Taylor Swift Tops Miley and Justin on Billboard’s ’21 Under 21′ List (PHOTOS)
Sep 26, 2010 at 7:00am
Taylor Swift has just added another feather in her cap.
The 20-year-old Fearless singer has snagged the top position on Billboard magazine’s “21 Under 21″ list for 2010. Those on the list were “selected not only for their tender age but also for their potential to rule the pop culture zeitgeist over the next 12 months.”
Swift beat out some formidable competition to achieve the honor, including Miley Cyrus (who came in at Number 10), Nick Jonas (at Number 6), Justin Bieber (who came in just behind Swift ) and iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove (who landed the #14 slot).

why is miley no 10? I mean I hate her but still she’s more succesful than that Demi or greyson or willow she should be no#4 behind selena!
ANd i reapeat I HATE HER but stil…
baaah she looks like an ugly and fat tranny…
That’s not a nice thing to say about your mom :)
are you serious like she is not ugly or fat i never liked her i dont love her but thats mean she is not fat!!!!!!!!!
Well Charice you’re not half as succesful as Miley…She should really be #4!
AND again I hate Miley but that’s just wrong!
Looooooooooooooooover her!
She’s gorgeous and SO talented!
Better than Taylor Swift and that Bieber!
she should be no1
YAY CANADIAN!!! WOO WOOO
I agree that she’s awesome…..but BIEBER is much way better than him!!!!
yay!!
Never heard…
Blah…Nothing special.
Oh God…Another Justin Bieber?
America is doomed.
Who’s she? And I think I’ve seen that dress somewhere before..And it was definitely not on her…
Never heard…
Never heard…
Never heard…

They faded away already…Disney careers don’t last long.
Here’s my beloved Taylor…

Yeah I agree…I hate her too,but it’s a fact that she’s very successful…(teens don’t have brain cells).
Yep…That’s him..or her.
The PussyFication of American society.
I don’t get what’s the whole fuss about this kid….I bet every fourth child in America can play the piano and sing (if not better) like that…Well,at least his hair is shorter so he doesn’t look that gay…
I like Demi.
She can sing very well.
I’m sick of this kid…Just because you’re daddy is Will Smith,doesn’t make you the superstar.
And nobody gives a damn about your hair. You’re not Rihanna.
Who the hell is Charice? And why is she #4?
OK I agree with Hayley…Her songs are always the same,she sings about teen love blah blah,lyrics sometimes look like they are written by a 10 year old girl,she isn’t a country star,she’s more a pop star (pop stations play her songs),her vocals are weak as always,that’s why she can’t sing live etc.
But,you gotta give her some credit for at least writing her songs (poorly). And she sings live with-out lip-syncing..Sure she does sound horrible,but at least she isn’t cheating her fans by lip-syncing,like other pop-stars do.
She looked gorgeous on 2010 VMA-s.
But,her music sucks.
Acting isn’t all that bad,but I haven’t really seen her anywhere else expect Disney.

Taylor is a female-she,and ”much way better” makes no sense.
annabannana56: I hear ya…..she really isn’t anything special other than being Will Smith’s and Jada Pinket-Smith’s daughter. She is nine years old…how can you take that serious???? Another example of pushing your kids in the limelight, just like their son. Please refrain to showing your kids pic instead pushing them into so-called fame. Give them a chance to grow up as normal children.
Who the heck is she, and what is she supposed to bge famous for??
You go girl… I am happy for you. You have talent and are no media whore like Mylie and the likes.

agree. don’t like her music, but wizards of waverly place is tolerable compared to miley cyrus’s ‘acting’ in hannah montana. not that i watch disney channel…… :P
Well, she have David Foster and Oprah Winfrey in her back, tagged as the most talented kid in the world in one of Oprah’s episode.
She’s Asian so many Asians supports her.
And yeah Miley is more famous than her, but the criteria is “selected not only for their tender age but also for their potential to rule the pop culture zeitgeist over the next 12 months” and we know miley’s fame is slowly fading.
And oh, Charice has a recurring role in Glee so yeah.
