According to Billboard magazine, Beyoncé has just clinched the title of the greatest pop star of the 21st century.

On Tuesday (Dec. 03, 2024), the iconic music publication revealed its highly anticipated decision, placing Queen Bey at the pinnacle of their carefully curated list of 25 greatest pop stars, following months of suspenseful rankings reveals.

“Since late August, we've been rolling out our picks for the artists who have most defined pop stardom for the last 25 years,” Billboard said. While noting the leading pick, the music and entertainment magazine said, “The reasons why Beyoncé captured the top spot on our list were beyond numerous — ranging from her 25 years of timeless albums and singles, to her incalculable industry impact and influence on other artists, to her peerless raw talents as a singer and performer.

“But perhaps the most important of all was her singular ability to create moments: indelible pieces of pop culture history that she has generated over the course of her quarter century of superstardom, which are first and foremost all quintessentially Beyoncé.”
