Taylor Swift Tops Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Drake, & Adele to Be Named Billboard’s #2 Greatest Pop Star of the Century / #Beyhive Buzz As Beyonce Is Presumed to Be #1

Though typically cordial due to the mutual admiration their faves Taylor Swift and Beyonce have for each other, the divas’ fans (affectionately called the #Swifties and #Beyhive respectively) have been locked in social media debates over the last few weeks over who should be crowned Billboard’s ‘Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century.’

With competition from the likes of Usher, Drake, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Adele out of the way due to lower rankings on the tally, it was presumed Swift and Bey would be the finalists duking it out for the top two spots.

On Tuesday afternoon (November 26), Billboard announced a shocker: Taylor tapped in at #2.

Branding her the “most famous woman in the world,” Billboard lifted a laud-filled praise session for the Pop diva as a needle-pushing pioneer who has “rejected culture’s previous expectations for female artists to be overtly sexy, pliable and cool, she was able to forcefully, gravitationally bend culture to her will and become one of the world’s biggest undisputed pop stars, despite her eight-year late start in country music.”

Elsewhere in the write-up, the music Bible’s staff applauded her unmatched stats including having the most Hot 100 entries among women, the most #1 albums in Billboard 200 history among women, being of the most impressive touring artists of all time (box office revenue), and many more.

And while #Swifties approved of the lengthy article, the news certainly suggests Beyonce is #1.  At the time of this report, however, such has yet to be confirmed.
