The greatest pop star of the 21st century is Beyoncé

On November 28, Billboard announced the final name topping the list of "The Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century". The owner of this title is none other than Queen Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is the "Greatest Pop Artist of the 21st Century".

"Queen B" has successfully defeated the super heavyweight Taylor Swift for this position . According to Billboard magazine, Beyoncé opened a new era with her 2013 album. This is also the main factor that helped the female singer win the top position.

Starting out with Destiny's Child - one of the best-selling girl groups of all time - Beyoncé's career skyrocketed. Even after the group disbanded, Queen B's musical journey shows no signs of slowing down.

The female singer's solo singles such as "Crazy in Love", "Déjà Vu", "Irreplaceable", "Beautiful Liar"... all became hits at the time of release.

At the age of 41 and with 26 years in her career, Beyoncé has released 7 albums, each of which is considered different and innovative compared to the previous ones.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Beyoncé has sold more than 200 million records worldwide as a solo artist and more than 60 million records as a member of the girl group Destiny's Child.

She is consistently ranked among the best-selling artists of all time.

In addition to music, Beyoncé is also the initiator of many charity projects, supporting the community of women and children of color around the world.

At the 2023 Grammy Awards, the moment Beyoncé's song Break My Soul was announced as the winner of the "Best Dance/Electronic Recording" category marked the 32nd golden statue in the career of the "Queen of Pop".

In addition to prestigious awards, the countless titles in Beyoncé's music career also have a huge influence on American popular culture.

She has truly become a symbol of success for black women in the United States in particular and the world in general.

Her music is not focused on one audience but on a wide audience. Each album, Beyoncé celebrates a different class in American society.

Women, communities of color, working class, LGBT, and disadvantaged people in society are all the subjects that Beyoncé targets in her music.

Beyoncé has been married to rapper Jay-Z since 2008.

In her personal life, Beyoncé also had a long-lasting marriage with rapper and music producer Jay-Z. Before getting married, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were listed by Time magazine as one of the most powerful couples in its 100 most influential people of 2006.

Forbes calls them "Hollywood's Top-Earning Couple." Their combined net worth is estimated at $1.9 billion.

Accordingly, Beyoncé alone owns about $400 million thanks to music, tours and image copyrights. In addition, she also owns a significant stake in Tidal, the online music streaming service founded by Jay-Z.

Taylor Swift unfortunately stops at number 2

Although Taylor is the best-selling pop singer of the 21st century, that's not the only factor Billboard used to make its decision.

2024 was a successful year for Taylor Swift with the Eras Tour and her 14th Grammy award.

Billboard did not hesitate to praise the "Country Music Princess": "Taylor Swift is the only artist to win Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards up to 4 times.

She has the second most Billboard Hot 100 entries of all time (behind rapper Drake).

Taylor is also one of the most impressive touring artists of the last quarter century, a position she held when her global Eras Tour became the highest-grossing tour of all time in 2023, despite only being halfway through its run.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour not only consistently sets records for stadium attendance, but also boosts the local economy where the tour is held.

The MV "Love Story" released in 2008 really brought Taylor Swift's name to the world.

She's a billionaire, the only female artist to become a billionaire primarily through music. Taylor is the most famous woman in the world."

In early 2024, the talented singer's album "1989 - Taylor's Version" officially held the top position on the "Billboard 200 Chart" for the 5th consecutive week.

This helped Taylor Swift surpass the record of the late legendary artist Elvis Presley, making her the solo artist with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, with a total of 68 weeks, an incredible number.

Taylor Swift's music career has been an impressive and successful journey, starting from when she was a young girl with big musical dreams. At the age of 16, she signed a contract with Big Machine Records and released her debut album "Taylor Swift" in 2006.

The singer is dating American football star Travis Kelce.

This first album not only marked the strong appearance of a completely new face but was also the key to opening the successful musical path of the "Country Music Princess" at that time.

Taylor became a musical phenomenon when she released consecutive albums such as "Fearless" (2008), "Speak Now" (2010), and "Red" (2012), each of which achieved great success, won many prestigious awards and attracted millions of fans worldwide.

Taylor Swift has become one of the world's leading artists today, with her musical versatility and outstanding songwriting ability. She has not hesitated to change her musical style, from Country to Pop, and even Indie Folk in her albums "Folklore" (2020) and "Evermore" (2020).

Haley Biebie is upset because her husband only stopped at 8th place.

Meanwhile, 3rd place belongs to Rihanna even though she has been absent from the music industry for many years and has switched to focusing on the cosmetics business.

The fourth place belongs to the scandalous rapper Drake. Singer Lady Gaga is in the fifth place.

In addition, only two groups made it onto Billboard's list, BTS at number 9 and One Direction at number 22.

Notably, last week, supermodel Hailey Bieber expressed her anger when singer Justin Bieber only ranked 8th.

She believes her husband deserves a higher position given the achievements the "Baby" singer has made in his music career.
