(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Mina Lim = American pop star Taylor Swift was selected as the second best pop star of the 21st century by American music media Billboard.
On the 26th (local time), Billboard magazine ranked Swift as 2nd on its list of ‘Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century’ and said, “Taylor Swift, who transitioned from country music to pop music, is a leader in both form and scale. “We achieved success never seen before,” he said.
The media mentioned that Swift is the only singer to win ‘Album of the Year’ four times at the Grammy Awards, America’s highest music awards ceremony, and that she has the second-most songs of all time on the Billboard chart ‘Hot 100’. .

“This star is still surpassing himself and is still moving in the same unknown direction while most others have long since grown tired or taken a different route,” he said. “For someone with nearly 20 years of experience, this is extremely difficult. “It’s a rare thing,” he said.
“At just 34 years old, her catalog of songs has inspired universities around the world to treat them with the same level of analysis as Wordsworth, and has inspired Spotify, Apple Music, and Spotify for fairer streaming rates.” “Business innovations like the negotiation of new music and how to re-release old music into new blockbusters will continue to reverberate throughout the industry.”
Meanwhile, while Billboard announced Swift as the second best pop star of the 21st century and first place has not yet been revealed, music fans and American media expected Beyonce to be first.
Since last August, Billboard has been announcing the top pop stars of the 21st century one by one in reverse order starting from 25th, but Beyoncé has not yet appeared.
Previously, Katy Perry (25th), Ed Sheeran (24th), One Direction (22nd), Bruno Mars (20th), BTS (19th), Jay Z (16th), Miley Cyrus (15th), Justin Timberlake (14th place), Eminem (12th place), and Usher (11th place) were named in order.
The top 10 included Adele (10th), Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Rihanna (3rd).
Some of Swift’s fans expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Swift was ranked second instead of first.
One fan wrote on X (old Twitter), “This is ridiculous. Swift is the best.”
However, one music fan who likes both Swift and Beyonce wrote on the online community Reddit, “Although Taylor has become bigger in recent years, Beyonce has been a huge star since the beginning of this century.”
