Billboard has crowned Beyonce as the greatest pop star of the 21st century, pipping Taylor Swift to the top spot. The announcement was made after a four-month-long exercise that involved expert opinions and deliberation among Billboard editors.
Beyonce’s impressive credentials include nine number one hits on Billboard Hot 100 and 24 top-10 hits. She also holds the record for being the top Grammy winner of all time, with 32 awards to her name. The magazine highlighted her achievements as a testament to her enduring impact on pop culture and music.
Taylor Swift was ranked second on the list, despite fans arguing that she had a bigger impact on pop culture and music. Rihanna took third place, followed by Drake, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, and Adele in the top five.
Billboard’s exercise involved compiling essays for each artist, highlighting their contributions to pop stardom over the past 25 years. The selection process was marked by controversy, with some notable artists missing out on a spot in the top 10.
