This comment?

Not an explanation of how exclusion procedure works being used to accuse me of being pressed.

 

Perhaps it's time to look in the mirror Ms. istan4badgirlriri, cause there's no reason why me celebrating Taylor's and Beyoncé's status should have gotten you so riled up.

#3 is someone that was "mentioned a handful of times" throughout the Drake episode of the podcast accompanying this countdown.

 

I didn't listen to it, but I assume it means Rihanna as she's more associated with him than Taylor or Beyoncé.

😭😭😭 as soon as the top 3 was revealed mind you

Drake is #4.

5th place is "an artist who paid a particularly memorable tribute to Britney at one point in the early 2010s".

#6 Britney Spears

In the podcast for this countdown, they teased at the very end of the latest episode that #8 is someone Ariana has collaborated with, so it's either Bieber or Gaga (my guess is Bieber).

#10 - Adele

#9 - Ariana Grande

 

Not you thinking I'm pressed at Rihanna cause I figured out where she placed, when I've been doing that or posting the rankings for most of this list and the rest of the top 5 too.

 

The way I can't even celebrate my two most played artists being on top, without some insecure Navy getting so riled up over that.

[LegaMyth]

Some of you b*****s are in denial. Rihanna is Beyoncé's daughter just like Adele and many others. We have videos of them telling the world who their Queen is. You b*****s are stuck on streams as if Bey has not been making impact since the airplay-only era. She is by far the greatest and most influential performer on the list. She literally changed the day albums are releases. 

 

Yes, her last album is not charting, but don't forget, she had the 2nd biggest female debut this year, a multi-week @ #1 hit song, plus two additional Top 10s. All of this with no music videos, which is completely against what she is known for.

 

Lastly, her musical talents CANNOT and WILL NOT be denied.

You know damn well that if Rihanna released during these pst years. She would obviously be in the top 2. Bey is being outstreamed by Rihanna as we speak eventho the latter hasn't released an album in almost 9 years.

You have no way to know that. She could've released a bunch of albums and flopped into oblivion like Katy Perry. Just say congrats and go.

[RideOrDie]

congrats to miss godga on her top 5 placement  and congrats to her boatmate for making it onto the list at the last spot

Why are you even debating that idiotic fool?

 

A few pages ago, this very same user was commenting that he doesn't understand why people are getting annoyed over an irrelevant list? Now, all of a sudden, they're trying to be shady and pretend that that they actually care. 
 

Please.

 

 

The fact Rihanna ranked #3 with no album in 8 years is hilarious anyway.

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.

Let me repost my actual comment from a week ago, cause clearly a certain fandom loves to twist words and get riled up over a simple post celebrating their faves' greatness.  

[RihannaLoverrr]

My queen placing higher than I predicted

 

 

Would absolutely be battling for #1 if she didn't retire go on hiatus. Deserved placement, impact is undeniable and her catalogue still has her as one of the top streamed women despite no album in near a decade

[ChandlerBing]

Rihanna is #1 globally tho.

[PYT]

Rihanna was just announced as #3. The top two is going to be between Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. 

 

Who do you think will be #1?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

would be surprised if it was Beyonce

[Saint James]

the biggest billboard act of the 21st century.

[Infinite]

Taylor but they are gonna put Beyoncé lol

[TrashMagiq]

I can see them doing Taylor as rage bait/swiftie pandering but it should without a doubt be Beyoncé

[Calypso]

The answer by their own description for this should be Beyonce. It is NOT a chart performance and stats list

[Loca]

Fergie Ferg

Did you happen to see the rest of the top 20

[bielneira]

We all know it's Taylor Swift, don't we?

[chiliam]

Stop screaming no impact at the wall and hope it sticks. 

The impact Taylor has been making for years, and now they already translate to fact and figure, like the influence she has on Gen Z artists (Sabrina, Gracie, Olivia, Rose', ...), the industry shift (streaming royalty, master conversation, ticketmaster...), real economy impact wherever her tour visit and the fight to get her to perform in their city, there`s no other stars have that much impact/power. ... and the rise of singer-songwriter to the point you cannot make it nowadays if you dont write your own songs. 

 

So you can have your vibe and giggle and mistake those for real impact and keep ignoring the fact and figure lay out in front of your eyes.

[Hunter_13]

We all know Beyoncè's team paid for the #1 spot. Her propaganda knows no bounds.

The fact that people still try to downplay her impact is actually insane  Mind you nowadays there's more courses being given on Taylor's career and music legacy/impact that any other artist on earth, including Beyoncé. That used to always be thrown in there as "proof" of Beyoncé's impact fff.

White people have won enough this month, it better be beyonce
