Britney is. She might fall somewhere in the top 29.

There transexual community icons named on page 1,2,3, are not.
Shakira is.

A "musical icon"? Nope. Beyonce is more of a pop culture icon, all encompassing that is.

Someone that's a "musical icon" is a person whose primary notoriety is them being a music artist (Stevie, more or less Aretha, Frank Sinatra, etc).

One of, but not the biggest.

Yes,if you say no,stay pressed.

No, there are much bigger music icons.

Top 2:
1. Britney Spears
2. Beyoncé.

She's a part of pop culture psyche. The receipts for Beyoncé date back to 1998, so no way are Gaga or Rihanna even worth mentioning. She's made her mark twice. First with Destiny's Child and then as a solo artist. She's still the most relevant pop girl 10 years after her solo debut and 16 years after DC. And with relatively few solo releases (and scandals) compared to most of her peers.

She certainly is the most glorified pop star of her generation, for that reason, she's above Britney, so yes.

Yes, she is. King

As far as female artists go Beyonce is up there with Adele, Gaga and Britney. But I think overall Eminem is the most iconic artist of our generation. He can drop an album tomorrow and it would sell huge numbers just because its an Eminem album.

Most Iconic Artists (2000's)
1. Eminem
2. Britney Spears
3. Beyonce
4. Lady Gaga
5. Usher
6. Adele (debut came out in 2009 so her impact was born with 19)
7. Justin Timberlake
8. Destiny's Child
9. Alicia Keys (No One & Fallin are iconic)
10. Jay Z

That would be my list tbh

Lol no. not even top 100, you need to be known worldwide for that..
