- They conquered music as a boy band member, and encountered all kinds of success going solo. Welcome to MsMojo and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 boy band members that made it big solo. Subscribe►►ua-cam.com/users/MsMojo?sub_c... Facebook►► / mswatchmojo Twitter►► / mswatchmojo Instagram►► / mswatchmojo
For this list, we’re looking at former or current members of boy bands who’ve expanded their musical catalogue by launching successful solo careers, all while departing or remaining within the band. Just to be clear, a boyband is considered as a group where all members typically sing and perform in a choreographed manner which means that while subject to rabid fangirl pandemonium we will not be including the Beatles.

The *FACT* that people often forget that
Michael Jackson came from a _Legendary Band_ "JACKSON 5" reflect how famous he is as Solo Artist
Exactly like Jackson 5 was one of the biggest things in black entertainment back then but MJ crossed every limit and is probably the greatest entertainer ever.
1. Jack Glinsky
2. David Guetta
3. Nick Jonas And Jisso
4. Kai And Madylin Bailey
5. Gerard Way And Julia Wu
5. BTS And Ariana Grande
6. Flo Rida And Taeyeon

12. Fall Out Boy

@@therock3640 The Jackson 5 was more than just one the biggest things in black entertainment. They were a sensation world wide. They literally performed before the Queen of England. They are legend group that has been inducted into The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. They still have millions of fans worldwide.
How many people came here just to see Michael Jackson take the number one spot
Harry, Louis, Niall, Liam, Zayn - extra section - each of them has done it // 100% success rate
Harry and Zayn are the only two successful one after the split
Dulce Harry and Zayn have iconic names.
Louis, Niall and Liam have released many hit singles tho.
This Town
Slow Hands
No Judgement
Nice To Meet Ya
Walls
Back To You
Just Hold On
Familiar
Strip That Down
For You
etc..
@@darcyrose7849 Liam's album flopped big time, peak it charted was at 17 in the Uk and everywhere else it was 50 or over. Louis' best charting song was with Steve Aoki 3 years ago and his album didn't even sell 10% of what Harry's worst performing album sold. Nial's first album did well but he hasn't had a single in the top 10 since 2017. If we take it a step farther Zayn is starting to flop as well his album couldn't reach top 20 in any country.
As for singles Louis hasn't had a single chart since Back to You in 2017, Zayn since Let Me in 2018, Liam since For You in 2018 and Nial peaked at 97 on his latest single. They're falling off. Harry rn is the only one who has a steady career ahead and a growing fanbase. The rest tried to ride the 1d wave but the wave can only take them so far.
For chart positioning i used the US chart, theyre signed under us record labels and meant to promote in the us
this video is from 2016.
Niall*
I was like "Who is more successful than Justin Timberlake?" Yes. I did in fact facepalm when I realized who it was XD
+Sabrina i did the same thing! lol
Annica Harris Saaame
My mom doesn't care for him, and she grew up in the 80s. It's kinda sad, really.
He became really massive and successful that people forgot his past boyband days in Jackson 5.
Haha...me too!
Michael Jackson was for sure gonna be #1. Let's be honest here
He's inspirational
Right! The king 👑
Cassandra Lindmark was he in a band I just know him and his family and some songs cuz not a fan
Cassandra Lindmark yep
@@heilisverlin4772 exactly my reaction as well!!! LOL
Zayn, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, are you seeing a theme?
I am completely satisfied that Michael Jackson was number 1! As soon as he was mentioned my whole body had chills all over
Thought that was just me 😍😍😍😍
It could never be anyone else
@@tiffiebrownie4780 same
I clicked knowing he’d be number one I just wanted to confirm it
I clicked knowing he’d be number one I just wanted to confirm it
It wouldn’t make sense for anyone else to be number 1 aside from Michael. King of Pop, Rock and Soul 🙌🏽
Pretty sure no one can argue with #1 lol. The man that every boy band member models their career after.
