Jason Donovan

What strikes me about Jason Donovan is how completely he flipped a soap-opera launch pad into a genuine pop career. Going from Scott Robinson on Neighbours to a string of UK No. 1 singles and the highest-selling UK album of 1989 with Ten Good Reasons is no small pivot, and roughly 3 million records sold backs it up. I also respect that he didn't just chase chart pop forever; the move into stage work suggests someone who actually wanted to act and sing rather than coast on teen fame. He's a textbook case of a TV heartthrob who earned his musical stripes.
