k4rmabutterfly Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM I'm talking about the generation that emerged between the late 10's and the early 20's Pop icons already: Billie Eilish Harry Styles Main pop girls / boys: Doja Cat Dua Lipa Olivia Rodrigo SZA Travis Scott Fell off already, but may come back: Cardi B Halsey Post Malone Shawn Mendes Forces to be recogned with, but too local: Bad Bunny Karol G Morgan Wallen Need to prove themselves more: Jungkook Sabrina Carpenter TikTok stars (they may snatch 1 or 2 viral hits on TT per year, but they're very inconsistent and dependent on TT so far): Ice Spice Lizzo Megan Thee Stallion Tate McRae Central Cee Jack Harlow Lil Nas X The Kid Laroi Thoughts? Were lies told? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotunda Posted Tuesday at 06:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:01 PM 1-2 hits per year is a lot when most eras only push a couple of singles these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariananext Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Harry wouldn't be the pop icon that he is today without the 2012-2018 history with 1D so I don't think he fits tbh. He took 90% of 1D fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariananext Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Also, Ariana debuted just 14 months before Shawn Mendes (The Way: march 2014 -> Life Of The Party: june 2015), so it's either both or none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrina has SOLO of the following Espresso and Please Please Please both at 10M each daily Nonsense and Feather both at 2M each daily she's doing a solo arena concert tour as well those chunk of tracks Sabrina got was from a Disney label when she was a starlet, while JK is from the biggest boyband of all time yet given those JK should have had SOLO hits and yet most of his hits are with features. right now Sabrina is BIGGER than JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His album track streams are also (much) better than Sabrina's. So… what now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrina has more and bigger hits than Jungkook 4 songs that are or going to be platinum Gold album oh please if he can really do it alone, then why didnt he do it solo? Espresso and Please Please Please is bigger than any Jungkook song. her upcoming album will even be much bigger than Jungkook album even before its release.

Back in 2015, I saw her as a star who had transitioned, rather as a star that had recently emerged. She and Shawn are not and will never be on the same level in that way. It's names like Camila etc that are missing that makes Shawn's inclusion feel weird. Edited Tuesday at 07:34 PM by kataraqueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
