Duh Hot and Cold and Dark Horse.
Beyonce's impact is just too self-contained. People respect Beyonce, but she doesn't really shape the industry with her every action in the same way these other girls do. Beyonce does something, everyone says "Wow...Beyonce did that." Then they move on.
She's the next Tina Turner. Not the next Queen.

this song is so fucking good
Dark horse?
No Teenage Dream?
Teenage Dream is on the tier after those 2 with I Kissed a Girl and Waking Up in Vegas

what are they?
Can you explain how Katy and Rihanna 'shape the industry with every action' a little more

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
[Pre-Chorus]
You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
Rihanna: Fashion. Her Good Girl Gone Bad era is the sole reason you see avant garde looks among Urban/Pop females. Also, We Found Love...end of discussion.
Katy Perry: Made bubblegum pop popular again.
Beyonce:....uhhh, I guess her impact could be felt with Azealia Banks' surprise album release...
Well that was a weak response as I expected.
Anyway, I think the answer is that there doesn't need to be a 'Queen Of Pop' right now. Or anytime soon. Madonna rightfully is the only one to truly own that crown - to slay the charts, actually make an impact on pop culture and the way pop music is made, have stellar performances (Rihanna and Katy? lol), and is a touring force (Rihanna and Katy? lol again). The gays are so desperate for someone to claw this title from Madonna, but the truth is none of the pop girls are really living up to the title yet. It could still be Madonna's crown long after she is dead too. The 'Queen Of Pop' shouldn't have to be a title that is argued about.

Collaborating with someone you had "beef" with in the past is considered a risk, and we all know Taylor is not a risky artist. 2nd, the only collab she has done with a rap artist was B.O.B, and the song wasn't even featured on any of her albums, they're the exact opposites of each other music wise. The day we have a Taylor swift ft Kanye song is the day that Lady Gaga's Do What U Want video actually releases.
Kiiiiiiii - a weak response, but YOU couldn't even list Beyonce as a potential queen in your follow-up response.

oh, i see. I thought it had something to do with her being racist lmao
? She checks more boxes than Rihanna and Katy, that's for sure; as I mentioned neither of those girls know how to perform nor are touring forces.
But touring is the ONLY thing Beyonce has right now, and you know it.
That's why I say she's the next Tina Turner: A legend who is more known for her performance and touring prowess than being a true chart-topper.
chart topping is just one aspect of being a pop star. one of the lesser aspects too, imo.
- Critical Acclaim (Madonna check, Beyoncé check)
- Consistent Hits (Madonna check, Rihanna check, Katy check)
- Album sales (Madonna check, Beyoncé check, Gaga check)
- Touring (Madonna check, Beyoncé check, Gaga check)
- Performance talent (Madonna check, Beyoncé check, Gaga check)
so I guess if releasing hits is the only aspect required to be 'Queen of Pop' to you, you should definitely consider Taylor because she is going to eclipse both Rihanna and Katy at this rate.

these royalan vs beyonce conversations always go in circles smh
Why do you keep short-selling Rihanna's touring capability? Granted, touring receipts are the aspect of Pop I keep the least track of, but didn't she sell out stadiums and arenas with her last tour?
EDIT: Also, if Rated R's critical acclaim wasn't enough to check that box for Rih, that plus Unapologetic should definitely do it.
Edited
Consistent hits? What song off her last album even charted in the hot 100?

Mariah's crown remains firmly planted tbh
This past weekend, Mumei and I watched the full Tokyo Dome concert (1996 Daydream Tour).
If you want to witness the effortless radiance of true professionalism, performance, and personality, I advise you do the same.
Your faves will never, and that's just how it is. Roy's right that Beyonce will never be a queen - she's as dull as Taylor, and every interview she's ever done has been a masochistic undertaking to sit through.
But even he cannot come for Mimi~
Oh, and #Beautiful to answer your question, I think.

If we're judging all pop starlets on the basis of their recent performance (especially ones who've been in the game for 20+ years), then I guess Gaga better freak the fuck out.
Oh, and #Beautiful to answer your question, I think.
#Beautiful reached 15
You're Mine reached 88 (debut) and also went to number one on the hot dance club songs chart.
all the while Madonna was nowhere to be seen.
And I would never try...
90s Primeriah is something I don't think the world will ever see again....
If Beyoncé is the standard (because you like to pretend her accomplishments don't exist), than anyone who does less than Beyoncé (Katy, Rihanna) shouldn't count.
Acclaim:
Decent efforts:
What accomplishments. Truly the #triumphant Queen of Pop. #get'em
and that was her WORST era eva. Imagine when she gets back on track.

NAWT you acting like BEYONCE isn't the ONLY Beyonce album that Rihanna hasn't scored higher than.
And all signs point to Rihanna going for MORE acclaim with her new album.
