celeb news Pollstar: Taylor Swift is biggest dominating artist in culture since prime MJ/Madonna

[vale9001]

No Micheal Jackson 1985.

 

Then this girl. 

[Klein]

Yes, argue with the wall. 

[Mr.X]

Literally everything I've learned about Taylor Swift has been forced down my throat without my ******* consent either because she herself has shoved her life in front of me OR because of her rabid, idiotic stans.

 

Please, enough. She has burned enough fuel across the world and killed the notion of 'talent' replacing it with commerce. That's her 'impact' if anything.

 

I'm so bored...

[Monster Queen]

You forget #1 Billboard Year-end artist, BBMA AOTY, VMA VOTY, #1 IFPI artist of 2023 (for sure), AOTY of Spotify/Amazon/Apple Music, and two 1.5 million + debut albums in a single year, 15M+ SPS in the USA, and the first entertained to enter Forbes Top 5 most powerful woman 

[Cameltoe Chariot]

I'm convinced at this point that this unprecedented peak will be followed by an unprecedented downfall.

The GP is about to be tested by the biggest overexposure yet in pop culture.

You’re comparing Taylor to a woman that was doing everything behind the scenes to prevent any female rapper to breakout for almost a decade, in fear of overshadowing her. And have been of the rails ever since one came and finally stopped her and opened the door for the slew of women that have been breaking out for the past half a decade…

Bunch of fabricated bull ****. Ironically they make the same claims about Taylor stopping bags for younger artists. Except she actually did that with Olivia

 

OT: There’s a reason Nicki and Taylor share a mutual respect, despite what Swifties wanna believe about little miss Pristine.

If u only think about money and chart records, yes. 

 

If you think about a real social impact in art, culture and society, no. Way behind many other artists. 

 

Taylor Swift would be the peak of economics in this case, a master of PR and how to have a lucrative business in music. But there's not much substance behind (But she knows how to sell it and who is the audience that buys it).

And she will keep dominating the industry for the next five years at the very least 

Now book your therapist in advance to handle this

So why these artists are not selected as POTY of Times? an annual issue of the American news magazine and website Time featuring a person, a group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year

I guess Times is a swiftie  

[MonsterTown]

Kacey, Olivia

[Asscatchem]

she's not done yet. 2024 will be even bigger with rep TV and TS 11.

[galomika]

I couldn't humm 5 songs she released this past three years

[Davidoff]

Overrated. 
all the basics love her cause they relate to her basicness.

Her last downfall led to Reputation, and she was actually doing some **** in 2015/2016. She'll be fine. 

[DevilsRollTheDice]

I would literally be embarrassed to be delusional enough to say no at this point 

Spoiler

 

[Magdalene]

Taylor said this happened after the 2009 VMAs, so it must be some country-pop artist who debuted during that period.

looks like most people didn't even read the whole article just the popbase tweets 

 

whoever she's talking about probably didn't even get to release an album

[fa77ot]

It's possible, and certainly in THIS era it is the biggest peak insofar as numbers go, but I think what stops it from outright being "the biggest peak ever" is that her numbers are impressive due to the time she is at her peak.

 

If this were the 1950s, for example, she'd be nowhere near as numerically big (if comparing her to herself today, not necessarily other artists from the 1950s). The same can basically be said for any time before streaming, where album sales are now inflated by being compromised of both physicals (released in many multiples to get fans buying as many as they can) and daily streams as that is the main way people listen to music nowadays. In her case, being a very commercial, relatable and well managed artist, this has her seeing big success.

 

Of course, fans willing to buy albums in this time is no small feat, but we can't say that Beatles or Michael Jackson fans would not have acted the same way if they had the same avenues of consumption and commodities offered to them, and a key difference in their times is that once you buy an album, your statistical contributions to the artist stops until you buy another. You can go back and listen to their discography a thousand times, and still those individual album sales are all that is counted. Now, Taylor's fans and the GP can go listen to her entire discography at a whim, and any interaction contributes to another fraction of a sale, which in totality, adds up to more millions that someone like The Beatles or Michael Jackson never could achieve without consumption rules as we have today.
