Maybe not in number but sure on negative impact for society. 

The iconic people dying is just the icing on the cake. 

You realize that more celebrities dying each year is not only a natural consequence of population growth and the diversification of entertainment, but that it will happen every subsequent year? If it happens every year is that going to negate every single year's positives?

And let's be honest, the things on that list are shaping the world NOW. Most of the celebrities who died were already long past their major contributions, or all of them, to society whether it was a song, album, movie, etc, In other words, if they had continued living their impact would have still been the same since it was done with.

Last recorded time so many celeb deaths occured was 1982...

By your logic in your OP and against GNM, every year is objectively always a good year, unless we have a world war, which I'm going to assume will be like a speck on the mirror versus all the good things. Basically humanity has always had it good.

I'd like to add to the celeb deaths, like all the people that have died this year, popular and not so popular, innocent and non innocent. companies going bust, companies getting away with acts they shouldn't etc. If you want to say that the goods always outweigh the cons, then you'll have to put that towards everyone, but even then the whole world wouldn't agree with you single handedly anyway, because we all view the glass differently.
