I Did NOT Agree With Billboard’s “Greatest Pop Stars Of The 21st Century” List, So I Made My Own (Way More Correct) Version
End of year “best of” lists and roundups always, without a doubt, piss me RIGHT TF off. I’m convinced these outlets decide their rankings just to personally and vindictively annoy ME, Bella Torchia, BuzzFeed employee, micro-micro Canadian influencer, and most importantly, gay person over 30 with perfect taste.
Reading the list, I couldn’t help but wonder: who decided Billboard had the final say on the best pop stars of the 21st century? As I scrolled through their rankings, equal parts annoyed and inspired, I realized something — if their list didn’t match my vision, why not rewrite the rules myself? After all, pop music isn’t just about charts; it’s about the moments, memories, and melodies that define our lives.
So I took matters into my own hands, and am now presenting YOU, dear reader, BuzzFeed’s OFFICIAL list of the ~Best Pop Stars of the 21st Century~, except it’s not official, and was just decided be me, one kind of random she/they named Bella 🙂↕️
