It's weird though, all the major pop girls have only managed two big hits with their most recent eras.
Taylor: I Knew You Were Trouble, We Are Never Ever
Rihanna: Diamonds, Stay
Katy: Roar, Dark Horse
Miles: We Can't Stop, Wrecking Ball
Then you have the basics like Gaga, Selena, Beyonce, Demi who could only get one hit (in some cases just a local moderate hit).
The last pop girl to get three proper WW hits from an era was P!nk. The 2009-2012 years where the girls could get many smashes from one album is gone, the GP grows tired of these girls faster than it did.
California gurls - Teenage Dream - Firework and even E.T to an extent. we forgetting Teenage Dream happened now?
Ariana is coming to SCALP with this album. I can feel it. She will have at least two Top 5 hits and serve amazing vocals at the VMAs. Mariah better release before Ariana does or she will truly never have a chance at a comeback.
i feel like ariana will have a full-fledged breakdown whenever she gets close to legitimate pop stardom. she's so damn nervous looking. i don't think she'll last long
Katy's most iconic/memorable singles really are her first two. But "Teenage Dream" is more timeless and if there's anything that she will be remembered by, it will be that song.
