There isn’t just one official “list” of celebrities, so I’ll walk you through a few of the big ones people usually mean when they ask “who’s on the list” and give some current names for 2025–2026.

1. What “the list” could mean

When people on forums or social media say “the list,” they’re usually talking about one of these:

  • A trending list of the most popular celebrities right now (based on social media, searches, news).
  • A formal industry list, like Hollywood honors or magazine rankings.
  • A fan-made or opinion-based A‑list, B‑list, etc., like on entertainment sites or IMDb lists.

So there isn’t one definitive roster; different lists track different kinds of fame (popularity, awards, “it” factor, or rising-star status).

2. Trending celebrities in 2026

One big kind of “list” right now is who’s actually trending in 2026 across music, film, and pop culture.

Some of the most talked‑about names include:

  • Rihanna
  • Beyoncé
  • Taylor Swift
  • Miley Cyrus
  • Jennifer Lopez
  • Sabrina Carpenter
  • Charli XCX
  • Gracie Abrams
  • Billie Eilish
  • Katy Perry
  • Benson Boone
  • Tyla
  • Troye Sivan
  • Selena Gomez
  • Lisa (of BLACKPINK)
  • Megan Thee Stallion
  • Ariana Grande

These names are drawn from a 2026 “most popular & trending” style list that looks at social media followers, Google Trends, and recent projects or scandals.

3. Example “official” style lists

If by “on the list” you mean more formal or curated lists, here are a couple of concrete examples.

Hollywood Walk of Fame class (2026)

The Hollywood Walk of Fame announces a “class” of honorees each year — this is literally a list of celebrities getting stars.

Recent honorees include:

  • Miley Cyrus
  • Timothée Chalamet
  • Demi Moore
  • Shaquille O’Neal
  • Noah Wyle
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar
  • Josh Groban
  • Emily Blunt
  • Rachel McAdams
  • Stanley Tucci
  • Keith David

These are part of a larger group of 35 names named for the upcoming class.

Forbes‑style celebrity lists

Business and finance media also do “celebrity” or under‑30 lists that focus on people turning fame into business or social impact (for example, Forbes 30 Under 30 “Celebrities”).

Those lists mix entertainers with creators, influencers, and athletes depending on their impact and ventures.

4. A‑list vs. “popular celebs” lists

There are also general “A‑list celebrities” and “popular celebrities list” pages that are basically fan or editorial compilations.

They usually:

  • Treat “A‑list” as the most-recognized, bankable stars that most adults and kids know.
  • Combine box office, chart success, awards, press coverage, and name recognition.
  • Are partially subjective, since they reflect the compiler’s criteria and taste.

So if someone says, “She’s on the A‑list now,” they mean she’s in that top‑tier fame category, not that there’s a single official document.

5. Forum-style gossip context

On forums, “who’s on the list?” often refers to whichever list that particular thread is obsessing over: a “canceled celebs” list, a rumored blacklist, a secret crush list, or a fan‑made ranking.

Without a specific show, award, or publication, the safest reading for “what celebrities are on the list” right now is: people are talking about 2026’s most popular trending celebs (like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Sabrina Carpenter, etc.) and/or the latest official honor lists like the Hollywood Walk of Fame class that includes names such as Miley Cyrus and Timothée Chalamet.

If you tell me which “list” you mean (Walk of Fame, Forbes, a specific show, a rumor list, etc.), I can narrow it down to the exact names that are on that one.
