The list has named “the artists who have most defined pop stardom for the last 25 years”. 25 Artist has been listed, while Lady Gaga, Drake, Rihanna and Taylor Swift are in Top 5. Billboard is slowly revealing these names, creating a bit of buzz among fans! Only the top spot is left.
Taylor Swift Takes Spot 2
Taylor Swift making to the list was very definite. Her Eras Tour, which was by far the most costly tour in history, went amazing! And also she ranks as the world’s wealthiest female musician in 2023, at $1.6 billion. But second position made few swifties a little upset.

The impact these two women have had this century is far greater than Beyoncé’s. https://t.co/tIG8Ykdcbb pic.twitter.com/Fj2EtgNVzb
