I'm sure if this were 2001 and they'd just named Britney you'd find it equally hilarious.
They would've never said 'Queen' though. Britney has always been proclaimed as the "Princess of Pop" which is justified. To assert a title of "Queen" on Gaga is reaching, especially from a list consisting of the past two years.

It only applies to the last 2-3 years. CURRENT queen.
we focused the Queen of Pop data entirely on the ladies' lead performances. (So, for example, Lady Gaga alone is credited for sales of the Beyoncé-supported single 'Telephone,' while Beyoncé alone is credited for the Gaga-supported, and much lower-selling, 'Videophone.') No one is hurt more by this rule than Rihanna
Yup, and she gets the better deal because she gets those huge sales from the combination of her Country + Pop stan bases.
GaGa and Britney, Ke$ha should be proud, they are PURE pop acts that get thier sales from basically their pop bases, they don't depend on more than one genera to get them good sales.

Only being in the game 2-3 years doesn't deserve the title "Queen" of any calibur...

How does Taylor Swift ranking at #2 make the list invalid? You may not like her or her music, but her album sales have slayed your faves. Get informed, then we'll talk.
It's impossible to really crown someone as "the Queen of Pop", but for trying to logically determine the current Queen of POPularity in the US right now, Rolling Stones did as good as a job as possible. Gaga is obviously on top of the music world right now (and for the past year or two).
the list should be specifyed as 'popstar since 2009 and IN THE US'
Coz Rihanna has sold 7.5M albums since 2009 WW and 45M singles WW since 2009....
If this list was the last 10 years, this crown would be between Pink and Britney Spears.
If this list was the 5 years it would be Rihanna's.
Anyway... we all know that Madonna is and will always be the queen of pop
This list is only counting sales from the US.... Because if they were counting world-wide sales, some of those girls that are high in the list would be on the bottom.
