All these meltdowns over the opinions of some Billboard staff members. :deadbanana2:

 

Some of you don't need to get riled up like this over a mere list. Just enjoy the ranking or ignore it if you disagree, cause it's not that serious. :rip:

Taylor Swift is only that high because of her success and Disney adult following.

Taylor has the acclaim Gaga can only dream of

Speaking of fads, where is your fave's lead single on the charts this week? Asking for a friend.

OT: The top 3 will be Taylor > Beyoncé > Rihanna, in that order.

Is this list even important? I'm assuming it's a just a random list they threw together, like the list of greatest singers of all time which didn't even included Celine Dion.

Both are the best selling of the 4 remaining. Most weeks at #1, most #1 hits...

 

Next one is Beyonce. #4

WTF is Little Mix doing there, when it's clearly Ellie Goulding's spot! Don't you know 5 of her songs are doing 1M+ daily streams?

Is eminem not going to be on the list at all ? Lol

Posted (edited)

Kinda weird of them to place Britney at 6 only to say she would actually be top 3. Why put an artist on your list without considering their whole body of work lol
 

So I guess their top 3 would be Beyonce Britney Taylor otherwise?


Glad they're placing Rihanna so high though

Eminem is at #12.

 

This clearly shows that they're not completely taking "chart success/performance" into consideration otherwise he would've been in the top ten. He was AOTD - 00's.
