Katy Perry has 6 songs inside the top 50 songs of the decade. Does this mean she will forever be linked to the golden age of pop as THE face of pop culture?

Only singles can not make her the pop star of our generation. Not enough albums sold, no acclaim, no grammys... so No

If you must ask the question then the answer is no.

GrownBoy92

Abs not.

WalkingOnCharts

Quite possibly, and she'll definitely be remembered in the future there's no doubt about that

heartbeats

yes duh

halcyonday

Yes, because talent always wins.

How can she be? Lmao this is why people make fun of katy stans. Her album sales are well below her peers such as Taylor, Gaga and Beyonce. She doesn't have any impact, especially in comparison to her peers. She is a good single seller though i will give her that, however judging by the prism era it seems to be very hit and miss for her now

Not really. If you would look just at sales (which is not relevant) there are Adele and Taylor too.

J a y

Not mine as I'm over 25, so yes you can have it. If that's the best that this generation has to offer then God help us all.

Scandal & Media

This isn't the "golden age" of pop. Late 90s/early 2000s >

B'Day

Boy, not my generation.

She doesn't have any impact, but Taylor Swift has?
Not to mention that Prism outsold Beyonce and sold 2x more than Artpop.

Paparazzaid

I think it's Rihanna

But Katy will also be remembered as one the icons of this generation for sure

2014

No.

Adele, Gaga, Taylor, Beyonce were all bigger since Katy debuted.

They sold more albums and had bigger tours.

Taylor has a lot more impact than katy that is for sure. Katy really doesn't have any impact, especially when you compare her to her peers.

Also one era doesn't define an artists, when you looks at their whole careers, katy lacks a lot in the album department

KillingYourCareer

her songs and looks are widely known worldwide, so yes, she's definitely one of the defining popstars of our generation

Can you enlighten me about Taylor Swift's impact? For now I see that she followed Katy's footsteps with "1989".

No...
