[Togekiss 2,191]

I hope everyone keeps in mind that billboard doesn’t publish these lists as a serious journalistic endeavor, it’s literally just a click farm.

She will be #1 for all those variations mess. 
 

Britney place will be interesting after all she went through… oh and Gaga 

[LateToCult 38,933]

New Drop, new order prediction:

#8 Lady Gaga

#7 Justin Bieber 

#6 Kanye West

#5 Drake

#4 Britney Spears

#3 Rihanna

#2 Taylor Swift 

#1 Beyonce 

Alternatively:

#8 Justin Bieber

#7 Kanye West

#6 Lady Gaga 

#5 Drake

#4 Rihanna

#3 Britney Spears

#2 Beyonce 

#1 Taylor Swift

Sadly, I don’t think there’s much of a chance for Ga to crack top 5

Finally some payola amirite? 

[Chromatography 9,787]

I know they’ll put Taylor at #1 which sucks 

[Pamplemousse 309]

Gaga is at #7 just like LG7 

[HermesGr 957]

Britney on top 3? When was her peak and until when? Cause i was thinking she starts to fade way too early from charts and discography in general. No?

I can see Rihanna on top or Beyonce 🤢 or Taylor 🤢. Yeah i wish for Gags but lets pray for a top 5 and higher than Britney and Justin. 

As i can see they don't count chart success only but a general impact on pop culture.

Everyone else uses it. Istg if Gaga doesn’t payola herself

There’s no way in hell Britney is charting higher than Gaga.

Britney had a successful career until 2012, when she released Scream & Shout and hosted the X-Factor. Then it went downhill.

Effectively, Britney was huge from 1999 until 2012. 13-14 years.

Gaga’s already been around for 15 years and there’s no sign of stopping. She’s consolidated her place as a legendary performer while Britney’s singing voice and dancing really aren’t even comparable to when she started in the 90s.

Gaga is definitely charting higher than Britney, there’s no question about that.

Britney broke in 1998. She was huge in 98 and especially 1999. Huge. But if that doesn't count, I can't see her charting higher than Gaga, Rihanna, etc. Not Britney's fault, of course. But if her biggest year is technically ineligible, then she really should be no higher than 7 or 8. 

[Concertaholic 5,343]

I understand and will accept if Beyonce is ranked higher than Gaga, but I swear if they rank Rihanna higher 

[Finneas 746]

My predictions:

8. Britney Spears

7. Lady Gaga

6. Kanye West

5. Justin Bieber

4. Drake

3. Rihanna

2. Beyoncé

1. Taylor
