They sold around the same numbers in the end, but Shakira had the bigger hits and tour. I say they are pretty close, that´s why i put them both as my pick for 2002. Im fine with either of them taking the spot!

Beyonce was IT girl over Norah???

Come Away with Me sold multiple times more than Beyonce's. It destroyed the Grammy. And she was much more relevant WW.

It only sold twice as much and basically none of her songs charted anywhere. Beyonce had 4 smash hits and won 5 Grammys in one night plus nobody was checking for Norah as a celebrity. Beyonce was the it girl, Norah just had a successful album. That's it.

Laundry Service singles were much bigger than Avril's and Shakira had way more media attention.

Shakira was deffinetly or FELT bigger then Avril. Iwas an avril fanatic back then and I'm from Canada so all the tv shows and radio stations were playing Avril in HEAVY rotation BUT Shakira smashed too and always felt like the bigger artist. she was EVERYWHERE. whether it was about where she is from, her distinctive and "strange" voice jokes, her hot dance moves, her ripped leather pants and feather earings, her wild hair, her barefoot tv appearances, her hit songs, her controversial line in Whenever wherever, rumors about her being a genius and learning english through the dictionary or w/e lol, artists wanting to collab with her, male artists talking about how pretty she is, female artists talking about how they wish they could dance like her and saying they know she will smash. she was massive

Literally none of them are mad in this thread because everybody agrees that she was it IT pop girl of 2002? I'd even argue to say a partial one in 2004 AND 2007 if you actually think about it. Bye irrelevant swine

Well, there is a world outside of the US. Lana was pretty big in 2012 in Europe, Oceania and South America. There is hardly a chance for new artists to cover up all continents at once. Gaga has achieved that back then, but look at Taylor. Her success was always mostly driven by North America and Asia.
Since 2013 however, female arists struggle to gain success in Europe with albums. Only Taylor has scored an overall success. That's why Taylor is the main force in 2014 and no female is close.

And it also looks like Taylor will be the one for 2015.

She was unheard of in Canada until 2013, so it's really hard to consider her a girl for 2012, whereas Carly had hits that were huge everywhere, worldwide in 2012.
