Gaga. It's painfully obvious.

It's between Rihanna and Katy. Rihanna for having the most number 1 singles after Madonna and Katy for having 5 consecutive number 1 singles.

certainly is not. She's already lost a lot of interest in a short time.
Adele. Timeless music and not stuck to any fashion trends. She'll keep a committed fanbase for years to come.

Britney Spears?
Why isn't she even listed there.

I said after 2005. Britney came out in 1998.

Out of those? I may prefer Ke$ha & Katy, but you'd have to be a fool to not realize the correct answer is Rihanna.

It's humorous to me that everyone is so willing to compare Gaga to Madonna, but without bestowing any of the positive traits. Madonna and Gaga are similar because they want to be the biggest stars in the world, and they're willing to do what it takes to claim that title. It is painfully obvious that Gaga's impact on the industry was immediate, wide-reaching and unlike her contemporaries. The people here saying otherwise are citing the fact that Rihanna and Katy have #1 hits, and that's what separates them. But those aren't what build a legacy. I realize this is a pop forum, and we like to wager on #1 hits, but The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Madonna aren't remembered for #1 hits. They're remembered because they're The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Madonna--they're larger than life and changed the landscape of pop culture at at their peaks, and that's why Gaga can't be erased, even if she's only been around for a few years.
Everyone loves to act like her career has fallen to pieces, but her power can't truly be ignored. The Born This Way Ball tour is so massive because of Lady Gaga, the character, and even if her it girl factor has flown out the window, she is not going to evaporate. Maybe I'm naive, but I simply don't follow the logic behind the idea that the string of fluffy singles from Teenage Dream is going to cement a cornerstone in pop history before the evolution from Just Dance to Born This Way, which produced such a massive reaction in every sector of pop culture and marketing over the course of three years. Airplay or not, #1 singles or not, her power was unchallenged and it's not going to go away even if people always have that "ew, yeah, Lady Gaga" in the back of their minds, it'll be there and she'll be around making music.

And to add to this, how many times does Gaga have to outshine her contemporaries to prove how unimportant #1 singles are? Interscope is not your ordinary label, when they put their money into an artist, it's not to make them go #1, it's not to make them slay the radio, it's to make them legends, and that is why Interscope is one of the only big labels that isn't in financial trouble. They don't focus on selling you $1 singles, they focus on selling you an entire brand, a brand like Gaga's. You can say Katy and Rihanna have more #1 singles, but Lady Gaga didn't need a bunch of #1 singles to sell out stadiums across the globe, she didn't need a bunch of #1 singles to become the most powerful and influential celebrity in the world. She got that way by being Lady Gaga, an artist and brand that doesn't have to rely on unimportant things like radio play or Billboard charts. That is why Lady Gaga can go on a six-month-long break and still be the most talked about celebrity. That is why Lady Gaga can gain a small amount of weight and send the tabloids into a tizzy. That is why Lady Gaga's name and brand will continue to outshine her contemporaries. That is why Lady Gaga's name is a household name. That is why Lady Gaga is one of the ONLY worldwide superstars amongst the pop girls of today.

Gaga... it's the only correct choice on that list.

You cant tell. Pop music is fickle and things can change in a flash. We've seen how one bad era can tarnish a pop star's image and career. A lot can happen in 15 years.

True, but that won't tarnish their legacy. I will use Mariah as an example. She was the biggest artist of the 90s, then Glitter happened and then Charmbracelet. But through that, she still had an undeniable impact and legacy.
Same goes with Whitney, we know her success, and despite her personal struggles we knew she was a legend.
