MADONNA
The Queen of Pop deserves to be on the $10 bill solely for her 45 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. The eternal fashion icon is also one of the top-touring female artists of all time.



BEYONCE
All hail Queen Bey. Named one of Time's most influential people in the world and a self-proclaimed feminist, Beyonce is the one person who can spread girl power across the nation with just her fierce face on a bill. She's a survivor, and an owner of 20 Grammy Awards.



MARIAH CAREY
Carey has had 18 No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, more than any other solo artist. Her career speaks for itself, but you can be sure her face would be accompanied by something dreamy on the bill -- a rainbow, perhaps?

Madonna is a no-no. Mariah is the supreme bird but she's just cute.

Beyoncé and Nina Simone are actual activists so I voted them both.

Wait I want Stevie on my money NOW

Sure, Jan

Bessie Smith
Nina Simone
Aretha
Mariah
Barbra
Bey



I wouldn't mind if it were Bessie, Nina, Mahalia Jackson, or Billie Holiday tbh.

Rihanna needs to be on a Bill just so I can say"Bitch better have my money" every time a customer comes in with a ten

You missed one Billboard. Oh... they are suggesting female artists in a 10$ bill, not a 100$ one.

So funny and edgy

where is Whitney and Janet?

Shakira

I'm slightly surprised that there isn't Taylor considering the current Swift mania. I'm glad that Billboard got it right for once.

Please educate yourself. Madonna was just as much of an activist as the others you mentioned. She fought for education about AIDS and raised millions of dollars for AIDS related charities when others were scared to.

Chill a bit, boo

lol... Madonna has done A LOT more than Beyonce in the activism department, so don't even..

Like, these poor kids are brainwashed or something.

They would never consider Whitney because of her drug addiction and Janet wouldn't be considered because of the whole SB incident.

Beyonce is a LOT less controversial than Madonna and seen as less of a diva than Mariah. She'd be the best fit.
