The prestigious publication names Xtina among other legends. Why?

[Ayanaa]

Bc Shakira is still relevant

[Diocles]

Billboard year end chart ha power

 

[raven]

Shakira still considered a modern star 

[Jude]

It's true it's true.

[Rev8]

Shakira stans fight back

[Bimbo]

She is there on the list though (in the 151-175 column, just below Tom Yorke; her name is in purple).

 

Impressively Shakira has a much larger vocabulary than Christina, since Christina apparently has 99 words compared to Shakira's 151.

 

Besides, acts like Bea Miller, Bebe Rexha, and Bazzi also feature on this list. Does it make them legends on the same level as Christina too? Worms for brains

What’s not to get? Xtina’s name in green with the legends while Shakira’s in purple with the non-legends.

[Into The Void]

what does unique vocab have to do with legendary status?

Alsso NME didn't make this list they just reposted it

[Mr. Stratus]

A reach  Shakira has decades worth of hits and global respect in the industry. No matter how hard it’s spun, X is the least successful and most forgotten out of that group of girls 

[Blackout2006]

Hips Don't Lie is equivalent to half of Xtina's career, sit down

I mean, it's not like they can put her with modern acts when you need to still chart in order to be there

 

 

NME list would've been more accurate had they added 3rd color for fads where Iggy Pop belongs tho.

Ava Max being a legend

Shakira still gets 1B songs on streaming and transitioned very well into the streaming era. She’s still relevant aka modern star
