Billboard magazine named the greatest pop star of the 21st century.

According to the list of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century published by the American magazine Billboard, Beyoncé ranks first.

Although singer Taylor Swift was named 'Person of the Year' by Time magazine and leads in commercial metrics, Billboard chose Beyoncé for her influence on the music industry, innovative approach, and high level of performance artistry.

By March 2000, Beyoncé was at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart as a member of Destiny's Child. Since then, the singer has released numerous hits and popular albums, as well as held many concerts that have become an integral part of mass culture. She is a symbol of innovation and excellence in the world of pop music, starting with the successful hit 'Say My Name' (1999) and culminating with her latest album 'Renaissance' (2022).

Beyoncé has received numerous awards and accolades. She holds a record 32 Grammy Awards and 27 Billboard Music Awards. In January 2025, she could receive even more awards, as her nominations for this year's Grammy ceremony include 'Song of the Year,' 'Record of the Year,' and 'Album of the Year.'

It should also be mentioned that Beyoncé started her venture into the alcoholic beverage industry by partnering with Moët Hennessy and launching a whiskey line. She shared this news on social media, holding a glass of whiskey named SirDavis.

Internal release reports that the drink SirDavis is named after Beyoncé's great-grandfather Davis Hogue, who during Prohibition in the South was involved in storing whiskey bottles while working as a farmer.

Additionally, Beyoncé paid $100,000 to the Washington Metro to ensure her fans could return home smoothly after a concert in the city.
