As part of an ongoing series, music charting website Billboard announced on Tuesday that Beyoncé is the best pop performer of the twenty-first century.
“Beyoncé tops our staff-chosen editorial list based on her full 25 years of influence, impact, and evolution,” Andrew Unterberger of Billboard stated.
According to the publication’s analysis, Beyoncé’s ranking at the top of their list resulted from her status as a performer and creator “whose commitment to innovation, evolution and all-around excellence has made her the bar against which all other pop stars this century have long been measured” over the previous 25 years.
With a record 32 Grammys, Beyoncé is the most successful artist. She is also likely to win more awards in January after receiving 11 additional nominations for her 2024 album “Cowboy Carter”.
Additionally, the singer of “Texas Hold ‘Em” has a lengthy career on the Billboard charts. She has 24 top 10 hits on the Hot 100 and nine No. 1 songs. Since her 2003 first solo album “Dangerously In Love,” eight of her albums have achieved the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart. Eleven of Beyoncé’s solo albums have made it into Billboard’s top 10, after her prior dominance of the airwaves as a member of the girl group Destiny’s Child.
Billboard’s crew has been selecting the top 25 pop performers of the last 25 years since August. The performers chosen by the journal are those who, in their opinion, have best embodied pop success and “exemplified pop greatness” since the year 2000.
Rihanna took third place, and Taylor Swift was named Billboard’s No. 2 pick last week.
The top 10 is completed by Drake, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Adele, and Ariana Grande.
Katy Perry comes in at number 25, followed by Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, Usher, and others.
