Female artists have taken over this business not only using their charisma and talent, but also their beauty. The most popular singers in today’s music world are not only known for their successful songs and albums, but also for their unique appeal and sensuality. Choosing the most beautiful women in this business is not a simple task because, fortunately, there are too many candidates.

There is nothing more hotter (and why not dangerous) than a beautiful and intelligent woman, and the music industry is full of them. But what makes a truly hot pop star? It’s a combination of raw charisma and talent that is impossible to ignore — or deny. But keep in mind it’s hard to stay on top, as well as always keeping a velvet skin and looking immaculate, as if an angel himself bathed, dressed and put makeup on those female performers.

The music industry has plenty of feminine talent. It is plagued by beautiful women who have dominated Billboard awards over the last decade, as well as stars who have been on the scene for a couple of years but are already aiming to be among the most persecuted by paparazzi. Which one is the hottest one? The choice is yours.

But not only her career has taken a turn, but also her personality and interests, showing a more mature and sometimes femme-fatale related facet.

2. Katy Perry

We had no idea how Katy Perry could possibly get more beautiful after ‘California Gurls’, but one sizzling ‘Roar’ video later, she blew our minds off. Not only she is the hottest thing in the jungle, but Perry just might be the most beautiful woman on the music industry (or even the planet?). She came to fame in 2008 with the singles ‘I Kissed a Girl’ and ‘Hot n Cold’ from her second album: ‘One of the Boys’. She was married between 2010 and 2012 to actor and comedian Russell Brand; and has had romantic relationships with guitarist John Mayer and actor Orlando Bloom.

1. Miley Cyrus

Singer Miley Cyrus surprised her fans not only with her radical change of look, but also with her apparent new behavior. In an interview for Billboard, the American artist said “this is crazy, but I haven’t smoked marijuana in three weeks, which is the most I’ve ever been without smoking. I’m not using drugs, I’m not drinking. I am completely clean”. Since Miley Cyrus’ international take-off in 2006 as Hannah Montana, she has gone through such opposite stages that it’s hard to believe it was the same person. The sultry Cyrus of 2013 with her album ‘Bangerz’, the psychedelic with the album ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’ and now the tender and sweet girl with ‘Younger Now’ of 2017, is the same person.