Chile, we all knew MJ was gonna be number one. No one gonna take that spot, ever,lol!
I love how now every member of One Direction could be on this list.
Lauren Stanciel exactly
Does Louis have solo work out? I haven't heard any of his music like I have the other four members.
He actually has some pretty good songs out. I absolutely love Just Hold On. And it topped some charts. It's a great song. Then again, Louis has always been a fantastic songwriter, writing many of the 1D songs along with Liam.
Louis and Liam aren't anywhere close to what Zayn, Harry and Niall have achieved as solo artists. Louis hasn't released anything good and Liam has released one good song since. So, to say all of them deserve to be on the list is a joke.
@@shannon8269 of course because they dont have an album yet
I came here just to see Michael Jackson first. It couldn't be otherwise. He started from the Jackson 5 and became the greatest of all time when he went solo.
It was so obvious that MJ would take the top spot, who else. He will always be #1. He's the King of Pop for a reason!!
1. Michael Jackson
2. Justin Timberlake
3. Bobby Brown
My top 3.
Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson is something else.. How legendary...
Don't mind me I'm just stopping by to make sure MJ is number one :)
I knew Michael was gonna be number 1! He's one of my favorite artists of all time! Rest in peace
I knew Michael Jackson would've been number 1. It was so obvious
jadi campbell ikr it was sooo obvious
Obviously
Michael Jackson is my favorite artist of all time and I'm so happy you put him first
Jordain Addis mj is my favorite too
@@jasonvoorhees1765 same
He had to. It is what every one thought when they clicked on the video
Yaaaaas
I knew MJ would be on #1 as soon as I saw the title.
Who else knew MJ was gonna be #1?
me
Everybody that’s not a retard
@@brianlogsdon4824 *OR* who just simply forgot that he was in a boy band since his Solo career was just too powerful.
The Jackson 5 was the biggest boyband in the history of music
@@brianlogsdon4824 MJ is the biggest solo act ever
Jesse McCartney from Dream Street should at least be an honorable mention imo.
CC McLagan totally agree! He was huge for a while! I remember loving him as a kid lol
Who? I’m 38 I’ve never heard of him. I guess if you told me the song or a hit I might
I didn't know he was in a group. Beautiful Soul Brian Logsdon. I'm 32.
@@krystalreynolds9462 he's also done work with some DC comics TV cartoon shows and as well as Disney's kingdom hearts video games series
I knew Michael would make it to number one!!! Yay!!!!
How is Donny Osmond not on this list? One of the most successful solo careers after leaving The Osmonds and still going strong after all these years.
Top 2 was pretty obvious. After all, Michael Jackson is one of, if not the greatest artist of all time and Justin Timberlake is one of the greatest artists in modern times.
yes I love Justin Timberlake he's amazing

@@richardgrace4500 I'd like you to fuck off
@@richardgrace4500 What are you talking about?
Michael Jackson, you're an inspiration to us all.
MJ is just the ULTIMATE male solo artist----EVER!!
Where is zayn atleast honourable mention? .... he was the first uk arrist to debut #1 song and #1 album on billboard
There are so many great artist but The KING of pop is as much an icon today as then.
Once again the UNDISPUTED King Of Pop Michael Jackson is number 1. Got it right Mojo
Michael Jackson is a legend
I only watched this video to make sure Michael Jackson was #1 and to make sure Bobby Brown and Justin Timberlake were on this list if not I was gonna be pissed
Bobby Brown probably would've even had a BIGGER solo career, if he hadn't TRADED it to become 'Mr. Whitney Houston' in the early 1990s. After they got married, her career just DEVOURED his and he started just living in her SHADOW. But hey, Whitney didn't FORCE him to marry her!
If they was not than just get pissed like that would change or the person that made this list would care i mean this is there opinion and they have the right to their opinions and so what if people don't agree with it
Same. I literally while watchin this was like "Bitch! If MJ not on this shit Ima start trippin trippin."😂 and trippin trippin is a different type of trip
One of 1D members should be in this vida
I didn’t watch the vid till the end soo yea
Hunny, this video was released in 2016.
