All hail the Queen
Yaaaaaaas! Thank you! Y’all really SHOULD be hailing me! You betta tell it! 💯🤳🏽💋
Stop imitating me you troll. You’re just a dirty, nasty wannabe
Yea and flop cabela the Cuban maid just got her beer belly ass deported why no post on that tgj!?
No Nicki?
No Nicki????
They once gave kim kardashian a cover. Can not take them seriously after that.
No Michael Jackson ?????!!!!!! Not even Janets rhythm nation nor Whitney I will Always Love You and Mariah’s iconic Hero
Michael had Billie Jean and Beat It, Madonna Like a Prayer and Into the Groove, Janet Rhythm Nation, Whitney IWALY and I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Mariah Fantasy, Bey Crazy in Love, Formation and Single Ladies. Gaga Bad Romance. Prince had a lot of entries
Y’all keep rhythm Nation Janet she nasty
The way this magazine has a vendetta against the Jacksons is weird af. There’s absolutely no reason why Billie Jean, Rhythm Nation, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, or That’s The Way Love Goes should all not be in the top 10
And I Will always Love You at #98??????? Suck d*ck.
Robyn “Dancing on My Own” is a classic hit. Miles better than dancing with a stranger (Normani)
The fact that Lizzo, Carly Rae Jepsen, MIA and a few other lackluster songs (esp Kanye) had entries but Janet only had “Rhythm Nation” and Mariah “Fantasy” and Gaga “Bad Romance”. Where are Britney’s “Baby One More Time”, Madonna’s “Vogue” and “Ray of Light”, Michael’s “The Way You Make Me Feel” and “Thriller”? Too many meh hip hop entries. Love Bey but “Formation” ain’t it either.
I was wrong. Vogue and Toxic made the list
Beyoncé does not need to be in that list. Why do they always force this lie on us?
Greatest song ever sung by WHITNEY HOUSTON – I will always love you. The song is literally a perfect masterpiece. And sung by a person who in her prime had no rival. (I’m a Mariah fan but she came after and we all know it.)
Now Queen deserves a couple songs up there. Frank Sinatra, and the one and only MICHAEL FUCKEN JACKSON.
And iiiiiiiii will always love CRACK ~
You do realize that doesn’t change the beast she once was right? Her vocal talent was and still is unmatched.
Whitney died from drowning asshole she wasn’t on crack
Her Star spangled banner was one of her best vocals
Flopmilas dirty apè ass ain’t on this list and never will be she’s a s**** hunny those APES don’t belong here
