Any popgirl that has sold consistent platinum records, and has a net worth of over 100 million are main popgirls

Networths are irrelevant when determining main pop girls.
It doesn't have as much to do with music as it does with branding and stuff.

Rih, Bey, Katy, and Tay
Gaga hasn't been a main pop girl since 2011 and Adele is in a league of her own.

And that's not even counting social media presence where Taylor also has the edge by far.
true!
Rih, Bey, Katy, Tay, Adele, Gaga

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.
Britney may not be as popular as she used to but she isn't a C-List.

Being able to tour overseas in arenas or bigger. For Americans it means at least 10 non-English-speaking countries in Europe.
Getting people off their couch and wanting to reserve an evening to be with you on the other side of the world is the old definition of you have made it.
In 1965 the Beatles proved that doing music on the other side of the world in big venues like arenas and stadiums can be profitable.
Bring the living proof to the people. Not just seen on YouTube, Twitter,...

Major pop girls at the moment are Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Katy, and Taylor Swift. None of the new girls have done anything close to what these girls have achieved. I'm waiting for the next main girl to emerge.

True but net worth does have to do with longevity too

There are pop girls doing nothing in music having a good net worth because of advertisement value.

Being a major popgirl isn't just based on the now but past as well.
You have to take in account the artists whole career.
But it's funny how you didn't mention Brit's and Rih's biggest albums/eras.
Considering the OP you should've already known there was gonna be some weak ass Rihanna shade.

Rih, Bey, Taylor, Katy, Adele, Gaga are all main pop girls. It's been that way for years now.
