they might not be real but the musical
success of these groups certainly is
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
animated music groups
for this list we’re choosing musical
artists and groups that come from any
kind of animation and are presented as
musicians with a real or fictional
Oh
number 10 at soon a Miku
it seems like only in Japan would a
computer-generated projection of a
singing anime character sell out arenas
but that’s exactly what’s happened with
this pigtailed sixteen-year-old Hatsune
Miku is based on a Japanese vocal
synthesizer software called Vocaloid
which samples human voices to sing
melodies or words typed in by the user
over 100,000 songs have been credited to
her and she was also the voice behind
the original nyan cat song
like a fuller wind stage along number
nine the California Raisins
the one claymation band on our list this
group started their life as mascots for
the California raisin advisory board
Wow must have been something to hate the
singing dance and snap and raisins
became so popular in that form their
cover version of Marvin Gaye’s I heard
it through the grapevine
charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in fact
they became so huge that they ended up
as the official spokesperson brand
cereal landed their own Saturday morning
cartoon and even won an Emmy not bad for
a bunch of shriveled grapes sounds great
doesn’t it number eight the Christian
Dolls
marketing your album in the form of
Japanese anime is definitely a unique
way of promoting yourselves if you’re
not Japanese
Oh
and that’s precisely what Daft Punk did
in 2003 with an animated group called
the crescendos a fictional blue skinned
outfit that appeared in the movie
interstellar for five the story of the
secret star system with no actual
dialogue the adventure film instead uses
the French duos 2001 album discovery as
its soundtrack guiding Stella octave
Beryl and arpeggios musical journey
the Killa didn’t make sense
to be this result
number seven Jem and the Holograms
coming to TV screens in the 80s
thanks to Hasbro marvel and son Bo
productions this all-female animated
group had songs and hair that definitely
matched their time period
not only that but the show’s popularity
during its run from 1985 to 1988 was
truly truly truly outrageous it ended up
being the number one syndicated cartoon
show in November of 86
and a live-action movie starring Molly
Ringwald and Juliette Lewis is
reportedly in the works I got my eye on
you number six Josie and the Pussycats
from comic books to an animated show and
live-action movie these three ladies can
definitely boast longevity as far as
animated music groups are concerned
Josie Valerie and melody made for some
pretty memorable characters both in the
world of Archie comics and hanna-barbera
the cartoon became fairly successful
despite its short time on the air
however the product placement loaded
2001 live-action movie was a box-office
failure
number five Alvin and the Chipmunks
either you find them adorable or you
find them annoying whatever your opinion
is of these three you can’t deny that
Alvin Simon and Theodore have been an
incredibly popular animated band making
songs that have probably stayed stuck in
your head
ever since you were a kid especially
around Christmas the chipmunk song was
probably a staple on your holiday
playlist and it even went to number one
in the States for four weeks in 1958
it’s hard to forget them though we would
like to forget the more recent CGI
animated movies they were in in the late
2000s number four prozac if you were a
kid growing up in Canada in the late 90s
you most likely heard this pairs music
at least a handful of times chances are
you probably even loved it Simon and
Milo were quite a popular animated
musical duo in their home country with
their debut album hot show spawning two
platinum-certified tracks sucks to be
you
and strange disease disease which
featured Simon being the musical ted
mosby of his time singing about looking
for love their sophomore effort also
went platinum in Canada to get over you
number three Dethklok one of the bands
on this list to take form both as an
animated band and as a real one this
melodic death metal group came to us
through the Adult Swim show
Metalocalypse
fronted by home movies creator Brendon
small not only do they have a successful
TV show notorious for its dark humour
but they also actually tour as a
real-life band over the years Dethklok
has hit the road with heavy bands like
Mastodon hi on fire and converge
yeah everything’s arty number two the
Archies not many animated groups get
anywhere close to a number one single in
the real world hey where are you who we
wanted this but with the Archies that’s
exactly what ended up defining their
career in 1969 when their single sugar
sugar reached the top of the Billboard
Hot 100
Ben comprising of Archie Jughead
Reggie Betty and Veronica also got a few
other top 40 singles in the States
during the late 60s and early 70s not
bad at all for a bunch of comic book
characters near the sea to mention I
couldn’t watch it victims junga in fact
check before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
and I’m gonna you gonna put
Oh check it black leather jacket jacket
number one guerrillas happen I’m feeling
glad I got sunshine in a bag I’m useless
they’ve sold millions of records
worldwide
they’ve gotten critical acclaim time and
time again over the course of their
careers and this English based animated
band even managed to gain mainstream
success in the States
not only that but 2d murdoch noodle and
Russell have managed to make their
animated selves work in a live setting
extremely well
sunshine

music group do you think is the best of
all time
