The bigger star in 2019 won 

Nothing but respect for MY princess of pop

If only the thank u, next era didn't end the moment the album came out  

Looks like Ari's peak is ova. Congrats Billie the new main pop girl 

Glad she gets to have this title for a week or so until Lover outsells

 

2019 being dominated by women, whew

Wow, that was fast.  

 

Ariana isn't really as big as everyone thought she was in Q1

WWAFAWDWG should also pass TU,N in album Spotify streams in about 2 days.

Yes she was, she was huge 

 

The album was huge and still has the biggest debut for a pop album ever on streaming. It's just that she's focusing on her tour rather than any more singles from the album. 

What about WorldWide?

It's AOTY so

WW must have happened a while ago since Billie has bigger pure sales and they are pretty much even in Spotify streams

BTS having the biggest album?!
mess

Ari should have really pushed Bloodline as the summer single. Would have been an easy top 10 hit for her with a sexy MV

Do you guys know how impressive this is though? The girl is for all intents and purposes a new artist. She cultivated a real following by being the ENTIRE package from her voice, to her subject matter, melody, production, videos, and entire look + welcoming personality. Look no further than her epic performances at the likes of Glastonbury or Reading to get her appeal and showmanship. I've yet to really get into her music but she's giving people quality content - and with When We Fall Asleep, it's deservedly paying off. Billie is not your typical pop artist...she's a rockstar.

Shoutout to Ari tho. She had this year in her hands 

Ariana and Billie and now Taylor smashing whew, we love to see women winning

she's really personable, funny, and down to earth, which I wasn't expecting from a teenager.
