You Yet," which peaked at No. 24 in 2009.

He also hasn't released original music in a few years. His last album was 2022's "Higher," which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard 200.

In addition to his five Grammy wins, Bublé also won his first season of "The Voice" in 2024. We'll see if he can earn back-to-back wins this year.

Bublé also has 4.1 million followers on Instagram and 2 million followers on X.

If the "Everything" singer's numbers weren't so seasonally dependent, or if his hits had been more recent, he'd be higher up. For now, though, he sits at No. 19.

18. Nick Jonas

nick jonas on the voice

Nick Jonas on "The Voice."

Nick Jonas is currently appearing on Broadway (though it's not going great) and gearing up for the release of the Jonas Brothers' seventh album this summer.

If you combine 32-year-old Jonas's solo career and his band with his brothers on Spotify, he'd have around 25 million monthly streams, which is why he's this high up (since his solo numbers aren't as high).

After a lull in the early 2010s, he released two solo albums, "Nick Jonas" and "Last Year Was Complicated," which peaked at No. 6 and No. 2, respectively. He also had his first top 10 song with "Jealous." His third solo album, "Spaceman," hit No. 12.

But before long, he reunited with his brothers Joe and Kevin to release 2019's "Sucker," the band's first No. 1 song, and then their album "Happiness Begins," which was their third-consecutive No. 1 album. "Sucker" also got them their second Grammy nomination.

The 2023 album," "The Album," only peaked at No. 3. Their next album, "Greetings From Your Hometown," is due in August 2025.

The "Wings" singer has 35.2 million followers on Instagram and 13.4 million followers on X.

He was part of "The Voice" for seasons 18 in 2020 and 20 in 2021, winning neither.

17. Gwen Stefani

gwen stefani on the voice

Gwen Stefani on "The Voice."

Gwen Stefani mainly remains popular due to early 2000s nostalgia.

Stefani, 55, is a 2000s icon, no doubt about it (and no pun intended). Hits like "Hollaback Girl," "The Sweet Escape," and "Rich Girl" have hundreds of millions of streams, and she still averages 17.8 million listeners monthly.

Over the course of her career, she's won three Grammys, two with No Doubt and one with Eve for their collaboration "Let Me Blow Ya Mind." Her most recent nomination came in 2007.

Stefani now seems like she's more famous for being on "The Voice," which she was part of for seasons seven (2014), nine (2015), 12 (2017), 17 (2019), 19 (2020), 22 (2022), 24 (2023), and 26 (2024) — she won season 19 — and for her relationship with fellow "Voice" coach Blake Shelton, whom she met on the show and married in 2021.

We can't leave off No Doubt, who average 11 million monthly listeners and were a huge part of the '90s. However, they haven't released an album in over a decade. Plus, their 2024 album, "Bouquet," only reached No. 95.

Stefani has 17.8 million followers on Instagram and 2.5 million followers on X.

16. Niall Horan

niall horan on the voice

Niall Horan on "The Voice."

Between his successful solo career and One Direction, Niall Horan is at the top of his game.

Horan, 31, is one of the rare boy band members who has experienced equal success as a solo star and as part of the group — and in his case, One Direction was one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, with four No. 1 albums and one No. 2 album before their break-up in 2015.

He then released his debut single, "This Town," which peaked at No. 20 on the Hot 100 and has 1 billion streams. His follow-up, "Slow Hands," reached 11 (and also passed 1 billion streams). His first solo album, "Flicker," debuted at No. 1 in the US, while his sophomore album, "Heartbreak Weather," peaked at No. 4. His third

Horan's third album, "The Show," was released in 2023 and peaked at No. 2.

If you combine Horan's 13 million listeners with One Direction's 43.3 million — which you could because they're still inextricably linked — there are 56.43 million people listening to Horan's voice every month.

He also has 34.3 million followers on Instagram and 39.5 million followers on X.

The "Heaven" singer joined "The Voice" for season 23 in 2023 and stayed for season 24 the same year. He won both seasons (perhaps speaking to his dedicated fan base).

15. Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg on "The Voice."

Snoop Dogg on "The Voice."

Snoop Dogg is the most iconic rapper to coach on "The Voice."

Snoop, who has 28.94 million monthly listeners on Spotify, was an integral part of the rise of West Coast rappers and has been an important voice in rap since the '90s.

The "Sensual Seduction" rapper has earned three No. 1 hits ("Drop It Like It's Hot," "I Wanna Love You," and "California Gurls") and an additional nine top 10 hits. He's also released three No. 1 albums ("Doggy Style," "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told," and "Tha Dogfather"). His most recent solo album, 2024's "Missionary," peaked at No. 20.

