Lmao I thought that was the Top 25 I was going nuts lmaoooooooo

but why is Lana not in the real top 25 dfq

[LateToCult 39,266]

First thing that popped up when I opened the link was the “why not” for Dua Lipa. Pls they basically said Radical Optimism was too much of a flop 

[weed 70,810]

Top 5 will be: Taylor Swift, Drake, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and perhaps The Weeknd. 

I can see them putting Beyoncé in place of Gaga... hopefully replacing someone else. 

from their honorable I think Billie, Cardi, Post, and Lana could have been included. 

lemme make up a list:

1. Lady Gaga (def won't be #1 if it's about Billboard success but if it's IMPACT, perhaps lmaoo)
2. Taylor Swift
3. Drake
4. Justin Bieber
5. Beyoncé
6. The Weeknd
ADD: Adele
7. Britney Spears
8. Nicki Minaj
9. Rihanna
10. Ed Sheeran
11. Miley Cyrus
12. Lil Uzi Vert
13. Harry Styles
14. Ariana Grande
15. Bruno Mars
16. Skrillex
17. Lil Nas X
18. Calvin Harris
19. Pharrell Williams
20. DJ Khaled

Why Not Top 25? Formidable as the Cult of Lana has become over the past decade-plus, it is still mostly a cult – her actual top 40 presence has been more minimal than you’d think, with her only two Hot 100 top 10 appearances coming via an uncharacteristic EDM remix and a chill sesh alongside the world’s biggest artist.

True but we are talking “pop” stars, not only just which pop stars have the most important hits.

u can’t deny the impact Lana has had on pop culture. She influenced many of today’s artists so I just find it weird that she isn’t in the real list.

it’s just my opinion btw

[SlaeUrAnus 15,519]

1. Beyonce

2. Gaga

3. Taylor

4. Rihanna

5. Britney 

[Boris2 9,236]

1. Taylor

2. Beyoncé 

3. Drake

4. Ed Sheraan 

5. Bruno Mars 

6. The Weekdn 

10-15. Gaga 

[Scar97 1,416]

Crazy Billie isn’t on that list

[jacs vs looser 3,363]

I think you're all getting your hopes up too high thinking Gaga will be top 3, even top 5 seems difficult. I think top 10 is more realistic, which is honestly a huge feat in itself tbh.

[RenegAde 17,897]

Judging by these honourable mentions I'm not looking foward to the top25
