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 

All that and is still, to this day, butthurt that she hasn't won one particular award someone else has won 4 times over. Higher number with critics doesn't seem correct looking at AOTY and Metacritic but you do you with these "higher numbers" you speak of

Taylor 

What a Legend

She really defines the 21st Century Pop Era*
 

*(Swift, 2023)

[burninredhot]

Beyonce stans calling others a bad actor here  the lack of self awareness

 

OT: Taylor

"washing" one spot on an irrelevant billboard list that won't be remembered in 2 days... whereas in real life, well, washed up indeed

Its funny how the billboard article on Monday was threaded as if it was the second coming of the bible, yet this list is being cited as irrelevant lol 

 

Anyway, amazing for Katy to be 5th female and shows just how strong her discography was. 

Imagine how low Gaga would have been without the collabs ! 

[Yes, AND]

Yea, Billboard lists are always such a mess

 

I fail to see what is a mess about this one though. It is based on performance on the hot 100 and top 200 for the first 25 years of this century. Just cos your fave is lower than you would like doesnt mean the list is a mess... 

[Yes, AND]

Yup streaming era made longevity on the charts a lot more easy. It's why Post and Morgan Wallen are so high despite being relative newcomers

 

For that reason I assume Gaga wil surpass Katy on the next update - since the latter only gains points from Teenage Dream charting on the BB200 (and The Fame is charting similar if not higher every week) + Gaga will have DWAS & LG7 to rack up some extra points

What next update ? in 2050 ? 

[Pheromosa]

Is everyone happy now?

Katy being top 15 and kicking certain other singer out of it   and she's supposed to be the bombest pop star among mpg

But that other list wasn't about who was best at packaging and repackaging their music.  

Ik. She literally scammed her fans by selling half-baked albums.

Katy always wins in the end. Her discography from albums 1 to 3 is just too strong for other girlies and their stans to rain on.

Rihanna #3 and she was only active for ~12 of those 25 years that's crazy…

Swifties, since y'all are not well versed in seemingly any racial and cross-cultural conversations, I'll help y'all out by reminding ya'll that boiling down Beyoncé impact to "twitter vibes" is microaggression btw

 

 

OT: Taylor being #1 on numbers is what we all should expect and acknowledge  If only they're not that insecure about it

Can't tell if this is satire or not.  
 

But if serious, it's interesting how quickly the hive plays the victim on ATRL.  Over what? Defending a billionaire?

It is always funny to me how the insecurity comes out when the cold hard data is presented. 

Well done to Taylor and the other ladies who made the top 5, despite not having multiple no 1s in three decades. 

[Yes, AND]

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 just adds up all their points on the hot 100 and top 200 so it doesnt lean towards anything it just depends how well they fared.

The fact that it was probably the chart performance of Womans world and 143 which edged her ahead has me screaming !!

I don't disagree with Taylor #1 but Britney below the likes of some of these people is

There are more awards than AOTY specifically and Beyoncé has more of pretty much all of them thus Billboards music critics and editors getting together to name her the best artist of the new millennium.

 

As for metacritic Beyoncé post IASF beats taylor in that metric. Even the gift is higher than Taylor's latest album so yes numerically Beyoncé is more critically acclaimed unless acclaim is measured exclusively by AOTY awards. You know it's not but you will probably try to make that dumbass claim again 

 

The perfect analogy for their successes is Beyoncé being crowned the BEST and Taylor the most popular by billboard

 

so for the third time 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! The swifties told me none of that **** mattered to them bc she is the best seller - corroborated by billboard so I don't get your fumes at me having a ki at her

87 Khalid

Stomp a bit king. I keep forgetting how big he was between 2017-2020.

[edutada]

WAIT what happened? STOP THE COUNT!

Did they put RAIN ON ME or DWAS for my beloved Gaga???

SHE CAN'T BE BELLOW KATY PERRY
