The "right now" makes this list totally valid. Avicii is slaying. People will check out anything Pharrell and Sia are doing right now because they're writing and producing hits. And Kendrick is the biggest thing in hip hop right now. But it really doesn't matter because since it's Beyonce at #1 it's anything to discredit another accomplishment. If it was a list full of pop girls this thread would've just turned into an argument about self titled vs prism or some illogical Rihanna comparison the navy would've thought up.

The top 5 is accurate, more or less.

There is only a top 5? Surely JT made the top 6?

[QueenBLadyG]

Of course she is! Not one lie! Bey getting the rightful recognition she deserves!

All are correct with the exception of probably Avicii.

You do realize each one of these people is slaying their respective fields?

Check Spotify and check Avicii's streams for instance. Sia is the most in demand writer and getting praise. Pharrell... Nothing more has to be said. And Kendrick is looked at as "the future of Hip-Hop" by many legends in the game. Stay bitter and upset. It's obvious.

[QueenBeé]

She is definitely the biggest artist alive.

Beyonce is the only one from the big names, who released new album recently, so it makes sense.

Congrats!

I know BEYONCÉ dropped like a wrecking ball. Is that why u forgot about other Q4 releases; Britney Jean, artpop & Prism?
