Jjang Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Odeon said: Mental gymnastics like "solo #1" are worthless, as, for example, Beyoncé's latest #1 solo, Break My Soul, is outstreamed everyday by Gaga's Always Remember Us This Way, a non-single that peaked at #41 Spotify 08/06 ARUTW — 597,536 Break My Soul — 351,550 It's also being outstreamed by Beyoncé's latest entry on an IFPI singles list, Lady Gaga's Telephone Spotify 08/06 Telephone — 356,080 Break My Soul — 351,550 they are worthless when they don’t play in your favor? Stupid Love - 69,925 album tracks: Heated - 303,895 Alien Superstar - 281,736 America Has A Problem - 242,719 no need for Bradley’s $120m marketing budget film only to crash the next era a year later cause lacking solo power is not an issue for Bey even much later into her career than Gaga who everyone seems to agree is ranked last Edited August 8, 2023 by Jjang 2 1 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istan4badgalriri Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Rihanna’s currently outstreaming all of them sans Taylor by a large margin even though she hasn’t released an album in nearly 8 years, any list that has her below #2 is invalid. Then if we take into account their achievements outside of music, the conversation becomes interesting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airplane Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) In music, Taylor is bigger than all of them. I would place Beyoncé at #2 simply because she’s a bigger touring force than Rihanna.. Outside of music and as an overall celebrity, Rihanna’s hold on the gp is unparalleled and she’s probably the biggest of them all (multiple multi-billion dollar brands, most viewed halftime in history, highly relevant with 8 years of no album etc etc) Edited August 8, 2023 by airplane 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 for music success Taylor: beatles- mj level. Her own league upon 2000s act so no competition ...................................................................... then rihanna - the best gp generic 10 years of career full of hits you can ask for adele gaga beyoncè. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannna Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Taylor is effortlessly eclipsing Madonna and is on her way to eclipsing MJ and The Beatles. adding her to this list is ridiculous. a telling metric of their success is their latest albums' opening week: 1. Taylor 1.5 million 2. Adele 839k 3. Beyoncé 332k 4. Lady Gaga 275k 5. Rihanna 126k quite accurate. all of them are pop Queens in their own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OreGuy Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 why are we excluding touring as part of being "big"? That could easily put Gaga above Rihanna and Adele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga’s not the huge touring force her stans make her out to be lol Definitely not big enough to place her above Rihanna or Adele (let alone easily), at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peroxide Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Jjang said: when was their last solo #1 though? Yes because Bradley Cooper was the real reason Shallow went number one... and we'll discount the fact Stupid Love debuted top 5 mere months before ROM dropped. Lady Gaga had back to back number ones for both 2019 and 2020 and both songs were on HER albums. These 'bUt iT wAsn'T sOlo" comments are tired and nonsensical. Anyways... 1. Taylor 2. Beyonce 3. Rihanna 4. Gaga 5. Adele Adele is such an anomaly in this case... she undoubtedly has the biggest era here but she's a bit of a one trick pony. The others are a lot more versatile and have a lot more cultural capital. Edited August 8, 2023 by Peroxide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
