So, they've calculated the amount of points accumulated from 2009-2011 on the Billboard charts and then ranked them?
And that alone determines the hierarchy of the pop industry? Right ok

Congrats to Gaga though, obviously

No, they took into consideration album sales/social media/tour sales/awards/reviews. I'd say they used pretty good objective measures.

It's also based on awards, touring, social media, youtube, along with the typical Hot 100, Airplay, Album sales, etc..

It's not ONLY on charts. It determines who is the most well-rounded artist.

The list is valid for the time frame. Queen of Pop is a major title to give, though, for such a criteria. GaGa obviously is the biggest Pop star now. But Queen of Pop is a collection of things. We can give the time frame 2002-2003 and Jennifer Lopez, Ashanti, etc. would be in the runnings.

Congrats GaGa, though.

And the true tea has been served. I'm not here for little time frames. I'm here for OVERALL.



But anyways congrats to GaGa for being on the top of her game right now.

That's subjective. Her fairy tale stuff annoys me a bit even though much older pop stars act just as cutesy and immature as her to connect w/ teens.

It was cute when she was 18. Now it's kinda sad.

But what's not subjective are the numbers - her album sales are massive.

Worldwide?

There are multiple pages with lots of different charts

[TheRealBabyDre]

So .. if in the next two years another singer comes and has the same succes as Gaga they crown another Queen of Pop ???

[a1016neo]

Taylor, Miley, Ke$ha???



This isn't a very good indicator for the "Queen of Pop." Its more of who's the hottest at the moment.


Heck, because this is from 2009 and onward, if they did a King of Pop, Justin Beiber would be #1!

What mistake? All the receipts are there for you.

They started counting in 2009. Beyonce and Britney were off the scene.

Gotta keep the title updated

[Jameson Teqkilla]

So we get a nice big receipt for GaGa, and a nice little receipt for Robyn.



Perfect.

GaGa at the top

Not to contest that Gaga isn't the leader - as I think it's pretty clear she's the most popular in recent times.

However...why did they start at 2009?
why aren't they using worldwide sales? to be the queen of pop you can't be local.
why did they not include features? they're using billboard data - and they count them for the female artist.
their formula of adding up radio points...is a bit twisted and not accurate.

it's all a little messy.
I think a more accurate representation of who's really the queen of pop of the world of the last few years goes
1) Lady Gaga
2) Rihanna
3) P!nk
4) Beyonce
5) Taylor Swift

If features were included, solo singles should have been weighed more than them, though.

Contrats gaga

GaGa, yes. Katy, yeah... still basic though. Rihanna, kinda... still no #1 album.

Holy ****. A #1 album has nothing to do with ruling the Pop world. Loud would have gone #1 any other week that wasnt so crowded. Britney, Beyonce and Rihanna ALL sold in the 200k range first week.

Katy is in no where basic. She took a hard **** on Britney in the Pop world this year. Lets not pretend.

It like that.2011-2013
A mess. :S

[Mr Telephone Man]

Britney & Beyonce, 13 years and still riding high

And that is something their fans should be proud of, instead of being pissy that someone who rose to prominence within the trackings years came on top.
