Mariah is in a class of her own. She's a major pop girl because she's a legend, but no one's going to bring up her success compared to today's artists because she hasn't had a major hit this decade.

Thank you for actually answering my question! 
Makes sense.

Well I guess in order to be a main popgirl you also need some kind of recent/current pop relevancy which all the six popgirls I mentioned have.

The ones that are currently at the top and actual threats I'd say Taylor and Katy. Rihanna's lost a bit of power this time round but Work is obviously huge so she's up there as well. Beyonce's kind of morphed into a league of her own. The other ones aren't as relevant in today's charts. That doesn't mean they're totally irrelevant, but in my eyes that makes them not "major" anymore

Let me phrase it a different way: "major pop girls" are pop girls who we still expect to be somewhat culturally relevant in 10 years.

What kind of made up criteria

I've been on a Mariah appreciation moment lately and IA. You can only name a handful of pop girls who wrote all their hits

Major Pop Girls are those who a solid amount of receipts despite of their current status, making Britney, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Taylor and P!nk the most important right now.
Meghan, Ari, Demi, Selena... Lack impact or something to outstand.
EDIT: Add Katy to the MPG group, forgot about her.

I honestly feel that way. I tried to remain as objective as possible in terms of overall impact, longevity, and current status in the music industry.
On second thoughts, maybe Britney should be A or B.

When Gaga has sold more than several of the girls you placed in A-list?  Artpop - which produced two hit singles and sold 2 million WW - is not enough to drag her down to B-list, but try harder.
And if we're talking about overall impact then there's no way Britney and J.Lo are C-list. Quit trolling.

Not Gaga being as big as Kelly and Miley and Britney and J Lo as big as Meghan and Ariana That's too delusional, for real.

The entire concept of "main pop girls" is made up, so I'm not sure what your point is
