3 pages in and we've got Katy, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce, and Gaga. If someone can figure out a way to work in Britney and Kesha this would be an all out blood bath.
This more than anything says that Katy has a great record label that marketed Katy as a single artist better than any other current pop girl around. However, Capitol has not marketed Katy well enough to sell a substantial amount of albums.
Lady GaGa and certainly Rihanna, however, despite having lower single sales, definitely beat Katy by miles via album sales.
In terms of current (all-around) success, it would go: Lady GaGa, Rihanna, and then Katy Perry.
End of.
Also, just a point, LFN's struggle to reach it to #1 clearly shows to me that Katy's "power" is starting to wane. The pop panel is about at the point where it has overexposed Katy. She'll soon have a single that has a "Alejandro" route. Oh well.
What creates longevity is the ability to CONNECT to your music, not just put something out there that's catchy and look pretty, we all know how that ends....
you guys are no fun this was just getting started
