And if for every Gracie, we're getting an Olivia and a Phoebe, then this is a trade I'm willing to make. 

One Disgracie is already too many

There's a rumour coming from the Billboard headquarters that the Florida!!! artists occupy the whole Top 2, so you know who is first ladies

the meltdown. LMAO

 

[Arrows]

Why are you guys so upset over this list? 
 

It's like 5 journalists who made it based on their opinions. It's not that deep. Read the articles, they're what's interesting, not the ranking.

[skeeyee]

#1 chick don't need no hype 

 

[PrettyHurts]

Deserved! Taylor is MAJAH. But Yonka deserves #1 for her talent, impact, and longevity

You do know that you don't need to follow a public account to see the tweets right? This tweet showed up when I clicked "Taylor" on the trending tab.

Who really cares either way lmao. 

[Kalmanta]

So do we know when they announce Bey as #1? Next Tuesday or the week after when the BBMA's take place?

[SashaDevachelli]

And the winner is… Addison Rae female pop vocalist

[Jon Snow]

Beyoncé is the only one on the list that others from top 5 (and probably top 10) have cited as an inspiration. Taylor said it multiple times, and recently in the caption of their photo from her movie premiere. She has also covered a Beyoncé song. Beyoncé not only influenced Rihanna, she also pushed her career by telling that Rihanna is "a beast" to important people. Rihanna even performed as a part of a Destiny's Child tribute early in her career. Drake has expressed his love for her numerous times, has a song titled "Girls Love Beyoncé" and has sampled Beyoncé's songs. Lady Gaga has not only collaborated with her twice (Drake did thrice) and expressed her admiration and acknowledged Beyoncé's influence, but she also mentioned how seeing Beyonce on TV made her want to be a popstar. It is truly deserved

Good for her! 

[Comedor]

Congrats to all the girls who made the list. Beyonce on top was to be expected, she checks every box. 

[Lorenzo22]

don't agree with the placements but both of them are undoubtedly the biggest forces in music today (and have been for a few years now)  i truly believe there's no discography as consistent, as heartfelt and varied as taylor's and without the fantastic music she wouldn't be the biggest musician in the planet. i wouldn't consider myself a bey fan since renaissance is the only record of her that i use and haven't really explored more of her discography, but i respect her so freaking much, there's genuinely no one as talented as her in the industry. hopefully she releases the tour movie on streaming or at least digital purchase 

[Kool_Aid_King]

Top 2 and she ain't #2  

[istan4badgalriri]

Beyoncé deserves that #1 spot  

 

& Taylor wouldn't have deserved to be more than 1 spot higher than Rihanna, so fair enough 

[Brooklyn Baby]

Beyoncé deserves that #1 and Taylor would agree.
