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.  

ok but she's influenced everyone from billie eilish to taylor swift to olivia rodrigo - and everyone else who is influenced by those artists as a result. she's definitely a huge force in the industry, because even though the gp doesn't listen to her, the industry itself is captivated by her music (as well as the artists in it)

is it me or has peoples' taste in music and vocals really diminished the last 30 years...

so tired of mediocrity being praised  

im just hoping Gaga, beyonce and ari are high cuz they have the actual vocal talent to back up their fame.

I understand Billie, Dua, Cardi, Lorde and Lana being left out.

 But Kelly Clarkson and P!nk and Avril not being there makes me mad. Where is that pop-rock representation at?

yes but this list is based on chart runs which lana doesn't have lol

[GAGASEXUAL 3,458]

Lana Del Rey should be even #1

[gumzy3000 6,965]

The only people that got snubbed were Lana and Lorde. They actually changed the trajectory for pop music and made it different and exciting. Lana especially is a legend and I'm not even a huge fan 

[Locke 302]

Hope they are changing her position on this list after DWAS.

It clearly said in the first article that charts do count, but other aspects as well

So how come Katy perry be in the 25 position? What relevence does she have on culture besides a 5 #1 songs album from almost 15 years ago?

[jackweller 295]

Surprised Katy placed #25 considering she’s #9 on top digital singles artists, and was #8 top artist of 2010s. Do we know what they base this chart on exactly? Sales? charts appearance?
