banterfly Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 GP ships them back? The constant flops? Do you consider Katy, Rihanna, and Gaga as legacy acts now? Since Beyonce is still releasing new music and just reached #1, then she's an active MPG and not legacy? What are the signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bey_Rihstan Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 They stop releasing as frequently and move onto other ventures. And Only show up to things when they're being honored or winning a big award in some way (Gaga VMA 2020, Beyonce at… anyshow etc) dhdhdjjddj yes all the 2010's girls are legacy acts except Taylor, Ariana and maybe Adele. They still feel like they're in this generation of artists to me 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modeblock Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 The lucky girls have a legacy to leave behind to begin with, let's start there. But I think if you're still keeping up with the youngins and releasing relevant successful material, then you haven't entered your legacy phase. The following things serve legacy phase to me: . touring your hits and little to no space for new material . having award shows thrown in your honor . having the new girlies mention you in their interviews . flopping on the Hot 100, but doing well on streaming / sales . radio won't touch your music Taylor is an exceptional case here because she's both doing a greatest hits tour and slaying the charts / radio / sales / strihming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthoe Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Top 5 album debut, but the most successful single from the era is barely scratching the Top 40 on the Hot 100. That's the sign of a goodbye era and fading out of public consciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People check for her new releases pretty much every time. There's still a high interest in her albums and singles. Rihanna is pretty much retired. Katy and Gaga are both legacy artists. They haven't been really popular in a long time and haven't been able to get solo hits for almost a decade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay07 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Beyonce just had a #1 smash single and a #1 album that went platinum in weeks. Of course she's relevant. I feel Gaga is in the legacy phase but she put herself there. There was a lof of interest in Chromatica post ASIB and she got a top 5 and a #1 and a great opening week but she abandoned the album and took forever to release a followup. I think people have moved on. Rihanna is retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
