base talk Which MPG won over audiences in 2013 of these choices?

[Josh]

 

I'm aware that Red came out in 2012 but the era continued in 2013

[FolkLover1989]

Red obviously 

Prism had 2 massive hits I would give Katy that 

[SmittenCake]

there was no point at all in including ARTPOP

 

 

 

[nostalgic]

Red, obviously. Bey was already a huge star but Red cemented Taylor's foray into mainstream pop and away from country. 

[Rino]

self titled was THE event of the year. other major contenders would be Lorde and Miley. 

[AaronJohnsonStan]

The ones that changed album releases from Monday/Tuesday to Friday 

[Kiss It Better]

BEYONCE:

- sold 617k in 3 days

- changed music forever with its iconic Friday release changing music release day to Friday

- "rewrote the business model of music industry" -BBC with no radio promotion, no single prior to the album

- popularized surprise release

just to name a few

 

 

also, if you're going to include Red which had only 1 additional top 20 song in 2013, you should include Unapologetic which had a top 3 and another top 20 song in 2013

I think if we speak about audience choice. It's obviously Red, Prism is second. Artpop was for the fans. 

[Gladiator]

self titled is the obvious answer

[EmailMySwift]

Where's Glory? Wasn't that also 2013? 

 

First Red, then ST. 

[AndThenTheCocaine]

Where's Pure Heroine?

[HardBambi]

As Cher would say, not Gaga! 😅

OP always has to reference gaga negatively somehow

 

[Letemtalk]

The one that had a nine week #1 and ended 2013 with four Grammy nominations.

Before you say "Lorde wasn't a main pop girl" you already made an exception to the rules to put a 2012 album in the list.

[GraceRandolph]

Why did you leave out Britney Jean?

 

[Odette Violet]

Self titled. 

[Kodak Energy]

I think ST was the biggest era in 2013.
 

Most of Red happened in 2012, it only really had 22 smash in 2013. 

[KillingYourCareer]

From a GLOBAL point of view, Prism.

[Gui Blackout]

Red, bigger and betrer

[thismoment]

The album that had two diamond certified songs

Prism  - 13M CSPC

ST - 9M CSPC

Artpop 4.8M CSPC

 

Red is bigger than all though, however it is a 2012 album.
