Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast: Ariana Grande (No. 9)
Our new Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast episode is on Ariana Grande, who defined pop stardom in the streaming age.
Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staff writers Kyle Denis and Hannah Dailey to talk about how, despite not making her proper debut until 2013 — later than any other artist in our top 10 — Ariana still shines as one of the brightest stars of the entire century so far. We then make the cases for her two 2020s albums, dive into the complicated and often contentious relationship she has with her fanbase, and defend “Donutgate” as Ariana once again simply being ahead of her time. Listen to our latest below, catch up on our past episodes here, and be sure to subscribe to Billboard ‘s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century series wherever you get your podcasts!
