In response to the outlet’s announcement of her husband as the 8th star in Billboard’s list of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century, Hailey Bieber lashed out writing, “Billboard is a fucking joke as per usual!” And so many fans agree with her.
According to the beliebers ( his fanbase’s name), Justin Bieber is definitely better than Kanye West who placed 7th. One Belieber shared passionately that Justin, definitely should be in the top 3 if we’re talking about the 21st century.” Another shared that the rapper should not be in the 7th.
“How is Kanye on top if I rarely hear his music tbh. It’s rarely played on the radio and I can’t even name one of his songs tbh, the fan enquired about Billboard’s list of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century. Adding, “In terms of singles doing huge numbers. Ye is listed so highly because of his influence on pop music and music in general from 2006 to now, and his prevalence for such a long time.”
“I do think Justin Bieber should be a bit higher in pop star ranking, but I think him not really being known as a songwriter holds him back a bit.” Hailey Bieber has been incredible supportive of her husband’s career since way back in 2009 when she met him.
Billboard’s list of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century also featured other stars with Britney Spears (6), Lady Gaga (5), Drake(4), Rihanna (3) and number 2 to 1 is yet to be announced but one thing is sure, Beyonce must be either one or two.
