Tate McRae Is No. 7 on Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of 2025

While 2025 pop was mostly led by established A-listers with already-minted legacies, one still-rising star danced her way into their ranks, building her own legacy in real time.

For this year’s update of our ongoing Greatest Pop Star by Year project, Billboard will be counting down our editorial staff picks for the 10 Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 all the next two weeks. Last week, we revealed our Honorable Mentions artists for 2025 as well as our Rookie of the Year and Comeback of the Year artists. Now, we reach No. 7 on our list with an artist who earned her way to pop superstardom the old-fashioned way, with big singles, bigger videos and electrifying live performances: Tate McRae.

Listen to our Greatest Pop Stars podcast discussion about Tate McRae’s breakout year here.
