Hailey Bieber reacts fiercely to Justin’s Billboard pop star ranking
- Miley Cyrus’s 15th spot is seen as undervaluing her contributions to pop music.
- Billboard’s rankings have been criticized for excluding influential artists like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey.
- Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and numerous awards solidify her status as a historic artist.
Billboard has been revealing its top 10 musicians for the Best Pop Star of the Century category. While the first and second spots remain undisclosed, the rest of the rankings have sparked heated debates. Rihanna holds the third position, with Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Kanye West landing in fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.
Justin Bieber claimed the eighth spot on Billboard’s Best Pop Star of the Century list, a ranking that left his wife, Hailey Bieber, unimpressed. When Billboard announced his position in an Instagram post, Hailey reacted by commenting, “Billboard is a fucking joke as per usual!” Although she later deleted the comment, screenshots quickly went viral, igniting widespread discussions online.
The comment sparked heated discussions on the internet. “Y’all are ridiculous to think he shouldn’t at least be top 5, let’s stop being delusional for a second,” a user wrote on X, referring to the I Don’t Care singer. “I agree with Hailey!!! Justin Bieber is the most successful male singer,” another user added.
Many people disagreed with Hailey Bieber’s reaction, arguing Justin Bieber deserved an even lower ranking than eighth on the list. “I mean, where’d she think he was gonna be ranked…” one user wrote on X. Another added, “She’s right; he needed to be lower on the list.”
Fans of Miley Cyrus redirected the discussion, expressing disappointment over her exclusion from the top 10. The “Flowers” singer currently holds the 15th spot, a ranking many feel undervalues her contributions to pop music.
Fans criticized Billboard’s rankings this year for excluding influential artists like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey. One X user asked, “Where is Lana on Billboard’s greatest pop star list?” Speculation over the top two positions has grown, with many predicting Taylor Swift and Beyoncé will take the honors. However, debates over which of the two deserves the higher spot have intensified.
Taylor Swift cemented her status as a historic artist with her record-breaking Eras Tour and a slew of awards. Meanwhile, Beyoncé dominated the American and Country music charts with her latest album, “Cowboy Carter”.
