    Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, and 2pac.

    Nas is my favorite artist but the songs I like from him weren't hits lol. His biggest song was I Can
    2pac had Brenda's got a baby, Dear Mama, California love, Do for Love, keep your head up thats were not only hits but classics

    I don't listen to Rock before I was born.

    Actually the original question was: "Which music artist has the greatest hits of All-Time?"

    The second question was: "Who has the most well known hits?"

    Third question was: "who would the average Joe have heard the most?"

    I just happened to only answer the original question.

    I think being recognized internationally and having the most known recognized hits are 2 different things.
    Everyone knows MJ but probably couldn't go past more that 10 of his songs. Speaking about the majority of course. The Beatles have covered many genres and decades your bound to know more than 10 even by accident.

    1- Beatles
    2- MJ
    3- Mariah Carey

    Some that haven't been mentioned: Billy Joel, U2, Hall&Oates, Air Supply, Peter Cetera/Chicago

    Nobody can beat the Beatles on this. Not even MJ.
