We'll hand it over to two people who can do it better.
A year since one of the most amazing, magical, spellbinding, suitable-adjective-defying entertainers the world has ever known passed away and nothing we can write will pack the awe, grandeur and emotional punch a tribute to Michael Jackson requires - the video above possibly does.

Your Career (In Artwork): Male Pop Divas
Now for the second instalment of our feature... and onto 'Male Pop Divas', a bizarre demographic. We'll begin with Mr. MJ, a bizarre man.
For someone who is constantly referred to as the greatest pop act of all time, these album covers aren't ALL that iconic. They're quite good though, which sort of makes up for that. There's a lot of variety and not much consistency but they're not heinous which is a start.
Believe it or not, Marilyn Manson (yes we know it's a band, not just a person) is much more of a pop diva than you might think. There are a lot of glam rock anthems in his back catalogue, some very interesting musical styles and touches and, as evidenced below, some stonkingly good and iconic artwork. Whether you like him or not, you can't deny that his album covers have been a succession of bleak and arresting photos...
George Michael is better known by the younger generations as someone who consistently gets arrested for taking drugs or soliciting male prostitutes in public toilets, as opposed to someone releasing consistently good pop music. It's a shame, beause he's written some fantastic songs. We can't say the same for his artwork. It's very unexceptional isn't it?
Prince is somewhat of an enigma and has always embraced the ambitious and fantastical - unfortunately this often doesn't date very well, but nevertheless his collection of album covers look great next to each other. Colourful, imaginative and fantastical! Not a bad feat.
David Bowie is an innovator and visionary and this is reflected excellently in his diverse and visually intriguing set of artworks. So many iconic images here...
