Beyoncé is one of the most powerful music and cultural icons in the world. Billboard decided to make that official on December 3 when they named her the greatest pop star of the 21st century. The magazine has slowly been revealing its ranking of the top 25 pop stars of the last 25 years since August, with stars like Taylor Swift (second place), Rihanna (third place), and Drake (fourth place), narrowly missing out on the top spot.
Beyoncé has been breaking records throughout her career and broke several more in 2024 with the release of her album 'Cowboy Carter.' She is likely the most well-known singer in the world, and she's one of the few stars who has achieved such a legacy through an almost unbelievably clean, uphill trajectory. It seems with each project or performance she outdoes herself, and at this point she really is her only competition at the top.
Why not read some interesting facts about Beyoncé's story so far? From her style inspiration to her favorite film, once you're done here you may as well be a part of the BeyHive (if you aren't already).
