Drake and Rihanna were in second and third place after Taylor Swift / photo REUTERSBillboard music magazine chose the best artists of the 21st century. The star rating was created based on data from the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 album charts spanning 24 years since the early 2000s.Billboard reports that after analyzing this data, the best singer of this century was an American singer Taylor Swift. For the first time, her tracks appeared in the music charts only in 2006. However, even this did not prevent her from topping the charts 14 times with her music albums and 12 more times becoming the first in the selection of “Billboard Hot 100” with her songs.
In addition, Swift is a record holder. Such were the headlines of the world tabloids, when the performer once again broke new records. Notably, she is the first celebrity to occupy all 10 spots on the chart with compositions from the album “Midnights” in 2022.
In May 2024, she repeated this success with the album “The Tortured Poets Department”. Another record for Taylor, when she spent 86 weeks at the top of the “Billboard 200” chart, which had not been achieved by any musician in the world before.
The rapper was in second place in the ranking of the best artists of the 21st century Drake. He appeared with his tracks in the music charts in 2009. Since then, 78 of his songs have reached the Top 10 on the Hot 100, for a total of 338 songs on the chart. From 2018 to 2023, Drake had the longest consecutive stay on the Hot 100 with 431 weeks.
The singer took the third step Rihanna. She entered the music charts for the first time in 2005. At that time, the still very young 17-year-old performer quickly gained world fame, and her tracks became hits. Therefore, two of her records were the first in the “Billboard 200”, and 14 singles topped the “Hot 100”. By the way, she was also recognized as the youngest star in the history of the chart, whose 10 songs ended up in the first place.
