Both eras were big. Having two tours pretty much confirms that.

Oh PLS.
When was BEP's last hit?

When was No Doubt's last hit?

At least the teenagers have some sort of idea about BEP/Fergie .

Let's not forget that this is the best song of all time, too.



I mean, the damn NERVE.

The Sweet Xscape was not big. Bye Felicia.

The Sweet Escape sold 1.7 million copies in the US and 3.5m-4m worldwide (difficult to get accurate sales) while producing one worldwide Top 10 hit ("Wind It Up") and a worldwide #1 smash ("Sweet Escape").

Sounds like a successful era to me, have either of Miguel's albums come close to those stats?

Every major network is showing the NFL commissioner's press conference as if it was the president speaking. That's how big football is here in America.

So, basically you agree that Gwen's music will be mediocre?

Settle Down was so weak. Out of all their choices, they went with that. Push and Shove was the perfect lead. It's one if their best songs and it got regulated to buzz track. And I wish people would stop acting like ND fans care about whether they smash or not.

But I think the name-dropping is a good thing. The countries mentioned could embrace the song actually. Switzerland is an extremely random mention doe.

I'm a sucker for songs featuring gospel choirs, this is such a gem

Meant to use successful. Both eras were definitely successful.

Oh my God.
ND's last hit was ages ago
BEP is still on the public's mind

Not that hard to grasp.

Fergie only had one solo era, though.

And looking at Gwen's solo peaks isn't really impressive - I thought she had smashed more.

Poor BEP from 2006 onwards!

The Sweet Escape outsold Miguel's entire career x3. How was it not big?

Right, considering that it peaked outside of the top 30 in most countries.

LAMB makes Gwen a one-album wonder, and bringing up Miguel's stats won't change that fact.

First, who cares about "the youth". There will always be 10 year olds who have barely been exposed to pop culture and don't know a lot of things, and soon enough a new batch of 10 year olds will replace those and have no idea who Katy Perry or Taylor Swift are. There is a LOT of music out there and what very young people know does not represent someone's legacy or importance. Out with this ******** that I've seen posted more and more recently trying to discredit artists.

Second, "Don't Speak", "Hey Baby", "It's My Life" are very well-known songs and highly remembered by people of all ages.

Crazy how The Black Eyed Peas have such incredible receipts yet they don't really have much of a fanbase. Like even on pop forums I've never met a Black Eyed Peas stan (if they even exist )
