Beyoncé Being Named Billboard’s Greatest Popstar of 21st Century Sparks Great Debate on Social Media, See What Fans Are Saying

by

As someone who has spent the better part of three decades immersed in pop culture and music, I must say that Billboard’s decision to name Beyoncé the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century is not only justified but long overdue.

Online communities can be quite reactive, and individuals aren’t shy about sharing their views on various topics, even if the people involved are well-known or highly esteemed. As expected, social media users didn’t hesitate to voice their opinions when Billboard declared Beyoncé as the top pop star of the 21st century.

On December 2, the publication revealed Beyoncé as the chosen one, a decision that garnered wide approval from some, yet sparked dissent among others who proposed alternative candidates they felt more deserving of the title.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to find myself in the midst of musical greatness! Beyoncé reigned supreme, but Taylor Swift and Rihanna followed closely behind, taking the second and third spots respectively. Artists like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, and a host of others also graced this list, all recognized for their significant impact on pop music.

When it was revealed who the artist behind Cuff It is, the Beyhive undoubtedly celebrated in style, and one enthusiastic fan on platform X complimented the singer and sent their well wishes. They also shared a clip from her remarkable 2019 Coachella showcase.

A fan wrote, “Beyoncé has been declared the top popstar of the 21st century!! This is pure talent!! She can bend backward and still deliver a powerful vocal performance!! This is a lasting legacy! Not about sales figures or streaming numbers or friendship bands! It’s about fans appreciating the value of their investment! #TalentPrevails

 

One fan of Beyonce merely posted an edit with the caption, “You are the greatest pop star of the century, Beyoncé! #TalentWon”. Another fan responded, “We’ve always known that. We’re from the same place.” (or simply “We’ve known it all along.”)

 

Several individuals expressed disagreement with this. Some online users inquired about the amount Jay Z allegedly paid for the song’s rights, phrasing it as, “What did her husband actually pay for it?

In a similar vein, many Taylor Swift fans voiced their thoughts on the matter as well. One individual expressed, “Taylor was unfairly snubbed by Jay Z.” Regrettably, some others resorted to discriminatory comments. A social media user posted, “The only reason she received that recognition is due to her race.

On that popular social media site, a user commented, “Just because Beyoncé has been called the top pop star of the 21st century doesn’t give anyone a reason to resort to racism due to their feelings about this fact.

Despite spanning several decades in her career, Beyoncé has undeniably excelled across various fields. Not only has she dominated the pop scene, but she’s also ventured into other genres such as R&B, country, and rap, all of which have resonated well with her fans.
