If Avril Lavigne somehow takes one of these top eight spots I’ll be so happy! I don’t really expect she will. Although I am surprised she didn’t even get an honorable mention but Olivia did.

But this is a Billboard list, not RollingStones 

Not me writing that testament, over the wrong company, LMAO . My folie à deux moment, I'll leave it as is, it's a part of my artistic journey .

8. Rihanna

7. Taylor

6. Justin (Bieber)

5. Billie

4. Kanye

3. Gaga

2. Britney

1. Beyonce

Britney deserves top 2 - even #1.

I don’t think Billie will get this high. I’d say 8 or 7. She only has 1 #1 billboard hot 100 song (Bad Guy) and now Birds of a Feather (a number #2) is her second highest charting song. BUT she has potential that they might account for, so who knows?

Billie isn’t on the list. Billboard said she was too recent.

Another lil' black star in the wild! I LOVE Avril Lavigne. Her & Gaga are my two fav artists of all time. It blows my mind that they have not had a proper interaction at any event... my tiny queens.

Definitely insane how she doesn't have an honorable mention... she was a major influence on Olivia being the talented artists she is today! That (hopefully) means she's in the Top 8, but I kind of doubt it. 

Avril is so underrated tbh... her vocals

I can see Whitney, Mariah, Britney, Amy Winehouse, or Justin Bieber being in the top 10

Taylor Swift, Madonna, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga in the top 5

Michael Jackson is probably #1

Michael has been dead for the most part of this century lol

The list is about 21st century.

Why are rappers on a Pop music list?

Because rap music was popular in 00s, so that makes it pop(ular) music  idk either lol

Madonna and Michael Jackson won’t be on this list, it’s specifically from the the last 21 years. Madonna is still obviously around but I feel they are only including acts that debuted since 2000. 

[monstertoronto 8,740]

I think the remaining 8 (not in order) will be

Gaga

Rihanna

Beyonce

Bieber

Taylor

The Weeknd

Drake

Ed Sheeran

Billie is already on the Honourable Mention list. 

[River 104,618]

Taylor is first,  bey second, Gaga 7

[ALGAYDO 29,873]

There’s no way in hell Gaga is no.1 (she should be tho let’s be real) but she’s definitely AT LEAST no.6-4 imho