He also has received 16 Grammy nominations, though he's never won. In 2022, he was a key part of the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem.

Snoop has become more than a musician — he's a mogul. He's written cookbooks, acted in movies and on TV, starred in a reality series about his life, owns a wine brand, and was one of the best parts of the 2024 Olympics as a commentator.

The rapper has 88.2 million followers on Instagram and 20.6 million followers on X.

He made his coaching debut during season 26 of "The Voice" in 2024, and his team placed second.

14. Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera on "The Voice."

Christina Aguilera on "The Voice."

Christina Aguilera used "The Voice" to make a pop comeback.

Aguilera, 44, appeared on "The Voice" in seasons one (2011), two (2012), three (2012), five (2013), eight (2015), and 10 (2016). She won her final season. When she joined the cast of "The Voice," she was coming off her 2010 album "Bionic," which was, let's say, underappreciated at the time — there's still a vocal contingent of Xtina fans who demand justice for "Bionic."

But after the show was a hit, she collaborated with her fellow coach, Adam Levine, to release "Moves Like Jagger" in 2011, her first No. 1 single since 2001's "Lady Marmalade" (though she did have top 10 hits like "Beautiful," "Ain't No Other Man," and "Keeps Gettin' Better" in between).

After "Moves Like Jagger," she had a resurgence, scoring two more hits in 2013 with "Feel This Moment" and "Say Something." However, those were her last big hits. Her 2022 album "Aguilera" failed to chart on the Billboard 200, though it did earn a Grammy nomination for best latin pop album. She's also executive-producing a musical version of "Burlesque" that's hitting the West End later this year.

But the love for her persists. She has 30 million monthly listeners, five Grammys, 10.2 million followers on Instagram, and 15.7 million followers on X to her name.

13. Jennifer Hudson

jennifer hudson on the voice

Jennifer Hudson on "The Voice."

Every list has to have an exception, and this one's is Jennifer Hudson. She might not have the streaming numbers, but she is an actual EGOT winner — and the youngest woman to ever do it.

Hudson, 43, was introduced to audiences when she appeared on "American Idol" in 2004. While she didn't win, she's one of the biggest stars to ever appear on the show, and she has been more successful than many winners.

The year after her loss, she was cast in "Dreamgirls" as Effie White, a performance that earned her an Oscar in 2006.

She's released four albums over the course of her career. Two hit No. 2, one hit No. 10, and the most recent, 2024's "The Gift of Love," peaked at No. 160. Her average monthly listener count sits at 1.59 million.

Her two Grammys came from her album "Jennifer Hudson" in 2009, which won best R&B album, and the soundtrack for "The Color Purple," which won best musical theater album in 2017.

Hudson has focused on other ventures beyond singing. She's continued acting, appearing in "Sex and the City," "The Secret Lives of Bees," "Cats," and "Respect." Hudson also began hosting "The Jennifer Hudson Show" in 2022. Perhaps you've seen the clips of guests walking through the spirit tunnel that go viral.

Her Emmy and Tony Awards both came from producing: the Emmy for producing "Baba Yaga" and the Tony for producing "A Strange Loop."

Hudson has 4.4 million followers on Instagram and 3.9 million followers on X.

In terms of "The Voice," she was a coach on season 13 in 2017 and season 15 in 2018. Her team didn't win either season.

12. Bebe Rexha

Bebe Rexha

Bebe Rexha.

Bebe Rexha has parlayed her unique voice in multiple features on smash songs.

You might be wondering how Rexha, 35, is this high up. Check out her streaming numbers, and you'll see why — she averages a whopping 36.15 million listeners a month and is on four songs with over 1 billion streams: "In the Name of Love" (1.57 billion), "Meant to Be" (1.46 billion), "Me, Myself & I" (1.44 billion), and "I'm Good (Blue)" (2 billion).

Her first album, "Expectations," peaked at No. 13, while her 2021 follow-up, "Better Mistakes," only reached 140. Her third album, "Bebe," peaked at No. 132.

Rexha has 12 million followers on Instagram and 2 million followers on X.

Rexha coached during season 16 as an off-screen fifth coach for the "Comeback Stage" in 2019. She did not win.

11. Camila Cabello

camila cabello on the voice

Camila Cabello on "The Voice."

Camila Cabello left Fifth Harmony behind to forge a successful solo career.

Cabello, 28, was already one of the most successful musicians on this list before she began her solo career; Fifth Harmony was one of the best-selling girl groups of all time before their indefinite hiatus began in 2018.

But, Cabello left the group and began her solo career in 2017. That year, she released her first No. 1 single, "Havana," which also has 2.25 billion streams on Spotify. Her next single, "Never Be the Same," reached No. 6.

