Billboard ranks Kendrick Lamar #1 greatest pop star of 2024 for having one of the most dominant years in music history

[PHamm]

Gnx even platinum yet? Taylor swift sold like 3 million albums in a day and had a record breaking world wide tour ? Whats the criteria ?

What was historic about it? His album sold 300k first week

Lol first Drake then the 9ers. You BEEN spiraling

 

[LuuqMaan]

Oh my.

So, one is a pop artist and the other is hiphop

According to the yts

The billboard awards's winners are determined based on Billboard chart performance during the eligibility period, which starts in 2023, Kendrick didn't have an album out . Drake even won purely based off FATD. Kendrick is winning BBA hiphop in 2025 with GNX (2024) for sure...

The Billboard's biggest pop star is based on not only the performances but also the impact within the calendar year.

Drake fans are slow. Soon they'll be comparing 2025 grammy to 2020 mtv awards

I don’t care about none of that

Drake won the “hip hop” award

Kenny won the “pop star” award


And yall in here dancing through the streets about what these cacs got to say.

So you're saying a hip hop star got bytch smacked and shytted on by a pop star? The hip hop star. Lost horribly. To a pop star.

nikka, no matter which way you slice it, it makes y'all look bad. I don't know what's so hard about conceding and moving on instead of looking for some phyrric victory that doesn't exist

Looking at that list, I would argue these:

2001- Alicia Keys >>>> Jennifer Lopez in 2001. You could also argue Destiny's Child

1996- The Fugees

2003- 50 Cent. Outkast is also arguable. I'd put Beyonce 3rd.

2007- Kanye and Chris Brown

2013- Justin Timberlake. Album did nearly 1 million first week. "Suit & Tie" was huge and "Mirrors" was bigger. As weak as it is, there was Jay's "Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake and he was also involved in Beyonce's self titled album. Miley Cyrus was all gimmicks.

In 96 Morrisette was the biggest thing on earth

Yeah lol. That album sold over 30 million WW, and is 2X diamond here and I think Canada.

01 is fair, but you gotta understand that it's not just record sales, it's also impact on pop culture. J Lo was everywhere man

1996. No. Alanis clears anyone that year

07: Ye I'll definitely agree with but still, no.

13: I definitely agree here.

 

[Tasha And]

J Lo was everywhere man

Her ass was literally getting SNL, South Park, MTV, comic special shoutouts and parodies.

 

[Budda]

GNX is overrated

 

[bigde09]

nikkas celebrating pop star awards now


And Drake won the “hip-hop” award???

nikkas should be ashamed

Cole being a p*ssy really fukked you up

 

[bigde09]
