Beyoncé has been named the biggest pop star of the 21st century by Billboard, surprising some but affirming what many fans already believed. The announcement came as part of an editorial series that began in August and celebrated her 25-year impact on the music industry and pop culture.

Billboard’s selection of Beyoncé as the top artist underscores her commitment to innovation, artistic growth, and excellence. The publication noted that her influence has set a standard emulated by other artists over the past 25 years.

Billboard on their decision to place Beyoncé above Taylor Swift in their 21st Century list:

As the most awarded artist in Grammy history, Beyoncé has secured 32 awards. This year, her album “Cowboy Carter” garnered 11 more nominations, making her the most nominated artist ever at the Grammys with 99 nominations.

Beyoncé has consistently excelled on the Billboard charts, with nine singles reaching number one on the Hot 100 and 24 entering the top 10. Her debut solo album, “Dangerously in Love,” hit number one on the Billboard 200 in 2003, as did seven other albums.

Billboard explains why they chose Beyoncé as the #1 pop star of the 21st century over Taylor Swift:

Before her solo success, Beyoncé achieved fame with Destiny’s Child, one of the most successful girl groups ever. Billboard has previously recognized her as the biggest pop star of the year in 2003 and 2014.

The Billboard rankings highlight other prominent pop stars, placing Taylor Swift and Rihanna second and third, respectively. The top 10 features artists like Drake, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Adele, and Justin Bieber, with Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, and Katy Perry occupying other top spots.
