You can't, period.

The Laundry Service era, no question.

Sorry but Shakira´s peak>>>>> Katy´s


So Katy



at people voting Britney and Gaga.

Easily Katy Perry, it still makes zero sense how TD sold so little with all of those hits, a re-release, an extensive world tour and a heavily promoted movie

[A Little Unruly]

Katy.

1. Britney Spears - Oops, I Did It Again!.
2. Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster.
3. Adele - 21.
4. Beyoncé - Dangerously In Love.
5. Shakira - Laundry Service.
6. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream.
7. Taylor Swift - Fearless.
8. Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad.

Rihanna has the less amount of impact, let's be real here...she's more the consistent type of "pop-star", not exactly a cultural sensation perse. The people voting for Katy are being ridiculous, her songs were playing on the radio all the damn time during the record-breaking TD streak.

[LONGWAY2GO.]

Definitely beyonce, by far

For people voting Gaga.....if her peak was smaller than the rest of those artists, how come you guys call ARTPOP such a flop, and when other artists like Rihanna have similar sales, its seen as fine?

The only Rihanna album to have similar sales to Artpop is Music of the Sun and everyone knows that album was not a hit..

So were Rihanna's in 07-08? They were also bigger on a ww scale and GGGB was the best selling album released in 2007 while Teenage Dream was the fourth biggest selling album released in 2010 (one spot behind Loud )

Teenage Dream had better longevity and Katy felt bigger thanks to the endless amount of 1#s, the YouTube domination and brand-expanding products like these:



Plus, the tour was more successful and at the end of the day it sold more digital singles than Rihanna in most pop girls' main market: U.S. I'm not even being shady, I said Rih is consistent there wasn't really a time where she was THE biggest pop girl, maybe with R8# . She's still a bigger celebrity than Katy overall though, those Google receipts don't lie .

[nikko0l4l]

Shakira would be the only right answer.

[Wafflecakes]

Probably Rih... she always gets hits but never had an era where she just crushed everyone.

Naw. She had a huge peak of one song.

The rest of her "career" tho (in the US at least)

[Penk]

Rih or Katy.

Her actual peak, Laundry Service, had 2 Top 10 hits and is 3x Platinum. Hardly the embarrassment you want it to look like
