'Who are your top 5 greatest artists?' ('beautiful' would default to referring to the artist rather than their work). – Edwin Ashworth Jul 26 '19 at 15:37

You can use *is* if you talk about a list. Who is in your “top 5 most beautiful artists” list? – Jim Jul 26 '19 at 18:24

@Jim — Not very beautiful. Try “list of…” You’ll be amazed what prepositions can do for your writing. – David Jul 26 '19 at 18:27

@David- whatever. My point stands. – Jim Jul 26 '19 at 18:29

"Who are your top five..." is correct. "Are" is used because you refer to multiple artists in your list.
