Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast: Miley Cyrus (No. 15) & Justin Timberlake (No. 14)


This week's episode of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century podcast looks at our No. 15 & 14 pop stars, Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake.

First, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard Social Media Manager Danielle Pascual and Billboard Pride Editor Stephen Daw to talk about Miley Cyrus’ one-of-a-kind career path from Hannah Montana to “Flowers.” We discuss why the Billboard staff (and its Zillennials in particular) seems to have a particular rooting interest in Cyrus’ career, revisit the highs and lows of the unforgettable Bangerz era, and defend some personal favorites from her long journey back to the top of the charts. Then, we welcome back a pair of returning GPS podcast guests in Billboard Executive Director of Music Jason Lipshutz and R&B/Hip-Hop Chart Manager Trevor Anderson to talk about the two uneven halves of Justin Timberlake’s 21st century-spanning career: 15 years of near-uninterrupted ascendance, followed by a last decade that’s seen him take a bit of a tumble. 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!
