The forgettable song Dr. Luke wrote about killing youth that he forced Kesha to sing went #2 without her asking her fans to stream it on YouTube for hours 
She hated the song but was chained down and caddle-prodded to sing it and it still became a hit without her having to lift a finger.

Wow, thanks for the knowledge.

Of course, when you're actually doing the topping, things can get a little masc and aggressive.

CL is so far the only one with pop girl potential.

All this talk of topping/bottoming 
Like I said, I'm a Christian.

What's Tori Kelly? Not even in my 20s and becoming a careless grandma about the newcomers

I feel kinda bad for Tori.
I'm like a hundred percent sure she's under the same management as CL.
I can only imagine Legend getting a hit and the unnecessary promo/appearances to follow, while Tori is at home watching on TV, weeping into a dusty pillow.

She looks SO basic
I still do not understand how labels think they can flog the most banal, vapid people at the masses with the most faceless music
If you look at ANY successful artist right now, they are filling a niche. Meghan is the sassy empowerment girl, and a song like "All About That Bass" is (as much as I dislike it) such a statement. Lorde has the hipster teens and the people who want "real music" but don't actually like "real music". And again, "Royals" is like a manifesto. Iggy has (had?) the white girls/gays who want to listen to rap but are afraid of black people. And Iggy does look like a superstar. Her lack of human proportions is striking to look at. Taylor is in a lane of her own, arguably the first pop princess marketed foremost as a singer-songwriter but without any of the prefabricated angst of an Avril (and with actual songwriting chops, unlike Avril).
WHO is this Tori girl supposed to appeal to?

Well, "artists" like Clarkson have careers, so.

That Tori girl could have a little cute bit of success and make some decent fortune for a short period of time. Not a loss I guess?

Tori Kelley made an appearance on America's Most Talented Kids, singing Christina Aguilera's "Keep on Singin' My Song" and won, beating out singer and songwriter, Hunter Hayes.

Perhaps, but definitely no potential as a major player. A novelty act, maybe.

the greatness of 1989 isn’t so much that Swift transcends boundaries as that she chooses to measure herself against new ones, so it’s not a mistake that “Style” doesn’t sound like anything else on the radio right now. When it does trip into familiar territory — when it arrives at last into the field of major keys and constant beats — it’s almost too late and the recollection of those early passages feels unshakeable. This makes the song a tribute to sex, rather than love — not entirely new territory for Swift but, with the exception of “Treacherous” on Red nearly three years ago now, rarely something she has approached so distinctly and with such vigor. “Style” delights in curling around moments of desire and turning them into hooks, in making what was once sacred a party. The stories we tell about sex are different from the ones we tell about love: they are not necessarily lesser but they often seem to linger in one place, to wrap themselves around specific images, to resist the scope promised by love. Swift knows this and allows the greatest moments of “Style” to take place on the stairs just outside a dark room (“takes me home/the lights are off, he’s taking off his coat”), spiraling into the jazzy ether of fantasy. She lets “Style” grow from these images and it becomes a tribute to desire, to the wandering ghostlike thoughts we hold for the bodies we crave, to the extraordinary starlight of our want. Which is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for Harry Styles, I bet.

What’s important is that “Style” is both catchy and clever, and Swift plays the stages of the relationship — getting back together for a weekend, feeling good, saying goodbye again — in a way that makes her specific experience more widely resonant with her fanbase. You’ve been there before, or thought of it, at least. The Swift of Speak Now and Fearless only hinted at the greys in relationships she now considers old hat, and it’s a sign of development that an artist who has so many songs of love gone wrong can so easily write one about how the End Of The Relationship isn’t necessarily the end of the relationship. “Style” sounds like a big warm life lesson, and like some might turn to their exes for warmth and comfort, some might turn to “Style” instead.

Woooo the acclaim won't stop
