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 :isudumblmao:

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? :lmao: 

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

if Katy on Top 25 with back to back gigantic era (TD & Prism), i could see Gaga on Top 30.

As weird as he is, Eminem should have been Top 5.

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.

Still outdid her in every metric in such a short time. Taylor, #1 greatest popstar of this century

She had multiple pop hits before 2014- YBWM, WANEGBT, IKYWT, 22 

according to your logic, Kanye, Eminem should not be included in this list as they never released pop albums.

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.

This list doesn't rank on based on who came before whom? 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.

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

This list is a pure **** :rip: . They paid dust to such major artists like Avril Lavigne or Norah Jones. Not even honorable mention :rip: . They were such huge sellers in the early 2000s

People having meltowns and fighting because of this list  :deadbanana4:

 

It's not like it's a decade end countdown based on real data or something like that :skull: 

 

It's based on THEIR OPINION.

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

So Rihanna or Gaga?

Yes but Britney and Rihanna did the S&M remix together so it could be that as well

That's not a tribute though, Gaga presented her for her VMA tribute.

A lot of huge sellers from the early 2000's have not remained culturally or musically relevant over the years.

 

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

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 :michael:
