But he is a star in popular music, at least you could say he's a pop star.

01. Madonna
Who else but Madonna could top this list ? She is the best-selling female artist of all time (over 250 million records sold). In 2009, the Sticky & Sweet Tour, became the highest grossing tour by a solo artist. She had her 38th American top 10 hit two weeks ago, thanks to her new single Give Me All Your Luvin. Her new album, MDNA, already topped 41 iTunes charts with the pre-orders only and her Super Bowl performance was the most watched in History. Madonna is 53 year-old but she’s not ready to give up. The throne of pop will be hers till the end of time.
02. Britney Spears
“The legendary Miss Britney Spears” has achieved more in ten years than anybody else in History (expect Michael and Madonna). Her songs and music videos are epic, so are her looks and her performances. Moreover, Britney had one of the biggest comebacks of all time, after her major meltdown in 2007. Miss American Dream taught the world to be strong and that one should never give up. In 2011, at 29, she was given the MTV Video Vanguard Award for her legendary career.

Your definition of "pop" is mystifying. Janis Joplin?

I assume the list just meant "popular"
Janis is the only one who's music might not be "Pop" though.

I took it more as "pop music", and although many of those you listed have had success in pop music, their main genres aren't pop. Shania, Missy, Aretha, etc. all represent highlights in other genres that found success in pop imo.
Impact has a lot to do with it, and although Robyn's music is absolutely stronger than some of those on the list, she's not really popular enough to be on the list. But, I'm in the US, I know she's much bigger overseas, so I have a much different view than others might, I bet the person who wrote this is from America... I mean, they included Katy Perry for goodness sake

For me, it was a mixture of musical influence and quality. I know Robyn isn't that influential but her quality (of her last 2 efforts) is incredibly high, so I included her.
And Aretha, Shania, and Missy are all Pop crossovers. Missy is Hip Hop/Pop or R&B/Pop, Aretha is Soul/Pop (sorta/kinda like Adele), and Shania is Country/Pop.

Why is my fave questionable? 
If someone has facts to backup those claims then do so, otherwise enjoy my WP.
Actually, I don't care about some random blog, so many of you guys will be off easy this time.

Because someone disagreed with you, they deserve points?
Stay pressed.
