Beyonc&eacute; started her journey as a member of the American girl group Destiny&rsquo;s Child. She later paved her own way as a solo artist with timeless songs such as &ldquo;Halo,&rdquo; &ldquo;Single Ladies,&rdquo; &ldquo;Crazy In Love,&rdquo; and her recent chart-topper, &ldquo;Texas Hold &lsquo;Em.&rdquo;
Billboard&rsquo;s second greatest pop star, Taylor Swift, was also mentioned. While Swift&rsquo;s numbers were impressive, Billboard emphasized that Beyonc&eacute;&rsquo;s contribution to the music industry was more significant: &ldquo;Even Taylor Swift, the lone artist who really challenged Beyonc&eacute; for the top spot on these rankings, simply hasn&rsquo;t been around for long enough to be able to match the expansiveness of her quarter-century of dominance.&rdquo;
