Britney Spears is No. 6 on Billboard’s ‘Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century’ list, but fans disagree: ‘She’s truly the blueprint’ Music Matters Media
Billboard reveals which artists have been included in its list of “The Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century.” But fans disagree with Britney Spears’ ranking.
Billboard’s article was done to commemorate the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, and the list features a total of 25 pop stars who have made an impact over the past 25 years.
Among the artists is the iconic Britney Spears, who helped shape the music landscape by becoming the “blueprint” for modern pop stars. From the 90s to the 2000s, Spears captivated everyone with her songs, performances, fashion, and legacy in the music industry.
Billboard recounts Spears’ journey during the “Golden Age” of pop music, highlighting the influence of her legendary hits “Oops!…I Did It Again”, “Toxic”, ” Gimme More”, “I’m A Slave 4 U” and more.
However, fans shared their thoughts on the icon’s place on the list and said that Spears at least deserved to be in the top 5.
Netizens began emphasizing Spears’ relevance to the music industry and how she left a lasting impression on the new generation of singers.
In the post, netizens commented: “Britney is number 1 and everyone knows it, she is the blueprint” and “This is so low for @britneyspears, she gave birth to so many stars current pop music! She’s the whole music industry!”

What kind of bad joke is this? There has not been and will not be another pop star who has had the same impact as she has had on popular culture. Reality emerged as we know it today thanks to her.

Britney Spears even retired and influences this new generation to this day. Not to mention that EVERYTHING about her is iconic and memorable (even her personal life)
