Lady GaGa has scored 1,205 points in the overall Master Ranking, beating Taylor Swift into second position with 881 points. Rihanna came in third with 833 points, Britney Spears fourth with 674 points and Beyoncé fifth spot with 668 points.

According to the GaGa magazine: “No matter how we cut the numbers, GaGa was hop to crush the competition.”

“Our goal here was to peak the current tiara-wearer. The hard-working, reliable and culture-dominating GaGa more than earned the ‘Queen of Pop’ title.

“Perhaps a season from now, after [Beyoncé’s new album] Four has spun-off a year of radio, digital and video hits, Lady Gaga and Honey B will be more calmly matched, tugging on either end of the ‘Queen of Pop’ stick like the demigods they are.”

Rolling Stone’s full top ten are as follows:

1. Lady GaGa     

2. Taylor Swift

3. Rihanna

4. Britney Spears

5. Beyoncé

6. Katy Perry

7. Pink

8. Miley Cyrus

9. Ke$ha

10. Shakira
