IBelonginYourArms Posted November 2 Posted November 2 On 10/30/2024 at 4:28 AM, Eternium said: You've gone on enough, delusional Little Monster. Lady Gaga's last studio album barely hit the top 20 and fell off after one week. Her last film lost the studio over $300M. Her lead single to her latest studio album is bombing and is only projected to hit #25, and that was before Tyler the Creator dropped an album bomb. Britney's last leads went #17 (Make Me… with no music video and almost no playlisting) and #12 (Work ***** with no music video and almost no playlisting). Gaga was not able to outlast Britney nor was she able to come close to Britney's overall career. I can post the RIAA numbers if you'd like Your own fave was literally asking Britney to be part of her music and even worked Toxic into the Renaissance Tour during Thique. How are you going to try and come for Britney when your own fave is paying tribute? It sold 8M+ pure sales this century, gave us the 8th best-selling physical single of the 2000s, etc. Her debut was still active this century and the most impactful era of the century by a mile. The delusion. Beyonce is bombing and she had to use payola to get her solo career off the ground and then again to save Lemonade (a shame Tidal went belly up because Lemonade's bombing on streaming now). Rihanna's career was full of hits, but her albums were always middling and she never really was a phenomenon. Taylor and Rihanna both have minimal influence because they're either late to trends or just not experimental. Britney Spears gave us Max Martin, vocal fry, K-pop, hyperpop, PC music, etc. Beyonce gave us Rich Harrison and staccato rap-singing. There is literally no competition here - there's literally a multi-billion dollar industry built around Britney's impact. TLDR Shut the **** up and enjoy that #6 7

LegaMyth Posted November 2 Posted November 2 1. Beyoncé 2. Drake 3. Taylor Swift 4. Lady Gaga 5. Rihanna
NEUTRON Posted November 3 Posted November 3 17 hours ago, The Music Industry said: Objectively Taylor should be #1 but I wouldn't be surprised if Billboard gives in to stan culture pressure to avoid backlash and goes in with the safer PR pick (Beyoncé). It would have nothing to with stan culture whatsoever. Taylor didn't take off until 2009 while Beyoncé was already a global superstar. 1

I never said she didnt have pop hits. I said she didnt go pop until 2014--which is the truth, because up until 1989 she was still considered a full blown Country artist. Also... Eminem & Kanye were both music titans before Taylor ever blew up. You couldnt make this list without them.

Idk if Taylor will be #1 or not but yeah she truly deserves that top spot. It doesn't matter when she went pop because she was outselling others well before it.
aesthetic bih Posted November 3 Posted November 3 I hope they reveal the Top 2 all at once cuz if they reveal Taylor is #2, then people already know Beyonce is #1 and vice versa
KKCuteCat Posted November 3 Posted November 3 This list is a pure **** . They paid dust to such major artists like Avril Lavigne or Norah Jones. Not even honorable mention . They were such huge sellers in the early 2000s 1
Green Posted November 3 Posted November 3 People having meltowns and fighting because of this list It's not like it's a decade end countdown based on real data or something like that It's based on THEIR OPINION. 1

TeemoR Posted November 3 Posted November 3 14 minutes ago, burninredhot said: So Rihanna or Gaga? Pretty sure it's Gaga (2011 VMAs?)
burninredhot Posted November 3 Posted November 3 11 minutes ago, TeemoR said: Pretty sure it's Gaga (2011 VMAs?) Yes but Britney and Rihanna did the S&M remix together so it could be that as well

Highly doubt anyone was expecting to see Norah Jones on the list 1

Taylor didn't take off until 2009 while Beyoncé was already a global superstar. And yet Taylor is still the bigger artist of the two by every measurable metric. Taylor is objectively the biggest pop star of the 21st century
