Just based on album sales and longevity - in comparison to the three other big female pop releases of the last few months of the year.'

Yes or no?

Yes, it's not even debatable tbh

Obviously.

Beyonce is very old school and likes to promote her albums for a year and more. I see her next album coming out maybe summer or fall of 2015.

Not all three. Beyonce definitely did though.

Yes? Isn't this a fact?

And that is relevant to the OP because?....


Anyways, obviously, if those 3 are the only females that were talked about in 2013 (outside of ATRL, of course :roll eyes then yes.

Well, if you break it down to the 'closest competitor:'

Beyoncé v. Britney - He he ha ha
Katy v. Gaga - Again, he he ha ha
Lorde v. Miley - Miley had two number ones, Lorde has two Grammys - and a near platinum album.

So, in COMPARISON, all three kind of did.

dont forget miley.

Of course

You'd have to be completely delusional to say otherwise.
I'm only support one of those artists but I can't deny the vast amount of success all three received. Well deserved two because they obviously put a lot into their recent work. It's kinda interesting to see how all three of them are from different generations of music but were still able to dominate in similar manners.

Well, I personally believe they did not. One of them for example failed to have any noticeable cultural impact, which is an important factor to take into consideration when analyzing popular culture like this thread is attempting to do.

Miley had ONE number one

Without a doubt, yes.

What about Miley Cyrus? I don't have receipts for her but she seemed to dominating too.

Perhaps the four of them? Or I'd prolly scratch off Lorde from that list and include Miley.

Are you talking about Lorde or Katy?

But do I even need to ask...

ps. out of these three the one with the least impact is Lorde.

Yeah, I think so too. But Miley isn't too far behind if we think of it beyond that of a sales/certification level. She was on the media's minds completely for months on end, and compared to her 2010 musical era, the Bangerz era was very successful. "Adore You" seems to be shaping up to be a hit as well, so it wasn't just a flash in the pan.

Again, they both had a HUGE number one hit (although 9 weeks > 3 weeks), but Lorde's the one selling them ALBUMS and getting them GRAMMYS. So, arguably, she's in the lead. (For now.)

Care to elaborate? We come bearing receipts.
