If anything from recent times, it’s Justin Bieber or The Weeknd. Preferably the latter.

I've not heard one song of his. I guess in the latino parts of the world its true, but elsewhere? Not happening

Same. I know his name because of ATRL and social medias but I don’t think I’ve ever heard his music nor his name irl

Forbes is out of pocket for this one. There's just no comparison

MJ is always going to be the king of pop just like Madonna will always be the queen of pop.

The Weeknd is literally right there, like he even has controversy (a huge aspect of being the king and queen of pop).

First of all. The King of Latin Pop Is the Gay Icon Ricky Martin. He was the one makin the international crossover thing possible with Livin la Vida Loca :gaycat4: and he was so powerful

Second. Bad Bunny is a Reggaeton/Trap Singer mainly?  Pop hmm? Maybe some songs are pop influenced but thats it.  Bad Bunny is the Prince of reggaeton. The King is Daddy Yankee. 

Third One. This feels disrespectful to Michael Jackson :giraffe:  He's the eternal king of Pop. No one will match him.  All the new singers today feel too basic or like one level below compared to Michael artistry-talent.   No biebs. No timberlake. no bruno. no the weekend. im sorry dahlings.

Four one. Bad Bunny is actually not that big anymore here in Latinoamerica. The Throwin fans Cellphone situation. Dating Kendall Jenner (This One Specially destroyed him so much). His insensitive tone deaf comments about racism in that interview. His Jealousy-Shade to Colombian artists like Karol g and Shakira and Jbalvin. His recent attacks to his fans for that AI thing. How his career was backed with venezuelan dictatorship money. New strong artists like Peso Pluma or Bizarrap takin over. He doesnt feel as the large titanic figure of the early 2020s.  He digged his own grave with problematic behaviour. He was the largest star in the planet at one point :gaycat6: In one year he destroyed his reputation :gaycat4:

Latin male Taylor :clap3:

unfortunately Bieber was the closest to that “title” due to his numbers, and I really mean unfortunately.

His new album is already out of the top 10. It spent less weeks there than GUTS, which this forum screams left and right it’s a sophomore slump. It will overtake Bad Bunny next week 👀 

 

I wonder where are the bases threads coming for his underperformance…

1- He is not pop

 

2- Not even in Latin America

 

3- He doesn’t have any single track that is WW known or an instant classic. All his tracks are very in the moment, after a couple years he replaces them with something else.

 

And Im a casual listener, I like him, but these titles are ridiculous 

 

The only one that could fit in the category muabe is The Weeknd, but still a reach.

1. There is no new king of pop. Just stop trying to find a new king of pop. It's such a lazy headline

2. He's not famous anywhere outside of Latin America. I'm from Chile, he's huge here, but even if the title was up for grabs, it wouldn't go to someone who isn't known outside of a very small fraction of the music market

3. He doesn't even do actual pop music. Stop lumping in reggaetón and Latin trap with pop. Give Latin sounds the spot they deserve in the industry instead of just putting them in a completely unrelated box so you don't have to think about them

Tea sister. 
This is one of the reasons why i disagree with people who are like................Latin artists should only release spanish songs. Thats enough for them today
 :giraffe:
Is not. Cause Spanish music is mostly listened by our latino audiences.  To have a worldwide hit with stronger power u need english music. To be listened by all the audiences-ethnicities and have a higher chance of chartin higher.  In Northamerica-Europe-Asia.........

U can get big hits with spanish music but u dont get the same recognition or they dont get same chart traction

Someone as Karol G or Rosalia dont get the same recognition or love of someone like Olivia Rodrigo-Bilie-Dua Lipa-Doja Cat even if they have strong hits

Liked or Not English is the language of the planet and the major language of the United States Of America.
Shakira is the star she is..........cause she released all those english songs like Waka Waka-Hips-She Wolf-Whenever Wherever-Cant Remember-Beautiful Liar-Girl Like Me
Without those songs she would be like 20x times less famous

Im A Latino From Southamerica. So, according to people today i just have to speak in spanish and thats it. I dont want gatekeepers
No. Im here on ATRL speaking in english and traslating my ideas to a more global audience cause even if i love my culture deeply...i dont wanna stay in a bubble :gaycat4:I want the whole cake sugarcubes

Of course thats not easy. My first ATRL posts were scary to me :emofish im still scared sometimes of my awful grammar and messy writing lol


I feel bad for bad bunny but he will be dragged extra hard for this :gaycat4:
People hate when labels are disrespected.
If im not wrong Bieber was called King of Pop too in the past and there was big backlash
These magazines are settin them up seriously............


Here the labels of everyone on wikipedia. Check it out yll.
