Maybe so. I don't know how it is in other countries.

But most artists are only known for a few hits anyway. The general public probably can't name every hit song in an artist's discography. Michael is one of the few artists who might have that power.

No way. Michael probably has like 4-5 songs on the general publics radar

No. Those talent shows overseas get A LOT of viewers! & whose songs do you think are covered the most? NOT Madge's!

Right. I don't know why people think Madonna has a gazillion songs that is known by the public. She has about 5 or 6 that are probably instantly recognizable.

!!!

I don't know why ATRL has this notion that a shitload of her songs are still popular or remembered today.

Mariah was mostly urban and everyone knows Europe isn't much into that and she still managed to crossover and sell gazillions of albums everywhere.

Before Gaga, Mariah was the Queen of Asia, I think she still has the record for the biggest attendance in Japan's biggest arena

Mariah is still the Queen of Japan.

She has the most successful album by a non-Asian, among other records.

********. Before he died, he was a laughing stock, but his songs were instantly recognizable. Just look at the iTunes effect after his death. That was power. Let's not get carried away here.

Besides the little thing Britney/Christina did at the guess what... VMAs (catering to pop) no she has not. No one else respects that broad and her stunts, what songs would they sing at her tribute? Justify My Love? Erotica?

Tina
Aretha
Barbra
Janet
Michael
Prince
Patti
Mary
Anita
Whitney
Even Mariah has a damn tribute special.

Madooma can.

Wow. So why does ATRL worship her so much?

Okay, maybe I was overexaggerating, but outside of Thriller and some Bad singles, most of his singles were forgotten.

ATRL is a mess with overrating Madonna, people know HER, not her MUSIC.

A few months ago Sahn sent me the essential Madonna tracks and I have had her on nonstop every since then. Anyone who knows me can tell you I hated Madonna and thought her music was empty and boring like The Beatles' still is to me. Anyway, I now find myself ***** popping to some of her better songs, cause I still haven't heard all of them. I just need to tell teh other queens that still don't use Madonna that you need these tracks in your life if no others.

They will say Billie Jean, they will say Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, the way u make me feel, remember the time, wanna be startin somethin, man in the mirror, bad some may even know Girl is mine, and Earth song. I won't expect every1 to know Off the wall, jam, liberian girl etc

She's an R&B artist, what do you expect?

People in Europe (for the most part) only like generic dance crap (not calling Madonna's songs that) and ballads, not hip-hop/R&B.

In Asia, Mariah is VERY well-known.

In Europe, people know her ballads mostly.

I know, I didn't expect more than that.

I'm not shading Mariah though, I like her.







Why wouldn't I?

Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru and Namie Amuro say hello. The thing about the best selling non-Asian is true however.

It's not just about the music. There's something very forceful about Madonna herself that keeps her alive. So, even though her music has been largely irrelevant in the US (Music was really her last hit here), she's hard to forget. That's why Glee did a whole episode on her.
