Every season, the music industry sees a new starship trying to dock its journey to the anchor of success. And as much as it leaves the fans with more options, the stars, themselves, keep running out of one. Although time never stops for anyone and the ups and downs of careers are only justified to make space for the new and emerging, artists like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga have carved a legacy unshackled of such dents. However, if the question circles to crowning the greatest pop star of the century, though the artists may not, their fandoms are ready to declare their candidacy.

Chart Data on X recently rolled out their predictions for the top 5 artists who could make it to Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list. While many thought that required quite some brainstorming with the statistics, the names the outlet included were not so far from the expected with Queen Bey, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Drake. However, if one were to ask the music fans, they would shrink the possibility to the best three, including Beyoncé, Swift, and Gaga.

The outlet even gauged the fans’ opinions of who they believed deserved the number one. However, fans online were rather busy restructuring that top list, with some attempting to shrink while others dusted the throne for one particular artist. The names that did most rounds were, of course, Taylor Swift, with many even convinced that the chart would be otherwise “rigged” if she did not make it to the top. But the Queen Bey hive and the Gaga fans were also not letting the crown slip so easily.

Although some fans raised their eyebrows over some of the missing names, every fan laid bare their case ultimately for the music gods to decide. 

The music industry has witnessed all kinds of wars, whether in the pop kingdom or hip-hop arena. However, with the contest now confined to the pop legends of the 21st century, more than the artists, their fandoms are ready with an arsenal of facts. However, there were mitigators whose fact-checks did not pertain to any single artist but to all, making the race all the more competitive.

Some fans believed Beyoncé’s chances are rather heavy to take the top spot, but Taylor Swift’s record-breaking achievements cast a shadow of doubt.

Meanwhile, in spite of the inspiring journey Lady Gaga has in the musical realm, her key warriors capitalized on caps lock to make their case more convincing. However, despite the thread narrowing down from five to three, it goes without saying that the question for the top has every fandom needing an advocate.
