Who is the most influential pop artist of the 21st century?

I would go with Beyoncé. Among others she has unparalleled success. She boasts of 21 Grammy awards and over 100 million records sold worldwide.
She has also inspired and influenced many artists like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.

Do you agree that Beyoncé is the most influential in this century?

For me, it's Britney Spears who is the most influential pop singer of this century for reasons that go beyond the number of awards that she won and the number of records that she sold. She's practically a pop culture icon to the point that she still makes enough money just from her royalties (especially now that the conservatorship is gone) even though she hasn't released new music lately.
