[FFXIV WhiteMage 5,855]

Didn't they already did one for pop artists? SO it's gonna be between Beyonce or Taylor  

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 22,944]

They want to divide the fans for clout, how interesting

7 Britney

8 Pink

9 Kelly Clarkson

10 Billie

11 Dua Lipa

12 Avril

This list is based on BBH100 and BB200 points, meaning Taylor Swift will be no. 1 by a large margin.

Compared to the Best Popstars list they previously released Beyonce will be lower and Katy will be higher. We'll see where Gaga lands, top 10 most likely.
