So, who are the most famous people from Tennessee?

There are countless answers, as there are countless musicians and entertainers from the Volunteer State.

But a new poll by facialpeople.io seeks to settle this debate.

Famouspeople.io conducted a study that evaluated more than 3,000 people from various fields and ran metrics on traits such as fame, likes and dislikes.

The data is based on a nationally representative survey of the U.S. population, in which individuals were presented with a famous person and asked whether they were familiar with that person. For the purposes of this poll, celebrities are “from” the state in which they were born.

According to Celebrity.io's poll, the most famous people in Tennessee are:

1st place: Justin Timberlake

For Memphians, Justin Timberlake's No. 1 spot comes as no surprise. Timberlake's rise to fame began in the late 1990s when he debuted with NSYNC.

Born January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Timberlake has also had success on the big screen, appearing in the Trolls series, Palmer and The Social Network.
