Billboard has named Beyoncé the greatest pop artist of the 21st century.  The outlet credited Beyoncé’s record-breaking Grammy wins and her influence as a trailblazing performer and creator for her top ranking, emphasizing her impact on pop music over the last 25 years. The 'Texas Hold 'Em' singer has had nine No. 1 hits and 24 top 10 tracks on the Hot 100, with eight albums reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.  With a record 32 Grammy wins, she is the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, and she's set to add to her total after receiving 11 nominations at the 2025 Grammys for her album 'Cowboy Carter.' After rising to fame with Destiny's Child, Beyoncé has seen 11 of her solo albums reach Billboard's top 10.  Taylor Swift was named as Billboard’s second greatest pop star of the 21st century, followed by Rihanna.
