Kim is an A lister. Mess, she's super famous and global. She's maintained an empire for years now.

Rich celeb =/ A-List

He's been one for years.

Chris Brown, though.

He's been A-List since like 2010. He was literally on every magazine when Baby was smashing.

He literally always has been.

No

Why are people acting like A-Listers need to be treated like gods?

Britney Spears was still A-List in 2007 and still is today.

Lady Gaga was still A-List in 2013 and still is today.

Kim Kardashian is A-List.

Paris Hilton is A-List.

Though it can and does boost your status, respect is not necessarily a prerequisite.

Justin Bieber is an A-List star, especially in America. I don't care for him but, like, c'mon.

he always was

Always been

In terms of celebrity, isn't he rivaled by only Kim Kardashian this decade?

In terms of music sales, he's been A-List since his debut and now he's peaking even higher

Chris Brown is an A-lister but Justin wasn't until now? GO!

Hasn't he been one since "Baby (feat. Ludacris)"

Lord, this site. JB isn't an A-Lister. He's just a B-list singer.

Durr dur duh

He's been an A-Lister ever since Baby went viral

Tell that to the an Oscar winner - an actual A-listers btw - and watch their reaction.
