People are divided after Billboard published a list of the biggest female artists of the 21st century. The list was filled with a number of surprising entries, from one-hit-wonders to legendary chart toppers. As expected, Taylor Swift came in at No. 1, with Billboard citing her fourteen No. 1 albums and multiple Grammys. Rihanna - who hasn't released an album since 2016's Anti - came in second place, followed by Beyonce at No. 3. Adele, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Pink, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Alicia Keys filled the rest of the top 10, while Britney Spears trailed at No. 14. “Britney should be top ten she’s the queen of girly pop,” one fan wrote on social media. “Britney has influenced most of the artists in the top 10. How is she not in the top 5? Katy Perry is number 5? seriously...?” another complained.
