Beyoncé’s Instagram
Beyoncé made a big splash when she was voted “The Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century” by Billboard. However, netizens rolled their eyes at the magazine’s new “Greatest Pop Stars of 2024” list, where Beyoncé saw a decline in rankings.
On December 18, Billboard named the “Love on Top” singer the seventh greatest pop star of 2024.
According to this column, Billboard touched on several key points when discussing Beyoncé’s impact this year due to her latest album “Cowboy Carter,” her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and her highly anticipated Superbowl performance in the NFL.
It also covers the singer’s standing on the charts, detailing the successful performance of “Cowboy Carter” in the Billboard 200. This is followed by a spotlight on the singer’s social media presence. Beyoncé thanks her introduction of Team USA at the Paris Olympics and inclusion in a Levi’s Commercial.
Although Beyoncé’s latest achievement on Billboard’s “Greatest Pop Stars of 2024” wants to be celebrated, some have pointed out how random the outlet’s selections are on the list their. They also expressed their views on Beyoncé’s drop from her previous first place to her current seventh place.
However, some say it makes sense for Beyoncé to be #7 in 2024, as this year has been heavily touted for a number of breakthroughs from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift.
There’s no shade or anything. But this is a pretty fair position for her to take if it only happens THIS YEAR. Bc this year is the year of Chappell, Billie, Sabrina, Charli, Taylor and Ariana. https://t.co/mdb8frsmGM
