It could be, but with Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, they are the holy trinity of the 2010s.

It's Taylor Swift!

Sorry, but Rihanna comes to mind when we talk about 2010's..

Taylor is 2020's..

Taylor, Katy, Rihanna, Adele

 

Gaga is 5th

For me is Taylor Swift, Rihanna feels more like the biggest Hit-Maker of the 10s (overall) but not the biggest name among all the MPGs of the 10s.

 

#1 Taylor Swift

#2 Rihanna

#3 Lady Gaga or Katy Perry

No, its Taylor, Adele, Beyonce then Rihanna. 

Taylor and Adele are obviously ahead over her. Rihanna next

Adele and Rihanna in the 2010s were also on another level, especially with how sporadic they released at various points in the decade.

Aren't all of Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster units credited to 2009? 

It's Taylor.

Gaga had a peak in 2010-11 and came back strong from 2018-2019

 

but Taylor OWNED the 2010s.

Taylor

 

Adele

 

Rihanna

 

Katy

 

 

then GaGa  and still she might be tied with Ariana

Gaga

Taylor 

Adele

Beyonce 

Rihanna

Katy

gaga def one of the biggest but #1 mpg is prob adele, rih, or taylor.

Not even Top 5 tbh.

 

1. Taylor

2. Adele

3. Rihanna

4. Katy

5. Ariana / Beyoncé

Yes, of course, she released Judas and ARTPOP.

Taylor Adele and Rih. It's pretty obvious

Taylor, Rihanna and Katy are the pop trinity of the 2010s in terms of streams, sales, and records. I would say Gaga is after them. 
 

Adele is not a pop star either. She is more of a soul artist with massive sales and streams.

Taylor and Rihanna were massive, but Katy has earned less units than Beyoncé and Gaga since 2010 (most of The Fame Monster units come from 2010 and Beyoncé has 15m worth of streaming units, + huge digital catalogue units from her 2000s albums alone).

 

The top artists since 2010 is Taylor, Adele, Rihanna/Gaga, Beyoncé/Ariana then Katy.

this. Gaga feels bigger than she is given her insane celebrity power the first years after she debuted, but she wasn't a huge commercial force by 2012 until Shallow/ASIB

You keep embarrassing yourself  

Hardly, she was huge in the 10's but several of her peers were bigger that decade. 

The takes in here. 

 

Adele was the biggest mpg of the 2010s. Taylor didn't reach her gigantic peak until the 2020s. Adele was THE threat for every pop girl after 2011. No one in the 2010s would say any other name when asked this question than Adele.

sadly its ts

Not even top 5

I'm sorry but how the hell would Katy be one of the biggest mpgs of 2010s? Did the decade end in 2013 or what? At most you could say Katy's success lasted until 2015 because of the Prism world tour, but Gaga had ASIB in 2018.. i swear the hate y'all have for Gaga will make you create fake narratives in your head just because you REFUSE to recognise her success… clearly it's Taylor, Adele and Gaga. I would've added Rihanna but she stopped in 2016 and success is also about continuity.
