Considering that for about the past 5+ years the industry has been set on creating and proclaiming every new female artist "the new Taylor Swift" it's undeniable that she's amongst the 5. She's also influenced big business moves that impacted countless artists on streaming platforms. She's also platforms some of today's biggest names.

 

I would say Lana Del Ray is another obvious choice. Her influence is inescapable not just in pop music but across genres.

 

Beyoncé is definitely one of the five. I'd say that her influence is felt more broadly across the industry than in terms of artists trying to be like her. Beyoncé is an unattainable influence for almost everyone. You see most of her influence in shifting the industry's practices and presentation of art.

 

I can't decide on the other two spots. I would say it comes down to Rihanna, Gaga, and Lorde. I'd probably lean towards the first two as there's a strong overlap between Lana's influence and Lorde's, and I would confidently say Lana's is more powerful.

I agree with your choices but as for the fifth it's obviously Gaga. Half of Rihanna's hits exist because of the way Gaga shaped the industry.

lana del rey, rihanna, britney spears, xtinct and lady gaga methinks

[Blackout2006]

Britney Spears steered the Pop Girl model from Madonna and spearheaded the image of a successful teenage solo pop star in a music band-saturated market. Her influence continues to linger in places like the K-pop industry (one of the biggest genres currently) and her albums such as In The Zone and Blackout have influenced innovative and critically revered artists such as Charli XCX, The Weeknd, and FKA Twigs  

Beyoncé paved the way for black R&B female artists to flourish in the 2000s like Britney Spears did.  

Lady Gaga led the entire cohort of late 2000s pop girls and brought back avant-garde, glam, and camp aesthetics into pop with massively influential dance albums such as The Fame and TFM

Lana Del Rey set the foundation for the boom of indie pop girls with Born To Die, and Lorde single-handedly shifted the sonicscape of an entire decade with just one song

Honourable mention: Avril Lavigne, who pioneered the rock scene for pop rock girls and continues to be a big influence on countless indie rock artists to this day

I meant I'd leave Lorde out of the conversation 

[byzantium]

The top 4 seems pretty clear (in order of their debut): Britney, Beyonce, Taylor, Gaga

 

The final spot is up for debate but could go to any of: Rihanna, Lana, Billie, or Olivia.

No? Dude, you cannot put Taylor Swift in the top 5 and proceed to snub some of the most influential artists from the last decade. The entire mood of pop music shifted when 'Royals' shattered through the EDM-drenched radios dominated by vibrant and shocking pop stars in the early-mid 2010s. There is no song that divides the 2010s as perfectly as Lorde's because it literally was the catalyst for "cursive" singers and inspired an entire generation of alternative pop girls in the late 2010s

2. Taylor

[Pheromosa]

Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Rihanna are undeniable in any serious list

5th is up for grabs

Billie wouldn't exist without Lana

The present doesn't exist without the past, but that doesn't make the present less influential on the future.
