banterfly Posted July 8 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?

Bey_Rihstan Posted July 8 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
Popboi. Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Decline in demand for new material but still a very faithful following for the artist or their previous catalogue. 2
itshyolee Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I think time pretty much tells it all + when they're in a comfortable position to move onto other things.
Onyxmage Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Honestly when they do a residency. Its basically like the old folks home for a singer. 2 1

Dante Silva Posted July 8 Posted July 8 When they start doing alt versions/ jazz arrangements of their biggest hits because they've performed them so many times. 1
Taste of Honey Posted July 8 Posted July 8 When she be singing Christmas carols every year and not a damn thing else. 6
modeblock Posted July 8 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
Arthoe Posted July 8 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.
Strawberry Bubble Posted July 8 Posted July 8 they have been in the game for a long period of time, and people admire and respect their names

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
Klein Posted July 8 Posted July 8 When they rely mostly on nostalgia to grab the public's attention. 1
Jay07 Posted July 8 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

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted July 8 Posted July 8 When they start celebrating album anniversaries, doing re-issues, touring without a new album out, performing mostly old songs on tours for new albums, sporadic media appearance, and when people don't know their new songs at all.
Feanor Posted July 8 Posted July 8 When their tours/residencies & other businesses become a bigger deal to the public than their new albums.

Even if we combine sales of Everything is Love The Gift Renaissance Cowboy Carter Smile Witness it's less than ASiB + Chromatica
