Taylor has the album sales
Rihanna has the singles
GaGa has the image/iconicness
Its a tough call, but I think I'll go with Taylor. I feel like she has a great balance of everything. While maybe not being as "iconic" as Gaga, she still has built a great legacy. However, the only thing hindering GaGa is that she needs to release more music...
I like how my posts gets warned because it speaks the truth V_V. I mean how can you have these type of thread and only put three pop artists? Sometimes ATRL gets very strange on the way they warn people. I see many "Off topic" discussions but they don't get reported like wth
The one who made this post wanted to compare just the three of them, is that way to hard to understand?
The youngest ever winner of Grammy for Album of the Year who has had 2 albums spend over 200 weeks each on the Billboard 200, has been named Entertainer of the Year twice by the ACMs and twice by the CMAs. The one who is swiftly approaching 4/4 albums certified at least 4x platinum in the USA, and has won Artist of the Year twice at the AMAs. The "career icon in her prime" (Billboard).
I'm not here for people downplaying Taylor's impact. Which one of your faves single handedly brought an entire genre of music to an entirely new demographic? Taylor is responsible for opening the country doors to the mainstream pop demographic: young girls. She has changed both the country and pop music landscape. Ch.
With that said, Taylor and Gaga are the only ones with impact, so...
Gaga is first simply because her impact is worldwide.
Taylor is second because of what I stated.
Rihanna is last because her impact has yet to be seen.
This isn't meant to be some kind of shade, but most of the people I know listen to Rihanna's songs don't even know it's her. I mean they only listen to the song because it's big on the radio and because it's cool and it sounds good, but they don't even know who's singing it. I'm sure everybody heard of lyrics like Na-Na-Na-C'mon or C'mon Rude boy, boy, but they don't actually know for sure who's singing it.
And this actually says a lot. And as I far as I know they don't listen to many Gaga songs, but when they do they know for sure it's her.
