The way Taylor stomps on Beyoncé when only stats and not vibes come to play's insane! Beyoncé will never catch up to Taylor. NEVER!

taylor doesnt have any cultural impact,

and yet is #2 on the other list favoring impact and influence, above any and everyone but Beyoncé. Poor other artists this century.

Right?

 

If Taylor is #2 on the vibes list, and #1 on the stats list

 

while Beyonce is #1 on the vibes list and #7 on the stats list

 

who is the real winner? 

[Cruel Summer]

I feel like this list may appear to lean towards singles (see Rihanna being #3) just because of how music consumption works these days. The strongest album artist in the industry today is still #1 as we can see, but seeing Eminem as "low" as #5 is a little surprising at face value. But then when you get into the sheer album equivalent units generated by the massive hits artists like Rihanna and Post have created, it makes a little more sense.

 

Very impressive to see Rihanna so high by the way, with as long as it's been since she released. Taylor and Drake battle for a lot of chart records and Billboard/press attention these days, but I think it's reasonable to see Rihanna as the third major pillar defining the last two decades of popular music in purely commercial terms (when we get into cultural impact, of course, the whole thing becomes different, hence the other Billboard list about that).

it's based on performance on Hot 100 and Billboard 200

"Billboard's Top Artists, Top Billboard 200 Albums and Top Hot 100 Songs of the 21st Century recaps reflect performance on weekly charts dated Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 28, 2024. The Top Artists category ranks the best-performing acts in that span based on activity on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100. "

 

This list isn't a streaming list  so Taylor makes sense here, afterall she does have the most Billboard Awards.

 

stop the count though.  Sabrina has been pumping out music for over 10 years and had her breakout year.  Where is she ? 

[BlahBlahBlah]

Fergie there with just the help of The Duchess proves it is that ***** 

Spoiler

unless they are including BEP stats

3 of the top 4 artists being the same as the vibes list 

I'm sure if you add Destiny's Child numbers to Beyonce's she'd be back in the Top 4. But that other list wasn't about who was best at packaging and repackaging their music.  

[BravoTangoWhiskey]

Miss Kelly being nearly top 25 is so validating!

 

Get those annual Underneath The Tree points to climb, reina!!

seems like they created this list just to calm down a certainly fan base 

 

Or maybe, just maybe, cause we entered the end of the first quarter of the century

The girl you're shading has higher numbers with critics across the board on top of anyone with eyes and ears being able to observe the objective difference in quality so I would just not. Since this is all about objectivity and numbers
 

So like i said 

 

She is a bad singer dancer actor and performer but she WILL get her name written at the top of stats based lists!
