base talk Did you expect Nicki to outlast Katy and Gaga in the US?

[MingYouToo]

Just to preface, I know Katy and Gaga still have strong careers but Nicki is literally on a massive chart run right now solo its insane! Remember this is a US specific thread.

 

Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj are like a few of the biggest popstars of the late 2000s early 2010s in the US to still have a presence up to the mid 2010s, while Nicki remained a Top 10 chart force for most of those years, Katy and Gaga ruled with an iron fist. 

 

However, nearly 15 years later, Katy Perry's career is nonexistent in the mainstream, Lady Gaga is no longer the pop supreme on the US charts she once was (while she has RoM and Shallow, Gaga has never had a solo breakout smash the way Applause and BTW were), and yet Nicki Minaj, for all of the flopping during the late 2010s, is coming back with a massive resurgence as a solo powerhouse with SFG!

 

Did any of yall expect for Nicki to outlast her pop peers (yes shes still a popstar). Given that she is a female and a rapper and how fickle the industry is to them (hardly any rappers survive for more than a decade), Nicki has an organic solo #1 in 2022! Are you surprised?

The only movie Nicki will ever star in is the Netflix crime documentary about the ring of criminals she surrounds herself with so I think Gaga’s doing fine. Can’t answer for Katy 

 

[Indigo Blue]

Gaga & Katy made a much bigger impact with hits that will stand the test of time.
 

Let’s also see where SFG is in a couple weeks. Could be front loaded & disappear off the charts.

Nicki needs more than one little hit after to have more longevity than Lady Gaga. If we’re considering #1 songs that will stay 4 weeks in the top 10, Gaga just had ROM 2 years ago.

Can Nicki and Katy do Chromatica Ball numbers?

 

[anklebiterrs]

Literally no one other than ATRL delusionals will tell you that Nicki is a bigger act than Gaga

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Nicki Minaj getting a #1 song in 2022 just shows how meaningless Billboard’s chart has become. This does not prove that she is bigger than anyone 

[Zaram]

What kind of thread is this sweetie

 

Just because she has a hit after 100 flops in a row, doesn't that make her bigger than Gaga.

[MotoPapi]

No

 

i thought gaga would be the one getting solo #1’s but she only gets them if she leeches on to younger more popular singers. Thank you Ariana.

the barbz are getting brave after nickis 1 hit after releasing a bunch of flops. let’s see single no. 2 

[Xder]

What a joke,

Nicki is girl from David Guetta and Ariana songs. She hasnt smash solo hits like even Applause 

[Serendipity]

Not outlast  Miss thing got a quick little number 1 after 100 flop singles - she's the joke of the industry.

[pxxxtrick]

Uhhh……

[sourtwink]

nicki absolutely did not outlast gaga 

[SwiftLover]

This true tea. ATRL cant stand it 

[State of Grace.]

[OreGuy]

dumbass thread

[Jjang]

Yes 

[krustysalt]

This is Nicki's first solo #1 in more than a decade after many failed attempts. Its longevity is not even guaranteed to call it a hit

[Brooke Candy]

Nicki made “getting a #1 “ meaningless

Good to note, will keep that in mind the next time any of ATRL's faves manage to do this again, ever, let alone 15 years into their career. 

[gettsleazy]

The idea that an artist collecting rapists and pedophiles like infinity stones and shilling 8 versions of her single for PENNIES is anywhere near Gaga is so laughable. Like I am actually laughing out loud right now! lol.
