As cliche as this question is, can Ariana compete with the big leagues at this point?

Yes and anyone who says otherwise probably thinks digital sales are still indicative of relevance, proving that they are stuck in 2010 and have no right to an opinion

She's getting there pretty quickly, I would say.

Has been since 2014.

Yes, she has been for awhile, considering she is outperforming many of the current 'main pop girls' today in both sales and streaming

Yes

Not yet. If the beginning half of the DW era had done better and Focus never happened then I'd say yes. Next era will be the deciding era imo.

Her latest album hasn't even cracked 300k in the US, no.

Since 2014 hun

I want to say no cuz she's not that big IMO but she might as well be cuz she is the best we're probably gonna get in a long time. Like, there is no real other main pop girl contenders in sight at this point.

Main pop girls seem to be a dying breed, we need to start lowering our standards...

Yes.

She doesn't feel main pop girl ish yet. There is no impact

Thanks for proving my point

Every song on Dangerous Legend has at least 12 million streams and My Everything remains the most streamed female album of all time

Her apparent peers do not match that threshold

Only on ATRL. Dangerous Woman can't even sell 300k pure

she hasn't reached that milestone yet. she needs to stand out from the 2nd tier girls, but she hasn't really proven herself yet. Her eras don't compare to any of Bey, Rihanna, Katy, Taylor or Adele's eras

I'm confident to say that a certain album also hasn't scanned that despite being released 7 months prior and in Q4 where sales are generally higher.

Bruno is a main pop girl?
