Billboard has revealed the greatest pop star of the 21st Century… any guesses on who?

No… It's not Taylor Swift... it's Beyoncé!!

Taylor came in close 2nd place – even though she was named the bestselling pop star of the 21st century.

Billboard took into account Queen Bey's revolutionary 2013 visual album, which is what nabbed her the number 1 spot and ushered in a new era of visual albums from other artists.

Rounding out the top five… are Rihanna at three, Drake at four, and Lady Gaga at five.
