Feanor Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Taylor Swift is the biggest one of them all, and the mania around d her for this past 2 years have solidified it. Then it's Beyoncé (with DC) >> Rihanna >> Adele = Beyoncé solo career >> Lady Gaga. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. erm, yes? you’d be crazy to deny that the film association (which Bradley wrote and directed) and the exceptional $120m marketing budget didn’t aid the song’s commercial performance. SL debuted at #5 and then immediately left the charts. Nicki vibes. There’s a reason why ARTPOP, Joanne and Chromatica performed as poorly as they did. Adele had three humongous eras and one that smashed and then relatively faded quickly. Edited August 8, 2023 by Jjang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowGinFizzzz Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Define "biggest". Chart positions? Streaming numbers? Record sales? Cultural impact? Longevity? As long as we don't specify what exactly our rankings should be based on, they'll always be somewhat subjective. Taking all these factors into consideration, personally I'd rank them like this: Beyoncé Gaga Adele Taylor Rihanna* Spoiler *) Only because she pretty much quit music, obviously.

dumbsparce Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Gaga does not deserve this setup. She gave us a lot of bops so I'm not sure why you want to punch her down as if she's a threat to anyone anymore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it interesting that Gaga's most vocal detractors want so desperately to downplay her success in every venture that involves some kind of collab. Like, she had nothing to do with it. If you think ARTPOP, Joanne and Chromatica are such embarrassing failures then why even include Gaga in this line-up? Unless you just wanted to drag her name through the mud and berate anyone that didn't put her dead last... So transparent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m allowed to think Gaga finishes last in this list lol I’m definitely transparent about that. Sorry that irks you 30 is considered a flop by Adele standards and it’s bigger than those three albums combined. gives you perspective!

Then if we take into account their achievements outside of music, the conversation becomes interesting. Yeah, no one is talking about achievements outside of music. These ladies didn't have to resort other ventures to make money, since their music careers were profitable enough. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyoncé imagine being this delusional anyways Taylor and Beyoncé are on top, Gaga’s obviously last and the other two are pretty much interchangeable ig (Rih has more longevity than Adele tho by doing even LESS than her ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 15 minutes ago, Taylucifer said: genuinely curious if y’all really think Rihanna could surpass Taylor if Rihanna released as much as her It’s unlikely since the average Taylor album has sold more EAS units than the average Rihanna album despite Rihanna album having more time to garner units (meaning, the gap will only continue to increase). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chartman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Taylor (160M AEU and soon 2,5B $ from touring) Beyonce (95M AEU, soon 1,5B $ from touring+DC career) Adele (105M AEU, 250M $ from touring+Las Vegas gross) Lady Gaga (80M AEU, 600M $ from touring) Rihanna (110M AEU, 300M $ from touring) It depends on what you want to value more, sales or touring. All are legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh… that might’ve made sense if Gaga hadn’t launched a makeup brand and Beyoncé a clothing brand. They weren’t very successful, but they did happen. And OP should’ve specified that this strictly about music, because in Rihanna’s case her influence in fashion and the massive success and impact of her brands have contributed to her popularity and how big of a star she is today (arguably the biggest of her peers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, transparent. and again - I’m open about my dislike for her so what’s the catch? I think she’s incredibly overrated. I also think Taylor is overrated as well and I’ve been taunting her fan base for a while now but they don’t get as pressed as the liddos (ik you’re a hybrid) Anyway, me disliking Gaga makes her bigger than Adele?
