Taylor Swift comes second behind Beyoncé on Billboard's "greatest pop star of the 21st century" list...
From The NY Post
Following a lengthy countdown spanning several months, Billboard has now announced its pick for “greatest pop star of the 21st century” … Beyonce.
The former Destiny’s Child star, who went solo in 2003, pipped the best-selling pop star of the 21st century to the post: Taylor Swift had to settle for a number two placing.
But Billboard wasn’t just using record sales to dictate its list. Beyonce’s game-changing 2013 self-titled album, a surprise release that ushered in a new era of visual albums, was noted by the respected music outlet as a key factor in her nabbing the top spot.
Rounding out the top five, and announced in previous weeks, are Rihanna at three, Drake at four and Lady Gaga at five.

Congrats 🎉 I guess
Didn’t Michael Jackson make visual albums. Nothing new. Not a fan of Taylor, she should’ve won.
I thought they were going to name Taylor too because Destiny's Child was known as an R&B group first, not POP. It was only when she went solo that she supposedly crossed over. So, maybe they went by age and the number of years she became a Pop star.
That's about right.
Ain't no way she's more influential than Michael Jackson, Billboard will be defunct in a short time and no one will remember this f-ckery. Trust & Believe.
Yawn
THAT'S THAT BULLSHAT!
BEYONCE'S MUSIC OR IMAGE AIN'T AS ICONIC AS MICHAEL JACKSON, PRINCE, WHITNEY HOUSTON, MADONNA, OR EVEN RIHANNA.
TRY AGAIN, BILLIARD!
^ BILLBOARD, NOT BILLIARD (MY BAD-I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A POOL GAME WITH SOME PEOPLE).
LIES!!! Micheal Jackson is the greatest of all time DEAD OR ALIVE. Beyonce could never ever. Taylor Swift and Rhianna are bigger stars than Beyonce…
Billboard is officially irrelevant with this bullsh*t.
The numbers tell a very different story.....
This drunk hasn't had a major hit since single ladies!
Uhhhh she needs to worry about her husband's going on's with the Mr. Diddie Dirty!!!
Without a doubt she’s the greatest of this century (21st)and there shouldn’t have been a question about that. Now I know these awards shows and the media is really working hard to make Taylor Swift that person, but listen and hear me good, Taylor has a machine working extremely hard for her but Beyoncé is the machine and nothing or no one can take that away from her. Her flowers 💐 shouldn’t be a question of deserving but given unto her now while she yet can embrace the fragrance, period.
Chile please, she never even got album of the year. Put some RESPECT on Prince, a true writer and MJ a true entertainer AND writer's names!
BEYONCE AIN'T EVEN THE GREATEST ON THE CHARTS LIKE EVER.
SHE CAN'T EVEN PAY FOR A HIT SONG.
I'M NOT A FAN OF BEYONCE AT ALL, BUT THE ONLY SONG OF HERS THAT COULD GET A NODDING OF HEADS AT A CLUB OR A HOUSE PARTY AROUND THE WAY WAS THAT SONG "DRUNK IN LOVE" (AT THE CLUBS) & "LOVE ON TOP" AT HOUSE PARTIES.
NONE OF HER ALBUMS HAVE CHARTED OR STAYED ON THE BB CHARTS FOR VERY LONG.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES BB FUL OF SH!T WITH THAT DECLARATION.
She is a wonderful performer, but the music is a, "no" for me. She does not have timeless classics. Her music is very basic and juvenile.
Guys, note it’s for 21st century. I’m from the generation who KNOW it’s Prince and MJ and even Whitney and Mariah… but unfortunately all of them had their hits in the 1900s, when all y’all were born. They didn’t have hits like they did then and were aging out before their times ended in the 21st Century
Beyonce must have used the 10 million kam gave her to buy herself this award.
Whitney Houston and Bey are only about 10 yrs apart, Bey is lying on her age. And Whitney should get this posthumous, or Mariah Carey. Cmon now.....
As if the 21st century was over??? we have until 2100. go sit down lool
She always looks like she popped a benzo and washed it down with a drink or two.
Jay - Z paying mad out money for her to get that award lol
Just like her Grammys - all bought and paid for and when Jay owned a stake in Tidal her Lemonade album numbers were all found to be fake too.
She lies and steals from other artists on the regular.
Just like her daddy Ratty Matty said - it’s all smoke and mirrors with J & B.
The devil is a baldface and ugly liar, like her husband. This theiving and devil-worshipping whoremonger from the pits of hell, no thank you. I hate everything about Beyonce, that is it and all.
They are going to buy all of these awards for stolen work from other creators. There's not one original bone in Beyonce's body. Never should her name be mentioned with the legendary talent like Prince, Michael, Whitney, Luther, Mariah, Sam, Nat, and the names could keep going. Her entire catalog is lackluster, mundane, and forgettable. There's nothing timeless or nostalgic about any of her songs.
^^^^^ALL FACTS! EVERY WORD SAID/TYPED!
