It is evident that the music scene had been shifted, following disappointments by Pop stars like Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Ke$ha. And with this shift, comes the tripping or the fall. The question is, in the upcoming years, who will be able to adapt and survive to the changes? Who will still be able to be "popular" and not "flop"?

Ke$ha, the GP loves ha now
Katy will survive
Nicki will not
Britney no
Lady Gaga maybe!
P!nk no
Rih yer
Beyonce nope!
Adele obviously
Clarkson NO

[ChandlerBing]

Rih and Katy. They are already THE faces of pop tho.

[Nikolai.]

Lorde will dominate

[Mr.Marvelous]

Rihanna, Katy Perry, P!nk, Taylor Swift, Adele and probably Beyoncé too.

As long as she wants to release albums, Lana will do more than fine.
It becomes obvious that Rihanna, Gaga, Katy and Britney won't have a chance to outsell Born to Die worldwide with their latest albums.

The only thing she has going for her is her feature on Timber, and that's it.
I don't see it for ha anymore.

Beyoncé will "always" have her urban following so she's here to stay. That said, I think 2014 could be one of her most successful years if she plays her cards right - judging by the way her tour is doing.

Rihanna will obviously have no problems adapting. She'll still be topping the charts 5 years from now - unless she has herself a Glitter-situation Shakira will be fine too. She has a very varied following and is very versatile herself.

Music seems to be shifting towards the Lana Del Rey/Adele-"type" of music, so they'll be fine; but once this trend is over, I wonder how they're gonna do. P!nk is doing her thing. As long as Taylor Swift keeps a nice balance between country and pop, she'll be doing fine as well; but she said she's going for a different sound on her next album, so it'll be interesting.

The rest; not so much. Madonna will continue touring and smashing with her catalog. Katy has a very "current" sound. Although I don't think she'd have a problem adapting to other sounds, I don't think a long career in music is what she's looking for. At least she's constantly hinting at that.

[Penk]

Beyonce, P!nk, Shakira, and Madonna for sure.

[Georges]

These will be still relevant.
Rihanna
Beyonce
Taylor Swift
Adele
P!nk
Katy Perry
Madonna
Ke$ha
Shakira
Kelly Clarkson

These will be underground and last longer than most artists but will never break back into the mainstream, which is not a bad thing.
Lorde
Lana Del Rey
Ellie Goulding

[Ressti]

Beyoncé is always relevant.

[Kaqkavalli]

Katy and Miley, since they are the only one who got a hit this year without a collab ... im not very sure about Mileys success after the hype falls.

If she dabbles with folktronica I definitely think she has a big chance of coming back. We shouldn't predict because nobody would think Gaga is where she is now a couple months ago even.

[Maleficent]

I expect Rihanna, Katy, Miley and Taylor to all survive and still be very successful. Madonna, Britney, Xtina, Beyonce and P!nk already survived 10+ years so it won't matter much if they do fade now.

[DevonDreams]

Rihanna & Katy will be the main ones..
Adele & Taylor will follow
Miley, Lorde, & Lana will all appear and have moderate success.
Nicki & Ke$ha are gonna have great comebacks

Interesting results. But what happens in 10 years when boobs start sagging, thighs start gaining cellulite, dance moves become sluggish and the only thing left is actual unperishable talent?

Beyonce
Pink
KC
Adele

most of them are in their 20s honey..... look at JLO shes in her 40s/late 30s right? and she still has a body some WISH for

[MCBeth]

Madonna has been relevant for the past 3 decades and a couple more years won't change that.

I see the following stars releasing music and being relevant well into the future.

Beyonce
Taylor Swift
Adele
P!nk
Shakira
*Kelly Clarkson
*Lana Del Rey
*Rihanna
*Lady Gaga

*Depends on what you mean by "in the upcoming years". If you mean 3-5 years then yes, if you mean 7-10 years than no.

As the current trend moves more toward indie-singer songwriter influenced music (Mumford & Sons, Lorde, songs like "Say Something", "Let Her Go", etc.), artists that can adapt to that will remain relevant. Katy has hinted moving in that direction (she has said she wants to become more like Joni Mitchell) and with songs like "Who You Love", I think she could pull it off. I don't think she'll be the chart-topper she is right now forever, but I think she'll find a way to stay relevant for a long time.

I don't see Taylor Swift going anywhere, and P!nk is also a safe bet.