No!
We all knew who would be the top 3... I mean it was no contest!! ':D
Michael Jackson is #1 before I see the entire video
Knew MJ had to be #1! Love that my Lionel got his just do....even if he should've been listed a little higher.
MICHAEL JACKSON FROM THE JACKSON 5 IS THE BEST HE IS THE KING OF POP
Michael Jackson from the Jackson 5? Like we wouldn’t know who he was unless you said Jackson 5?
@@brianlogsdon4824 cause he was extremely famous as solo star, so he deserves number 1 at this list
Jackson 5 & MJ; made the Blueprint that the industry follows.
Technically speaking Nick Jonas shouldn't have qualified because Jonas Brothers wasn't a choreographed boy band. Glad he's on the list though.
my thought 😉
+Betsy Vogel who you think should replace him
+Tia Wessells that's a good question. I'm not a big fan of choreographed bands...
Betsy Vogel alright
you've obviously wasnt a fan of the Jonas brothers.
Glad to see Robbie on the list. Brilliant songwriter.
Watch Robbie's Live at Knebworth 2003. 375,000 people attended the shows over 3 days.
All but one of his 11 studio albums have reached number one in the UK. Williams also released seven number-one singles.
He is the best-selling British solo artist in the United Kingdom and the best selling non-Latino artist in Latin America.
In 2006 he entered the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million tickets of his Close Encounters Tour in a single day.
He is also one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold 75 million records worldwide.
It will take the guys from 1D 10 years to catch up.
Whole time I'm like Mike better be #1!
Michael Jackson all the way😍
I came for the 3 seconds of Zayn bye
haha
Me2
zame
Zayn ain't in it (except for those 3 secs)
Because he wasn't in a choreographed band
When I saw mj at #1 I was happy
Michael Jackson has the best off all time
Ki
I knew number one was going to be Michael Jackson aka the king of pop
Michael Jackson 😍😍😍😍😍😍
You forgot to add Donny Osmond of The Osmonds. He had solo hits while in the band like "Go Away Little Girl" and "Puppy Love" and then when he decided to break away from his brothers he had hits like "Solider of Love" and "Whenever You're in Trouble ".
I knew michael was #1! He lived the american dream and is the most successful entertainer of all time!
Michael Jackson is my all-time FAVORITE male pop singer! To ME, he's the KING of POP and there will NEVER be another!!!
michael jackson oh may u rest in peace we miss u
What about Jesse McCartney??? He got huge after dream street.
HUGE omission
I was gonna say the same thing!!
I totally agree with you. He should be in this list
Yes!!! That was very first thought after revealing number one.
Where the Heck is Jesse McCartney?
Man, this category Michael is like star light years away from anyone on the list. I mean I think the concept of going solo from a band is pretty much started for a lot of artist after seeing what Michael achieved :-) King of Pop is pretty much holding 50-60 #1 positions on Mojo's list!
#1 Michael Jackson aways will b the great solo singer n dancer ♡♡
RIP my friend MJ.
i dont get how Ricky Martin goes ahead of Lionel richie?
+lisalobes32 Yeah i agree.. i thought Lionel Richie would be higher on the list..
Yeah, Lionel has had more success and better songs imo.
+lisalobes32 .. I dont get why they considered the Commodors a boy band...lol
Have you seen Ricky Martin's solo catalog? The late 90s-2000s were Ricky mania years
+Gabriela Mallo Are you seriously putting Ricky Martin's catalog over Lionel Richie's? The former has two top 10 U.S. singles while the latter has thirteen.
My goodness! I forgot that MJ wad in a group! I was like who is gonna beat JT? Of course jackson!
MJ. Number one forever. Love and miss you so much MJ.❤️
Michael Jackson's the best. He deserves the #1 spot.
