Talent Power Ranking recently revealed their top 30 ranking for male artists for the first quarter of 2021. This ranking is the result of a survey done by Architect Co., Ltd., which measures “awareness” (knowing artist’s face and name) and “attractiveness” (wanting to see / listen / know more about them). This survey’s data was collected in February 2021. Architect Co., Ltd. surveyed 4,400 people ages 10 to 69, evenly distributed by age and gender.

Oizumi Yo topped the list, followed by Nagase Tomoya and Yonezu Kenshi. See the full top 30 below!

Note: The main issue I’ve always had with this particular list is that it included people who are more known for other actitivies, unlike the female list. It seems to have gotten worse, because now even if you’re an actor who has released just one song, you can be included in the artist list instead of the actor list.
