Billboard has named Beyonce the most defining artist of the last five years due in part to her Super Bowl performance, mini-Destiny’s Child reunion in 2013, co-headlining ‘On The Run’ tour with rapper husband Jay Z and the surprise release of her self-titled 2013 album, deemed an “instant-classic.”
Billboard conclude, “Nobody’s perfect, but Beyonce is just about as flawless as they come – and in the 2010s, the rest of the music world was simply trying (and failing) to keep up with her.”