I never thought of the Jackson 5 as a boy band lol but I guess they are.
Micheal Jackson king of pop
So... I saw Justin Timberlake at number 2 and I was like how is he only at number 2 and I was like Michael Jackson. That makes so much more sense. I love Michael Jackson ❤
Michael Jackson totally deserves the first spot. Actually, I am happy, that Robbie is third. He deserves it. He is a great singer and a great performer. And that Gary has an honorable mention. But I think that he could have made it to the list.
Ikr. Robbie is a complete entertainer. Watching his Knebworth show gave me goosebumps. And he looks so damn sexy in his videos... lol
totally agree with all your desciptions.. and as I guessed the first position would be for Michael Jackson. After I saw it, my guessed was right.. :)
them: "hits like ABC and I Want You Back"
me: AND ROCKIN ROBIN!!! that was my favourite
At first I was wondering why Justin Timberlake was number 2, but you are totally right, Michael is number one.
Michael Jackson I watch The Jackson 5 since I was little and I loved every song you put out there regardless of what people said about him I love Michael Jackson he is an icon
But MJ is the still the one and he will be forever number 1 😍
Michael Jackson is my ultimate fave of everyone on this list & he will never be dethroned! R.I.P. King of Pop! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
yes MJ all the way
Michael Jackson's first solo album was released in 1979. He stayed with his brothers until that point.
His first solo album was released in 1972 while he was still a member of the Jackson 5. Off the Wall was his 4th solo album.
No matter what - Robbie will always be my number ONE! ♥️
@Mark Lynn I Think they'll do that once in a while - This summer for a Corona Concert from their homes 😁
I've never heard of Robbie, I'll have to listen to his music sometime.
Lol no one beats Michael. No one.
So it gets to #2 and I'm like I wonder who's gonna be #1 then it dawned on me and my brain was like "Bailee are you forgetting about your favorite singer" then I was like omg it's gonna be Michael Jackson first and then he was which is good because no one can beat Michael Jackson
I am always gonna have a soft spot for Robbie Williams. He is a megastar who I known world wide has had numerous number one selling albums and is just a general legend. He hails from the land of my people which is a tiny little place called Stoke-On-Trent. He left school at 16 with no grades and then became a huge star. Who knew a working class lad from The Potteries have a career like his. We Stokies are so proud of our golden boy.
I agree totally. He's such a star. Amazing entertainer!
what about George Michael ?
+nubiana75 Oh yeah from Wham! He should have definantly been on here! They didn't even mention him in the honorable mentions! Yet they mentioned Nick Lachey and Nick Carter? Really! Barely worth mentioning on the solo front! Then they forget altogether George Michael who had a big solo career after Wham! Who is researching these videos anyway!
+Candace Garrett maybe they not on the list cause it was 2 of them so they was a duet that's what they say when it just 2 of them
Tia Wessells Yeah, but what is the minimum number for a boy band anyway? Sure most have four or five! But maybe it's just more than one! Personally I always defined boy bands more by the type of music and how they performed said music than by how many members they contained!
Candace Garrett I think it supposed to be 3 or more idk bu the should of been on this list
Maybe duos are not being considered here... But if Wham would hv been considered...I wonder what
position GM would hv got ...??? 2 or 3???
I guessed the top 2. They were a bit of a no brainer. :-)
Robbie Williams has sold more albums than JT. Robbie Williams is the biggest selling overall solo recording artist in Europe since his solo debut in 1997 - shifting a staggering 47 million albums on the continent alone (55 million globally).
No he hasn't, dummy, justin sold 88 million records while robbie has sold 75 million
@@Miist3rDuce1 In records sales, Robbie Williams has sold an estimated 85 million records. And this excludes all sales from streaming. He remains the biggest recording artist (male) in Europe since his solo debut in 1997.
