She was previously nominated for its Class of 2018. Bush is a true trailblazer and innovator that helped mold the British and international rock music scene into what it is today. She is credited for being a “spellbinding visionary and fey-spirit child,” and rightfully so.
Bush is known for her inventive use of technology, as well as her unique arrangements, and her visually-striking presentations, which inspired countless artists and bands. She is affectionately known as the “Queen of Art-Pop” and she has a four octave vocal range.
At 19 years old, her debut single “Wuthering Heights” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the United Kingdom and it stayed there for four weeks. With this milestone, she became the first female solo recording artist to earn a No. 1 single in Great Britain for a single that she wrote entirely by herself. Equally remarkable was the commercial success of “This Woman’s Work.”
In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II honored her with a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) award her services to the music business.
