"But the 5th is arguable."



Rihanna, obviously.

[zzmyth]

arguable?

No.

Rih. Without a doubt

Ariana is in yet another league which I would call Teenage Dreams

- Ariana
- Miley
- Selena
- Nicki

I couldn't group Pink and Shakira (and J.Lo) anywhere because in their primary eras they were successful and all but not the defining forces.

I love Gaga but she can't be considered a main pop girl anymore. Her last #1 single was over 5 years ago.

Keyword: used to. She's not a main pop girl or a force in this day and age. No shade. The OP is not talking about the past.

OT: Rih definitely

Adele is definitely above all nowadays. Especially above Gaga

[Mattyboy]

I think different Tiers should be a factor if everyone's wanting to include Gaga.

Tier A:
Adele, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift

Tier B:
Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, P!nk

Tier C:
Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor, Nicki Minaj, Selena Gomez

Tier D:
Carly Rae Jepsen, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, Gwen Stefani, Iggy Azalea

Tier F:
Charli XCX, Jessie J, Rachel Platten, Tove Lo

Wildcards until their next era:
Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Kesha, Shakira

Past legends: Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Madonna

[Avariko]

Rihanna.

[Cheeerl]

Adele, Taylor, and Bey are on a different level. They're not just "pop girls", they're pop royalties.
Rih, Katy, and Gaga are on the trinity.

[dwennz]

I wouldn't say Katy is main anymore...Ariana and Rihanna.

[Gaga_xxxdreams]

Gaga. Rih has no impact.

There are 2 top ten hits from the album Anti, same as ARTPOP.

Dope is a hit now? The op is embarrassing, give up already.

[BabyCantYouSee]

Why didn't you include Rihanna in your list of obvious main pop girls? She had an 8 week #1 single recently...

[Fanik]

Why is beyonce mentioned in the trier a?She is not that huge in mainland europe f.e. The gp here is not aware of her newest album and do not remember her last hit. Inb4 some hive provides itunes receipts.

[Mezter]

Yas at Ari being in the running though

It's clearly Rihanna. She should've been in the top 4

'Rihanna is arguable, obvi' never change Timber
