Today on the Greatest Pop Stars Podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by the Billboard R&B Hip-Hop team's Carl Lamarre and Michael Saponara to remember the brilliant career of our No. 4 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, Drake. We try to explain why even though Drake doesn't fit the most classic pop star profile, he was still able to achieve the numbers, the impact and the overall greatness to make him one of the century's most important mainstream artists -- and we recount what made his recent L so shocking, and how he might still bounce back from it.

No. 5: Lady Gaga
Today on the Greatest Pop Stars Podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard Pride editor Stephen Daw and executive digital director Katie Atkinson to remember the brilliant career of our No. 5 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, Lady Gaga. We try to capture what made Gaga's turn-of-the-'10s peak so shocking, so singular and so important, and remember the winding and occasionally rocky road Mother Monster took from there to where she is today, as one of the still-vital hitmakers and marquee touring artists of all 21st-century pop.

No. 6: Britney Spears
Today on the Greatest Pop Stars Podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard executive digital director Joe Lynch and senior charts/data analyst Eric Frankenberg to talk about our No. 6 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st century, Britney Spears. We talk about Britney's incomparably iconic 2000s run and the classic albums, singles, videos, performances and cultural moments that cemented her legacy -- as well as the triumphs and tragedies of her last 20 years in the limelight, and the few timing factors largely holding her back from making the list's top five.

No. 7: Kanye West
Today on the Greatest Pop Stars Podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B's Angel Diaz and Michael Saponara to talk about our No. 7 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, Kanye West. We talk about how Kanye became both one of the greatest artists of his generation and one of the most all-consuming stars and celebrities -- and then, how over the past decade, he both retreated from pop stardom and did serious damage to his own legacy with some of his comments and actions.

No. 8: Justin Bieber
Today on the Greatest Pop Stars Podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard's Josh Glicksman and Kristen Wisneski to talk about our No. 8 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, Justin Bieber. We talk about what makes The Bieb the highest-ranked traditional male pop artist on our list, and why his rise to ubiquity was still very representative of (and impactful on) the 21st century -- while also sharing some personal memories of peak Bieber Fever and attempting to defend some of his less successful periods.
