So you actually agree with this list?

It isn't as big a deal as many comments in this topic may imply but we're just haters for daring to call out obvious BS?

Isn't that what always happens with lists like this? Nobody ever agrees with them! Sometimes I think they're created with that very purpose in mind: to give folks something to argue about.

Y'all do realize this list comes from iHeartRadio right? It's practically fake lol.

This sound like one of these dumb-ass Rolling Stones Magazine polls. Folks who don't have a clue and have only listened to the tope 10 of the past decade all of their lives. Please....

I think HAPPYPERSON is a plant who works for a PR firm. They are always posting these Beyonce propaganda articles on prince.org and on other sites. I know its HAPPYPERSON because they post the same exact Beyonce articles on every gossip/music site.They posts these articles but never respond in the threads or participate in the discussions.

The marketing machine in full swing.

What?! No Yoko Ono!?! Blasphemy!!

Right? that's why is a shitty list.

No Joplin, no Stevie Nicks, no Heart, no Diana Ross, no Donna Summer (!!), no Gladys Knight, no Carole King, no Joni Mitchell, no Joan Baez, no Bonnie Raitt, no Emmylou Harris, no Loretta Lynn, no Etta James, no Nina Simone....this is one SUCK-ASS list !!!

Someone under 30 must have done this list LOL, bc there is no way Bey or Taylor would top Aretha, Ella or Madonna. I would say for some millenials/younger folks, Beyonce could be the most influential to them personally; however for all time? NO WAY!! Just proves how these lists are always subjective and I think are done for debate/arguments sake.

The only way this goddamn forum would be happy about some list of female pop recording stars
was if Janet Jackson was number one, Madonna number two, Prince number three, and poor Be-
yonce was hung, drawn, and quartered.

I saw Lemondade for the first time last weekend: the visuals made no sense and I didn't like the
music but I will defend her 'til the end for if the baddest bitch in the game can get cheated on yet
have the wherewithal to reframe heartache into art, empower herself via vulnerability and make
the culpable party participate in that redemption publicly, then more power to her. Beyonce
fatigue is warranted but the hate towards her that endures in this forum from old heads is ridiculous,
especially since none of y'all ever seem to realize that these lists aren't the product of some sturdy
methodology anyways!

I never see any Joni Mitchell threads; no Aretha Franklin threads; no St. Vincent threads, no Kelela
threads; no Solange threads; no Carole King threads; no Diane Warren threads; no Blondie threads;
no Esperanza Spaulding threads; no Wendy & Lisa threads, so like I said: there's nothing but hate
going on up in hurr . . .

Anyone else get annoyed by the fact that you're not allowed to have a different opinion to someone else these days, and if you are you're a "hater", whatever the hell one of those is.

The twenty-first century really needs to stop being so precious about stuff and offended every five minutes ...

Are you out of your mind? Did you read the first handful of comments and not think they were
disparaging?

Get a clue, Dave.

Lol....Haters? Songs like "Put a Ring on it" took 2 mintues 2 write and 5 minutes 2 produce.

She openely brags that it takes 2 weeks 2 do an entire album. One listen....and u can tell it probably took a week to 7 days 2 records those songs 4 simpletons.

Beyonce might be running on fumes and probably needs to fall back for several years ...having a family now, its natural that she focus more on them babies and husband, and less on music..."Lemonade" may be the most overrated over hyped album by a female artist ever...that lp has zero replay value and not one great song...and i LOVE Beyonce...when "Love On Top" was out, you couldnt say anything bad about B around Me...but i agree with you now, and she should be nowhere on this list...especially when the women who created her whole style and gave her a path to follow (Diana Ross & Tina Turner) are not on it...

Yep.

Yep.

Beyonce followed Donna Summer ...who kicked the door down for women (and all artists) to build career's on dance music. Summer was pop music's first female mega star selliing millions of records world wide and crossing into multiple genres. She was the first female to dominate the billboard charts. The first of the modern era to have #1 single and #1 album simultaneoulsy. The first to have 3 #1 singles, and 5 top 10's or 5 top 5's in a calendar year (1979). The first to have 2 songs in the top 3, (twice in 4 months). Billboard's top Hot 100 artist from 1976-82 (with 12 top 10's, 10 to 5s) pre-mtv era. Beyonce is compariable with Turner and Summer...not Ross. As far as the list, someone's opinon who is not very well informed....if any woman changed the face of pop music, Donna Summer sure did...

Beyonce was not named the most influential woman in music by this author.

The title of her article was 12 Influential Women Who Have Changed Music & How They Did It

In it she writes, "There have been many women who have been leaders in the music industry, and who have stepped up in more ways than one -- to many to count. But take a look at just a small handful of powerful females who have changed music, and just how they did it below."

She also writes that, "The spotlight and fight for gender equality in many aspects of this world is at a much-needed, long overdue, all-time high. Over the last year, the conversation about this issue across a multitude of industries, as well as strong women coming together and supporting each other and fighting for change, has grown tremendously"
