Written by Ariel Newbold on December 4, 2024
It’s official — Beyonce is the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century. At least according to Billboard.
After the mag named Taylor Swift number-two last week, there wasn’t much suspense. Its editors write, “The greatness of Beyonce as a pop star is both immediately obvious on its surface and worthy of extensive exploration in its vastness… Few artists this period can match her in any of the most critical basic categories of pop stardom — commercial success, performance abilities, critical acclaim and accolades, industry influence, iconic cultural moments – and absolutely no one can equal her in all of them.”
Here’s the full Top 10:
- Beyoncé
- Taylor Swift
- Rihanna
- Drake
- Lady Gaga
- Britney Spears
- Kanye West
- Justin Bieber
- Ariana Grande
