Billboard has been counting down the 25 biggest stars of the century for several months.

Here is what they have so far.

4. Drake
5. Lady Gaga
6. Britney Spears
7. Kanye West
8. Justin Bieber
9. Ariana Grande
10. Adele
11. Usher
12. Eminem
13. Nicki Minaj
14. Justin Timberlake
15. Miley Cyrus
16. Jay-Z
17. Shakira
18. The Weeknd
19. BTS
20. Bruno Mars
21. Lil Wayne
22. One Direction
23. Bad Bunny
24. Ed Sheeran
25. Katy Perry

Rihanna, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift will make up the top three in an order to be determined.

You could make a pretty good argument that, at least based on sales, Drake should have been number two after Taylor.
