Beyoncé’s unmatched legacy includes a record 32 Grammy Awards, making her the most decorated artist in the award's history. With 11 nominations for her 2024 album Cowboy Carter, she is set to extend her record at the upcoming Grammy Awards in January.

Her dominance on the Billboard charts is equally remarkable. Beyoncé boasts nine No. 1 singles and 24 top 10 hits on the Hot 100. Additionally, eight of her albums, starting with her 2003 debut Dangerously in Love, have claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Billboard launched its ranking of the top 25 pop artists over the past 25 years in August, celebrating musicians who have "exemplified pop greatness" and left an indelible mark on the music industry. Taylor Swift and Rihanna follow Beyoncé in the top three, with Adele, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Drake completing the top 10.

Other notable mentions include Katy Perry at No. 25, along with stars like Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, and Usher filling the ranks.
