December 3rd 2024.
On Tuesday, Billboard, one of the top music charting sites, made an exciting announcement. After much analysis and deliberation, they have named Beyoncé as the greatest pop star of the 21st century. This decision was part of their ongoing series of ranking the top 25 pop artists of the past 25 years.
According to Billboard's Andrew Unterberger, Beyoncé has claimed the top spot on their staff-chosen editorial list for her incredible influence, impact, and evolution over the past 25 years. The publication praised her as a performer and creator who has continuously pushed the boundaries of innovation, evolution, and excellence, setting the bar for all other pop stars of this century.
Beyoncé's impressive record of 32 Grammy wins, the most of any artist, solidifies her place as a true music icon. And with 11 more nominations for her 2024 album "Cowboy Carter," she is expected to add even more trophies to her collection come January. But it's not just awards that make Beyoncé stand out. She has a remarkable history on Billboard's charts, with nine number one songs and 24 top 10 songs on the Hot 100. And when it comes to albums, eight of her releases have claimed the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart, starting with her debut solo album "Dangerously In Love" in 2003. Even before that, she was dominating the airwaves as part of the popular girl group Destiny's Child. In total, 11 of Beyoncé's solo albums have charted in Billboard's top 10.
Billboard has been revealing their top 25 pop artists of the past 25 years since August, and Beyoncé's name has been eagerly anticipated by fans and music lovers alike. This list is a reflection of the artists who have defined pop stardom and exemplified pop greatness since the year 2000. And it's not just about chart positions or awards, but also the overall impact and legacy of these artists.
Last week, Billboard announced that Taylor Swift claimed the number two spot on the list, with Rihanna following closely behind at number three. Other top artists include Adele, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Drake. And at number 25 is Katy Perry, with other popular artists like Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, and Usher ranking in between.
