This is like saying Scott Joplin is the greatest artist of the 20th century. Maybe in 1920.

I believe MJ was crowned best musical artist of the millenium in 2001 in a very cerius ceremony

Yeah, but since all of the great and iconic musical acts of the 20th century were established by 1924, they just figured it would be the same again.

Hoagy Carmichael was the greatest pop star of the 20th century.

They could have waited until end of 2025, named a quarter finalist for this first quarter century and again every 25 years. Then do the championship round at the end of 2099.

I think the question you’re asking is why did it take so long to decide this?

Is there really? We might as well declare who the "winners of music" are while we can still record the results. Perhaps a future alien race will unearth the information and ask themselves "What's a "BEYONKY", and why did it win at "Pop" right before the world burned?"

Pfft. Musta been a slow century.

This just goes to show how self-centered our current society is. They can't even imagine that something could possibly be better within the next 76 years