In 2019, she and her then-boyfriend Shawn Mendes released "Señorita," her second No. 1 song and the 21st-most streamed song on Spotify with 2.9 billion streams. That's the most streamed song by any "Voice" coach. Her most recent album, "C,XOXO" peaked at No. 13 in 2024. Now, she has an average of 43.26 million monthly listeners.

She has 64.3 million followers on Instagram and 12.6 million followers on X. Cabello also has four Grammy nominations.

Cabello made her debut on "The Voice" in season 22 in 2022, losing to Team Blake. She hasn't returned since.

10. Kelly Clarkson

kelly clarkson on the voice

Kelly Clarkson on "The Voice."

Kelly Clarkson went from winning the first season of "American Idol" to coaching on "The Voice."

Clarkson, 42, has been a fixture on TV since her 2001 win on "American Idol." She joined "The Voice" during season 14 in 2018 and remained until season 21 in 2021. She skipped season 22 but returned for season 23. She's won the competition four times.

She's also been hosting "The Kelly Clarkson Show" since 2019, wowing viewers with her signature "Kellyoke" segment, where she sings covers of popular songs.

But on her own, Clarkson has been one of the biggest pop stars of the last two decades. She's released 10 albums, eight of which have reached the top three of the Billboard 200. Her most recent album, 2023's "Chemistry," peaked at No. 6.

She's also the first artist in history to top each of Billboard's pop, adult contemporary, adult pop, country, and dance charts.

Clarkson has also had three No. 1 songs, with eight additional top 10 hits, three Grammys from 17 nominations, and eight Daytime Emmys for her talk show. Currently, she averages 18.8 million monthly listeners.

The "Since U Been Gone" singer has 7.7 million followers on Instagram and 11.4 million followers on X.

9. Alicia Keys

alicia keys on the voice

Alicia Keys on "The Voice."

Alicia Keys has been a star in the music industry for two decades.

Keys, 44 burst onto the scene in 2001 with her debut album, "Songs in A Minor," which could be considered one of the best debut albums of all time; it earned her five Grammys, hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, has been certified platinum seven times, and has a No. 1 single, "Fallin'."

Since then, Keys has kept up the musical excellence, with four more No. 1 albums, a No. 2 album, and three more No. 1 songs. In 2009, Billboard even named her the fifth-best artist of the decade and the second-best female artist, only behind Beyoncé. Keys also has 17 Grammys to her name.

Her more recent albums haven't fared as well, with her 2021 album, "Keys," peaking at No. 41.

However, Keys has found success outside the pop music world. In 2024, the musical "Hell's Kitchen" debuted on Broadway. It's a jukebox musical that uses Keys' music and is semi-based on her life. It was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, including best musical.

Currently, Keys is averaging 31.98 million listeners monthly.

Keys has 27.5 million followers on Instagram and 28.8 million followers on X.

She joined "The Voice" for seasons 11 and 12 in 2016 and 2017, took a break, and then returned for season 14 in 2018. Her team won season 12.

8. Pharrell Williams

pharrell williams on the voice

Pharrell Williams on "The Voice."

Pharrell Williams has produced multiple hits and recorded some of his own.

It's impossible to separate Williams, 51, from his producing career, even though he is a talented and successful musician in his own right — remember "Happy" from "Despicable Me"? That song has 1.54 billion streams on Spotify currently, and the song "Feels" he appears with Katy Perry, Big Sean, and Calvin Harris has also crossed the billion mark.

Overall, he has 33.47 million monthly listeners.

But, production-wise, Williams has worked with what seems like every big star on the planet: Kid Cudi, Mumford & Sons, Miley Cyrus, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Jack Harlow, Rosalía, SZA, Doja Cat, Childish Gambino, Madonna, Ariana Grande, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Camila Cabello, Janelle Monáe … and that's just the last seven years.

We didn't even mention"Blurred Lines," which is sitting pretty at over 920 million streams as well.

So, even though Williams' solo hits aren't as numerous as some of his peers' hits, his résumé speaks for itself, with 13 Grammys from 39 nominations. He's genuinely one of the most important producers of the 21st century.

His animated Lego biopic (yes, you read that right) "Piece by Piece," also garnered positive reviews.

Williams has 15.4 million followers on Instagram and 10.2 million followers on X.

In terms of "The Voice," he appeared in seasons seven through 10 from 2014 to 2016, winning season eight.

7. Usher

usher on the voice

Usher on "The Voice."

Usher is an R&B legend.

Usher, 46, is the most successful R&B musician to appear on "The Voice," with 41.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, nine No. 1 singles, and eight Grammys from 24 nominations. In 2009, Billboard ranked him the No. 2 artist of the decade (only behind Eminem) and the No. 1 Hot 100 artist of the decade.

