Britney Spears is to music what The Simpsons is to television, just like Beyonce is to music what Game of Thrones is.
People don't put The Simpsons in their top lists or articles because it's almost beyond needing to be vindicated by such things.
But when historians look back at the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s in hundreds of years time, "Britney Spears" and "The Simpsons" will be documented. Will "Beyonce" and "Game of Thrones"?
Britney and the Simpsons, both passed their prime over a decade ago but still dragged out to entertain the few who can't accept reality. Beyonce and Game of Thrones, never good to begin with. I agree with your assessment.
