Billboard's Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century | #3 Rihanna


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised BTS is higher than Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars or One Direction. Seriously?

 

Even Pink, Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys are bigger than BTS.

 

I wonder if Black Eyed Peas will make it, or maybe they are not considered pop stars.

Maybe if you live in the West. None of those acts are bigger than BTS in Asia, however. 

 

Globally BTS has moved more units than all of them too, might I add.

It's a list of pop stars? I'm sure Coldplay will be mentioned when they do their "25 alternative bands that sound identical" list.

So you think Amy?

I agree with your predictions except I don't think it'll be Frank or Amy. I couldn't tell you who I think will be there (I guess we'll find out), but this list has been overwhelmingly dominated by the most numerically successful artists, and neither of them really saw that.

Probably someone 3rd... But definitely not Frank Ocean

I'm a little surprised to see Eminem so low.  He is the second biggest artist of the 21st century!

Yeah but she is not eligible.

Adele or Taylor will probably be #1. Bey and Rih top 5 I'm assuming. Happy to see that Miss Arianka will be in the top 10. To think that at one point people didn't even consider her a MPG :giraffe: talent won

I think it might be Mariah because of uearly christmas slayage, and she had comeback in 2000s.

That's the thing. All of the most successful artists are either already on their revealed list or the ones I listed above :skeleton: it's so weird.
