Chartman

She has 12 albums, of course they all eat away from each other, Midnights is also not in her big top 4 commercially. No support from touring her whole discography right now.

Not every artist is lucky enough to have a career with 10+ hits. In fact if you have 3 or 4 gobally known hits and build a full career on top of them, you won in the music industry.

Maybe AI music is so dominant in 30 years from now that traditional older female pop stars can no longer pull off a #1 album of single.

Madonna is considered the queen of pop. Katy is considered the #25 artist by Billboard this century. There are levels between both careers.

20 years into the game and still able to be #1

Would you expect that if an ATRL member was born into extreme wealth to be different? To be more in touch with ordinary folks and taking a stance against capitalism, the very thing that allows this kind of exclusive lifestyle.

Since October 2018, the band released 5 studio albums and 17 EP's

In the end of the day, Katy has a (small) fanbase left that can help her at around 500k, if they like the song.

I don't see modern artist flooding this list. If it was that easy, more modern artists than Rihanna, Taylor, Beyonce, Katy, Xtina and Adele had at least 5.

Ariana only has 3 out of 10 #1's stay longer at #1 than a week. Kinda surprising.

Without her 3-4 hit songs, we wouldn't even know Lizzo exists.

Soooooo this earned you like $70

This is the sad thing, there are people alive right now, but they can not be rescued in time. They will scream and cry, but nobody can help them 😭😭

Taylor will soon have 9 over the 20 Million mark.

I miss just how messy celebrity culture was from 2003-2017 when i followed it online and on TV. Situations that even the news stations picked up. All the mess unfolding in twitter fights. All the shady comments. Now with the young generation, there is so much talk who makes the better music, who has the better voice, who writes better songs, who is the more ourspoken on political topics,… i guess this is because there is very little to talk about when it comes to their personal lives. The young ones seem to be very careful with what they say or post, their image. Nothing is really controversial anymore.

Taylor Swift to be the female artist of the decade TWICE

Taylor she is almost every day the #1 most streamed female artist besides a few days. I don't think Olivia's or Ariana's pure sales of their new albums are enough to close the gap.

Main hype phase 1999-2004. If you want to extend it maybe to 2007.

38 is still okay, 43 however 🥵

Cher and Madonna will be dead. Several others will be dead/retired. No one of the mentioned will be the IT girl of the moment, the ones still active will fill legaca stages and entertain their fanbase.

It's an 11th album vs. a 3rd album. The amazing thing is what Taylor still pulls off all these years later. Even Madonna stands no chance with her 11th album to compete with HMHAS units. But Billie stands no chance with her 11th album to compete with Taylor's 5th, another random comparisson years down the line.

Not Mariah, Taylor, Rihanna, Madonna, Whitney, Janet, Beyonce, Ariana, Katy, Olivia and Adele. But pretty much anyone else.

She is so succesful that having the most #1 hits, #1 albums, owning the entire top 10 three times have zero votes. And one vote for the 4M debut lol

Youngboy released 36 albums 😟

I would say all thing Taylormania connected. The tour doesn't do her justice, she could have gone into a third year like Coldplay/Ed Sheeran/Harry Styles and we really see her play even other countries she left out, grossing over $3 billion. Her being the biggest commercial artist of the current century ist extremely impressive, and more so if she is still in this position in 2050. She will always have that TIME cover, even in 50 years from now, a very unique accomplishment.