However, the 2010s and 2020s haven't been as lucrative, though the "Yeah!" singer is still successful.

While his 2010 and 2012 albums, "Raymond v. Raymond" and "Looking 4 Myself," respectively, topped the Billboard 200, his 2024 album "Coming Home" peaked at No. 2, and he's only had two singles reach the Hot 100 in the 2020s (and neither went higher than No. 25).

However, Usher's 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show and his headline-making Vegas residency proved that he's an all-time entertainer.

Usher has 13.4 million followers on Instagram and 11.4 million followers on X.

He only coached two seasons of "The Voice," four and six in 2013 and 2014, winning season six.

`6. John Legend

john legend on the voice

John Legend on "The Voice."

John Legend is also an EGOT, but he has some pop hits to his name, too.

Legend, 46, is the second EGOT winner to join "The Voice." His wins are as follows: an Emmy for producing "Crow: The Legend," 13 Grammys across his career, including best new artist and multiple best R&B album wins, an Oscar for the song "Glory" in the movie "Selma," and a Tony for producing the play "Jitney."

While Legend has never had a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, eight have charted. Most recently, his 2022 album, "Legend," peaked at No. 59. His 2024 album, a children's album, is the only one not to reach the Billboard 200.

Most of Legend's streaming numbers, which are currently averaging 23.8 million listeners per month, are related to his inescapable 2013 hit "All of Me," which is closing in on 2.7 billion streams on Spotify. That means it comes in at No. 42 among the most streamed songs of all time on the platform.

Legend was also named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2019.

He has 15.8 million followers on Instagram and 12.9 million followers on X.

The "Ordinary People" singer was on "The Voice" from seasons 16 to 22 (2019 to 2022), then season 24 (2023), season 25 (2024), and season 27 (2025). He won his first season, but since then, none of his teams have crossed the finish line.

5. Reba McEntire

Reba McEntire on "The Voice."

Reba McEntire on "The Voice."

Until recently, our big exception to the streaming rule was just Jennifer Hudson — that is until Reba McEntire joined "The Voice" in 2023 for season 24. She stayed through season 26 in 2024 and won season 25.

A rule of thumb: Even if your streaming numbers are low (an average of 2.5 million monthly), you still get to be high on this list if you're known mononymously or have been nicknamed the Queen of Country.

McEntire, 70, is one of the pioneers of modern country music and has sold over 75 million albums. She's had 24 No. 1 country songs, 60 top 10 country songs, and 13 No. 1 country albums.

She also starred in her own iconic sitcom from 2001 to 2007 ("Reba") and recently began starring in another one, "Happy's Place, which has already been renewed for a season two.

Additionally, she's been nominated for 17 Grammys, winning three.

As of April 2025, McEntire has 2.9 million followers on Instagram and 2.3 million followers on X.

4. Miley Cyrus

miley cyrus the voice

Miley Cyrus on "The Voice."

Miley Cyrus has been running the game since she made her Disney Channel debut in 2006.

Cyrus, 32, has experienced a level of stardom known only to a few people in pop music right now — and she's been navigating it since she was a pre-teen on the Disney Channel.

Since her debut album in 2007, aptly titled "Meet Miley Cyrus," all but one of her albums has reached the top five, including her most recent work, "Endless Summer Vacation," which hit No. 3 upon its release in March 2023. If you count her EPs, that's two more top five works.

She's also had 13 top 10 hits on the Hot 100, including two No. 1 songs, "Wrecking Ball" and "Flowers" in 2023. While not a chart-topper, "Party in the USA" has garnered 1.83 billion streams on Spotify. "Flowers" is already over 2.48 billion. In fact, she's got at least six songs with over 1 billion streams.

She also has the ability to jump from genre to genre, from pop to hip-hop, to country to rock, and back to pop. According to Billboard, she's the ninth-greatest female artist of all time.

She's also been nominated for nine Grammys, winning three.

In addition to her 52.56 million monthly listeners, Cyrus has 213 million Instagram followers and 45.7 million followers on X.

Cyrus appeared on "The Voice" in seasons 11 (2016) and 13 (2017), though she didn't win either season.

3. Adam Levine

adam levine on the voice

Adam Levine on "The Voice."

Adam Levine's success with Maroon 5 has rocketed him toward the top of this list.

Levine, 46, has been the front man of Maroon 5 since its inception in 2001. Since then, the band has released seven albums, all of which have reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 (two hitting No. 1).

They've also had four No. 1 hits ("Makes Me Wonder," "Moves Like Jagger," "One More Night," and, most recently, "Girls Like You" in 2018), with another 11 top 10 hits.
