2. Beyoncé Knowles
Although she’s also the queen of R&B, there’s no denying that Beyoncé reigns on the pop charts. Her superstar quality was clear ever since she was in Destiny’s Child. After launching her solo career, Beyoncé went on to win a total of 28 Grammys — her first one was at just 19 years old. Today, she’s still setting the trends, going out of her comfort zone, and developing new sounds.
