With so much success over so many years, it’s no surprise that Taylor Swift has ended up on top of ‘Billboard’s Top Artist of the 21st Century list.

With a record like 14 #1 albums on the Billboard 200 album chart — the most of all female artists — in the first quarter of this century, as well as 12 #1 hits on the Hot 100. Sounds like a winner to me.

The other big stars in the Top 10 include Drake, Rihanna, Post Malone, Eminem, The Weeknd, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Usher.
