Today, Ariana Grande has climbed to No. 11 on Chartmasters' all-time best-selling female artists list, surpassing Lady Gaga. Do YOU think Ariana now feels like the bigger star than Gaga, ATRL? Do you agree with Chartmasters' formula for measuring career success? Discuss.

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't. Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the thirtysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Tate McRae avatars and tributes to Olivia Rodrigo in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Madonna" — that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Madonna's. "But I know Madonna! Rebel Heart was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Madonna, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer. The Madonna of "Bring Your Love" is Madonna as Madonna is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is. This is the probably purest attempt Madonna has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

Because they genuinely believe another pop girl's flop will somehow make Katy's collapsing career look less embarrassing by comparison . After all these years, they still don't get it. The awful music was only part of the problem. Katy was dragged because she desperately chose to work with her former friend's alleged rapist in a shameless attempt to resurrect her career and still managed to flop harder than ever. On top of being talentless, Katy has no integrity. No matter how poorly Miley sells, I can't imagine her ever stooping that low. She released a harmless album produced by her boyfriend vs. Katy collaborated with an alleged sexual abuser to try to score a hit. Bass Persuades had mixed reviews vs. 143 is literally the worst-reviewed album of all time by a female artist on Metacritic. Miley remains a talented, multiple-time Grammy winner vs. Katy is nothing of the sort. They are not the same.
