Billboard’s Top Women Artists of the 21st Century chart reflects performance on weekly charts dated Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 28, 2024. (Titles released prior to mid-1999, including holiday fare, are excluded, although such entries contribute to the calculation of the recap.) The category ranks the best-performing solo women, all-women acts and groups with prominent women’s vocals in that span based on activity on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100.
