Katy's been Global her entire career but on a smaller scale than someone like Rihanna. Her success is very US-centric but she's not a nobody outside of it like someone like Janetor.

Yeah, but her singles are bigger selling than Rihanna's though

PIU was a huge success.

BC was also a a success that left a sizable amount of impact & is definitely referenced.

Cockiness was basically just a random release lol.

MD was successful in other countries outside of the US & was a nice-sized urban hit. CKB was the one out of that dual release that had a disappointing run.

TTT completely flopped for whatever reason.

Critical acclaim? No.

Sells? Yes.

Hopefully Walking On Air is the 4th single. It gets flack for whatever reason, but it remains the highest charting album track on PRISM.

The 4th single will no doubt be the single on summer radio airwaves.

Katy still got some top 10 left on PRISM, I'd say Legendary Lovers. Birthday and Walking On Air can be easy hits. Double Rainbow or Ghost can end the era.
Gaga can release Gypsy and pull a The Edge of Glory, which will help selling ARTPOP. I see no other songs on the album smashing though.

Do we have a snippet on the Shakira feat Rihanna song? Somehow i feel like this will disappoint.

Beyonces best album is BEYONCÉ but before that I hated the woman based upon principle lol. She's stupid, self-righteous and she promotes self-hatred which is not cool.
Gaga.... Gaga had the potential to be a legend, and she still does but she needs to breathe a little. Applause, DWYW and most of ARTPOP is as good as her best but she has just lost her spark. She has lost her sense of importance, her charisma, and her spirit. She can blame it on whoever she wants but I think it's in retaliation to the fear of her losing the fame which honestly will never happen, but it's understandable since that's the meaning for her inception.
Katy is basic, boring, unattractive and old... Also that ****( and avril)made me buy proactive because I thought it would work but if it didn't work for her wtf would it work for me? Idiot bitch made me waste 60 dollars and we are in the middle of a depression. Her first album had potential, her second lol no, and her third... good lord. I swear it's like WHY once you found your own lane would you try to faux-steal from talented women, real ARTISTS I mean, and do it so poorly with the best song writers in music? You will never be ALANIS morisette, you will never be Fiona Apple and you will NEVER be Regina Spektor. Stick to your trash, and leave the music to the people that are paid to create you sick ****ing marionette.
Miley, I have no issues with she has a good amount of talent, her music is great more often than not, and she respects other artists.
Taylor swift is brilliant and the future of pop, country, and house music I love her
Ke$ha is like Marty in Madagascar, all she wants is to be free, but she would die outside of captivity....Let her go
Britney Spears....
Rihanna has no talent whatsoever but she has been the voice behind so many great songs and the canvas for so many great looks that I can't hate her.
If I forgot someone they are either irrelevant, ugly, or don't merit a response

Was PIU supposed to be critically acclaimed?

PIU's sales are huge considering it was never a pop single & didn't get a video until it was long done charting.

[NewRihannaStan]

Nvm TTT peaked in the top 40. Which still impressive seeing as how it had no video and one performance in the UK

[NewRihannaStan]

PIU was acclaimed among the urban community

[Alexz]

Nobody will read that.

That's because Katy's US sales are so huge. Rihanna outsells her in Europe by a good amount. But Katy > In North America and australia

[Alexz]

I don't want to sound pretentious BUT what is the "urban community" is it only black people?

There were so many Rihanna songs released as singles in late 2011 & I think there was overload. WFL was being played nonstop & overshadowed anything she would've released until about March 2012.

I think she should've saved YDO for Summer 2012, it's perfect for summer.

I used to think PIU was kinda bad ass until I heard Drunk in Love, which is like the homo sapiens to PIU's neanderthal

[ymcmb]

i think beyonce kind of screwed herself by releasing 2 singles tbh. she should've just released drunk in love. pop radio has no problem with jay z and she would only have to focus on 1 single smashing instead of 2 that aren't doing that great.

[Alexz]

Beyoncé always releases multiple singles at a time because she knows her songs are basic and has to test them all.

You're kinda right

We be all night, and everything alright
No complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights
Boy, I'm drinking, park it in my lot, 7-11
I’m rubbing on it, rub-rubbing
If you scared, call that reverend
Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right
Armand de Brignac, gangster wife
Louis sheets, he sweat it out like washed rags, he wet it up
Boy, I'm drinking, I'm singing on the mic 'til my voice hoarse
Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard
Surfboard, surfboard
Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood
I'm swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body Benz
Serving all this, swerve, surfing all of this good good

[satellites.™]

Take it one step further
Freakum dress out my closet
Yoncé fillin' out this skirt
I look damn good, I ain't lost it
And I ain't missed a beat
Boy you been hanging out at night
Tonight I'm staying out 'til tomorrow
Dancing on them tables ain't got no cares, no sorrow
I ran into my ex
Said what up to his besties
Now we reminiscing how we used to flex in Texas
Don't be jealous
