In 2015, Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian published an article calling Cyrus the Madonna of her generation, saying that "she's a Disney survivor with a fluid approach to gender identity. And, like the old three-chord punks, she gives really good quote". According to Nicholson, Cyrus takes "the 90s Madonna approach to public sexuality: it's deliberately provocative, and crucially, it is not being served up for male consumption." Likewise, she defends Cyrus's controversial rebellion, highlighting that behind the character there is a human, talented and strong person who manages to connect with the public, just like the "Queen of Pop". In November of the same year, Vulture ranked Cyrus number one on its "Disney and Nickelodeon Stars Gone Pop" listicle, writing that "no post-millennium child star [had] grown up as wildly, rapidly, or successfully as [Cyrus]" at the time.{{Cite web |last=Hampp |first=Andrew |date=November 11, 2015 |title=Disney and Nickelodeon Stars Gone Pop: A Power Ranking |url=https://www.vulture.com/2015/11/disney-and-nickelodeon-pop-stars-power-rankings.html |url-access=limited |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240421090053/https://www.vulture.com/2015/11/disney-and-nickelodeon-pop-stars-power-rankings.html |archive-date=April 21, 2024 |access-date=November 5, 2024 |website=Vulture}} Appearing at number eight on the 2021 revision of the ranking, the publication named her as one of the few child stars with a successful music career as an adult, calling her "the archetype for Disney 2.0 stars" who "picked up the child-star trap of getting pigeonholed and set it on fire".{{Cite web |last1=Crucchiola |first1=Jordan |last2=Haylock |first2=Zoe |last3=Polk |first3=Milan |date=January 25, 2021 |title=Disney and Nickelodeon Stars Gone Pop: A Ranking |url=https://www.vulture.com/2021/01/disney-and-nick-stars-gone-pop-an-updated-power-ranking.html |access-date=November 5, 2024 |website=Vulture}} Billboard cataloged the singer as one of the "Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Artists", occupying position thirty-one; she was on the ninth rank among female artists.{{Cite magazine |date=November 12, 2015 |title=Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Artists |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-billboard-200-artists/ |access-date=February 14, 2022 |magazine=Billboard}} In 2017, the aforementioned magazine also published an article naming the singer a "Queer Superhero" for her philanthropic fight for the LGBTQ+ community.{{Cite magazine|last1=Porter|first1=Zachariah|date=February 26, 2019|title=Miley Cyrus Is a Queer Superhero: 8 Times She Showed Love to the LGBTQ Community|url=https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/miley-cyrus-queer-lgbtq-drag-race-7933969/|access-date=February 14, 2022|magazine=Billboard}} In 2019, Billboard ranked her 62nd on its "Greatest of All Time Artists" chart,{{cite magazine |title=Greatest of All Time Artists |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-of-all-time-artists |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191114170915/https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-of-all-time-artists |archive-date=November 14, 2019 |access-date=April 19, 2024 |magazine=Billboard}} and 55th on the 2010s decade-end chart of Top Artists, signifying the most successful acts of the decade.{{Cite magazine |last=Trust |first=Gary |date=November 14, 2019 |title=The Decade in Charts: Mark & Bruno's 'Uptown Funk!'