@@stevyyjay85 and Justin has sold over or close to 90 because he has more people streaming (Spotify, UA-cam) than Robbie Williams and he’s also more popular, Robbie is too but not with this generation like jt.
@@brittneyking4284 Robbie has sold twice as many albums as Justin. That is a fact. Robbie also is a much, MUCH bigger touring force, having grossed close to $800 million in concert revenue.
Robbie is bigger in Europe, Oceania and South America. JT is bigger in the US and Canada. Robbie Williams is a legend. He is the 3rd biggest selling international male recording artist in Germany - my country - after Michael Jackson and Phil Collins. RW has sold more albums in Germany alone than Justin Timberlake has in all of Europe.
Johnny Gill from New Edition, Joey McIntyre from NKOTB
Really? Joey mcantyre
Really?
I mean really?
I like nkotb but come on really?
JG should've been mentioned though. That brother can go. Put on your red dress and slip on your high heels and some of that sweet perfume
Not even an honorable mention for Zayn Malik? Alright...
ikr
he hasn't had that much success
I can't believe you actually think that😂
ALBERT' Q' Michael had several number one hits on Off The Wall 😂😂😂 (Don't Stop Till you get enough, Rock With You, Workin' Day And Night just to name a few) and he had his first top ten solo single when he was 14 (Ben). NO ONE even begins to rival the KING. Zayn is talented and all but Michael.... he was something we'll NEVER see again.
Vegan Westie Lover w
yesss my boy Bobby made it in top 5 I mean who didn't assume he was definently gonna be in here
I'd argue the Jonas Brothers wasn't a boy band since they weren't choreographed, and Kevin barely sung.
+Clara I-M hey haven't you heard i fell in love in Scandinavia that's a masterpiece lol
Kevin Was the First Singer of the Group...
Also they played instruments. I guess they should have been disqualified on that alone, according to the rules of the list.
If just argue that the Jonas bros sucked
She should have added Hanson because they played instruments as well.
I am prepared to be disappointed that no one from New Edition is on the list, even though every single member of the boy band achieved some level of success. That is something no other boy band can say.
(edit) I am pleasantly surprised.
Bobby brown was on the list
They could have put Johnny Gill as an honorable mention.
Great list! King Of Pop MJ
watched only to make sure MJ is number 1.
nick carter he is the cutest and the best!!!
Wow! I wasn't expecting Ricky Martin in this list! :o
Wat a nice surprise! I was a big fan of him when I was a teenager. You even used my favorite song of him, Vuelve. :)
Feeling very nostalgic now...
My favorite Soul artists from former boy bands is all five members of One Direction I love all five of their social careers as well as their group one
Yay for us Brits xD Very impressed you added Boyzone + Westlife and Robbie (
if zayn is in this , he has only been solo for like A month
No actually a year
+Ambryn Waters you right about that it too early to put him on this list
Jesse McCartney was in Dream Street that started in 1999 and ended in 2002. They were like a mini version of *NSYNC/Backstreet Boys with great music.
Just died when I saw Ricky Martin...my Latin side of the heart got warm. Viva la vida Ricky.
that's my song
+Tia Wessells it's Ricky Martins song
Michael Jackson
G dragon
yess!
I think they were focusing on people who left their groups to go solo
+flight departure Nope.
Wohoo! I'm a nobody!😂
I would totally agree with GD and the other BB members. But if it's focused on people who left their band and now are solo artists I would totally add Jay Park! I mean look at 'Mommae', 'Aquaman' and 'Drive'😍 He's amazing as solo artist (even though I miss his 2PM times😢)
real music I'd like to correct: They are not THAT popular in the western countries but in asia they are legends (and asia is a quite big continent you know). They even won awards at american award shows and I would like to add an article I read a while ago: www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2016/07/06/bigbang-theory-how-k-pops-top-act-earned-44-million-in-a-year/#500002ca7252
Just sayin.
