Billboard's choice of Beyonce as the greatest pop star of the 21st century highlights her impact, particularly through her game-changing 2013 self-titled album, which set a new standard for visual albums.
Despite an all-female top three featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna, the overall list remains predominantly male, showcasing 14 male artists compared to only 11 female artists.
Justin Bieber's eighth placing on the list has drawn criticism from his wife Hailey, who questioned Billboard's judgment, declaring their ranking of him as 'a f-king joke'.
While stars like Pink and Christina Aguilera were notable omissions, Billboard cited Pink's inability to string together enough major hits as the reason for her exclusion from the top names.
