Şarkıcıların takma adları listesi, çoğunlukla medya veya hayranlar tarafından bir sanatçının önemini belirtmek için kullanılan terimlerin listesi. Genellikle dinî, ailevi veya (en sık olarak) asil ve aristokrat unvanlar verilir ve mecazi anlamda kullanılır. Mozart'ın "Modern müziğin babası" ve Bach'ın "Modern piyano müziğinin babası" olarak adlandırılmasıyla Avrupa'da klasik müzikte on dokuzuncu yüzyılın başlarında bile takma adlar müzisyenler için kullanılmıştır.[1] Bu takma isimler, İç Savaş sonrası dönemdeki Afro-Amerikan kültüründe Duke Ellington ve Count Basie gibi figürlerle ön plana çıktılar.[2]
ABD kültüründe, cumhuriyetçi anayasası ve ideolojisine rağmen[3] onursal takma adlar; endüstri, ticaret, spor ve medya gibi çeşitli faaliyet alanlarındaki önde gelen figürleri tanımlamak için kullanılmıştır. Baba veya anneyenilikçiler için, kral ve kraliçe gibi kraliyet unvanları ise bir alandaki baskın figürler için kullanılmıştır.[4][5] 1930'larda ve 1940'larda caz ve swing müziği popülerlik kazandıkça, o dönem daha çok saygı duyulan çağdaş Afrikalı-Amerikalı sanatçılar olmalarına rağmen ticari anlamda daha başarılı olan beyaz sanatçılar Paul Whiteman ve Benny Goodman sırasıyla "Cazın Kralı" ve "Swing'in Kralı" olarak biliniyorlardı.[6] Bu adlandırma kalıpları 1950'lerde rock and roll'un ortaya çıkmasıyla bu piyasaya aktarıldı. Bu dönemde "Rock 'n' Roll Kralı" lakabı ortaya çıktı ve bu unvanla en çok ilişkilendirilen kişi Elvis Presley oldu.[7] Bu, o zamanlar beyazlar için yeni sayılan müziğin inovasyonu için siyah kültüre hakkını vermenin bir parçası olarak nitelendirildi.[8] 1990'lı yılların sanatçısı Little Richard'a "Rock and Roll'un mimarı" gibi türün diğer önde gelen isimleri için farklı lakaplar verilmiştir[9] ancak Little Richard'a verilen bu terim tıpkı bu lakabın, öncü sayılan elektro gitaristi Les Paul için de kullanımış olması gibi birçok başka lakap da diğer önemli figürler için de kullanılmaktadır.[10]
Benzer takma adlar, 1968'de disk jokeyiPervis Spann'in Aretha Franklin'i "Soul'un Kraliçesi" olarak taçlandırması gibi diğer türlerde de geçmiştir.[11]Michael Jackson ve Madonna, 1980'lerden beri sırasıyla "Pop'un Kralı" ve "Pop'un Kraliçesi" terimleriyle en çok ilişkilendirilen kişiler oldular.[12][13][14] Çeşitli sanatçılar[15] bazen kendi kendine bir takma adı vermiş, bazıları verilen takma ada itiraz edilmiş, zaman zaman ona verilen takma adı reddetmiş veya küçümsemiştir.[16] Bazı önemli takma adlar genel kullanımdadır ve genellikle belirli kişilerle tanımlanır.