As soon as I saw this list I thought about Michael Jackson! Knew he was going to be number 1 even before I clicked on the video to watch it! It was a no brainer for this one! Mainly because his songs have withstood the test of time! Most of the people on this list, except for maybe Lionel Richie, are still so new by comparison! Wait 20 years and maybe one of the other ones will beat MJ for number one! But right now it had to be Michael Jackson!
Darren Hayes from Savage Garden doesn't get an honorable mention?
Never knew he went solo 😳
the youngest in the band always become successful
mj was the youngest
and so was nick
latina girl When you said Nick I immediately thought Carter instead of Jonas 😂😂. Idk why since BSB never broke up.
And harry styles!!!😍
As well as Justin Timberlake
Both Nick Carter and Nick Jonas were the youngest in the band. Nick Lachey was NOT the youngest in 98 Degrees.
In a couple years I think zayn will be on this list
Nope, if anything Harry or Niall will be on this list now. They are totally surpassing Zayn now. Especially Niall. Personally I'm not really into Zayn's music, I prefer Harry's. Niall and Louis are really good too. Zayn may have a lot of vocal talent, but he is so boring on the entertainment front. I mean he did what every other ex-boyband member did with their solo music. Went with a R&B/Pop sound. What makes him any different from Justin Timberlake and Nick Jonas. At least Harry had the balls to spin off into a completely different direction than the norm. And he did it with a lot of style and is really interesting. Of course he's always been a better entertainer than Zayn. And he's got a voice to rival Zayn as well. It's not the same type of voice as Zayn's but it's still incredibly good. Niall has really risen in the vocal talent with his solo work as well. His voice somehow got so much better after 1D. Liam has always been a great singer, but like Zayn he went into the same old boring genre of music that every other ex-boybander goes into. Louis actually has some really good songs out now. He's still not as vocally powerful as the others, but he makes up for that by writing some really interesting music that goes with his voice. Louis always been a great songwriter though. So really, Zayn is actually starting to lag behind now that the others are out of the gate and doing solo work. I mean I feel for him with all the hard things he's been going through. It can't be easy. But I think a few of the others will get on this list before Zayn does. I think Niall will probably hit it first to be honest. He's really hot in the charts right now. Harry is too, but Niall is somewhat ahead of him in many of the billboards, not all of them though.
Candace Garrett agree 100% with u. I was never a 1D fan but once I heard Harry’s solo album I was hooked. My sister told me to listen to Niall and liked it as well but Harry is a legend in the making.
Yes, you're right because i clicked this video to find Zayn.
Personally i think Harry ,Zayn ,Niall ,Liam ,Louis all are in top of the music industry.but for me Harry and Niall and Zayn are in this list now
@@infinitesprings I honestly keep forgetting that Zayn has his own music out because it just sounded like every other person on the radio. and he just doesn't seem like the type of guy to promote his music and put in the work like the other guys are. Regardless of the fact that Liam went the same route as Zayn (R&B/Hip-Hop/Pop), Liam is still making himself relevant and doing interviews to promote himself, which gives him a higher standing of "Boy Bander - Solo Artist" ranking. I guess everyone in 1D had it in them except for Zayn.
The Commodores weren’t a boy band. They were a band. They played their own instruments and wrote their own music.
Robbie Williams, hell yes. When he went back to Take That, I was so excited. His solo work has been amazing and thought-provoking.
The US don't know what they're missing. Love his songs. Robbie and Gary are such talented songwriters.
Michael Jackson #1?
Didn't see that coming?
DAAAA HES THE KING
Knew it before clicking the video
Stranger In Moscow Same 😂
Stranger In Moscow gosh idk why but brain went all retarded for a second and forgot that he was in the Jackson 5 lol!
noemistephanie93
He's that good. He completely overshadowed his boy band success.
I knew MJ would be at #1
Called it for the number 2 and 1 spot! Boo yah!!!!!! Not gonna lie, was super proud of myself for guessing the top 2 spots!!!!
Good job msmojo you did this music list the right way 🤗
