Read more about the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century here — and be sure to check back next Tuesday as we start to unveil our top 10 artists!

They will reveal the top 10 on only Tuesdays now. There's 12 Tuesdays left of this year, but the last 2 are Christmas Eve and New Year's.

 

So they will likely wrap it on December 17.

I wonder which position will Britney get :foxaylove2:, from her peers only Beyoncé secured a position in the Top 10 :suburban:

has Björk been yet

I can tell a lot of you are just older and likely out of touch. It's not surprising Ariana Grande will make the top 9. She was very consistent last decade and is still huge amongst Gen Z and some millennials(moreso than some of the other girls people are listing).

Read more about the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century here — and be sure to check back next Thursday as we reveal our No. 9 artist!

Thursday next week, instead of Tuesday.

 

So maybe they will keep alternating. Tuesday then Thursday, then Tuesday, followed by Thursday.

I expected the next ones to be Ariana and Justin, and Adele above them as she is maybe the bigger force (album selling/consumption, critical acclaim, etc.)? Not like Ariana and Justin are not incredibly big and successful acts.

 

But the list does take into consideration the celebrity element, the prolificness, public image, branding, pop star appeal, pop culture impact/integrity/presence, fanbase, and such other factors. And counting it all in, I think they both do appear above/top her. She also went on hiatuses between her albums.

 

All talented and great acts ofc.

Weird they would place Ariana higher than Adele (since this is not just Hot 100 but also B200 and touring, leave alone Eminem :deadbanana:

Ariana above Adele? :deadbanana4:

I expect her to be between #5-#7, so I included her in the unexpected category

This is the first time Xtina has charted on a Billboard list since like 2012. Congrats for being part of those who missed the top 25 :msmarvel:

Remaining acts:

 

Beyoncé

Britney Spears
Rihanna
Lady Gaga
Taylor Swift
Kanye West
Justin Bieber
Drake

 

Kanye out next hopefully. There's no way he's above the other 7.

Ariana securing that position in the shortest amount of time to the rest of the presumed Top 10. She really has achieved a lot in the last decade :clap3:
