That does not count under promotion.

In selecting a time period to cover, we decided to focus on the very recent past: 2009 to mid-2011.

well ****, the King did pretty well considering this time range comes from the middle of the IASF era and the beginning of the 4 era before the album even drops.

But it would make more sense to look @ overall careers. You can't be the QoP based on what you did in a year and some months.

lmao Gaga is the only artist on that list who released 3 albums during that period

Conversely, if we'd widened our scope to five years instead of three, Taylor Swift could well have threatened for the top slot. And Beyoncé – with her string of 2007 and 2008 hits – would have made a much stronger run for Gaga's money.

Don't judge Beyoncé too harshly for her modest fifth-place ranking. Her I Am…Sasha Fierce album was already aging when 2009 started, and she's been between album cycles ever since. (We're confident that when we revisit this survey in a few months, her just-released 4 will propel her higher on the chart.) Named by Billboard as "Artist of the Decade" in 2010, Beyoncé has had so many hits since the turn of the millennium, she'd be anyone's first choice for Queen of Pop. Besides, an artist who kicked off the Obama Pop Era by singing to the Obamas at the 2009 inaugural ball has reached a whole other echelon of pop success.

Still: Our goal here was to crown the current tiara-wearer. And the hard-working, culture-dominating Gaga more than earned the title. Maybe a year from now, after 4 has spun off a year of radio, digital and video hits, Lady G and Honey B will be more evenly matched, tugging on either end of the Queen of Pop scepter like the demigods they are.

They're really gunning for the King, I can't.

I, for one, am okay with Beyonslay and GodGa rising to be the first Lesbian Queens of Pop. It is 2011 after all.

MTV = music television. It's promo for them. It's was originally premiered on VEVO.

MTV Special (including the Rain performances)
Good Morning America
Jimmy Kimmel (only once, the other performances were aired later)
Billboard Music Awards (even though her two cameos barely count as even one whole performance)

Letterman? When?

The remix doesn't count as promotion. Bazaar, Out and V magazine cover. We didn't even get our Rolling Stone cover this era.

I thought she did Letterman?

But anyway, she's had a decent amount of exposure this era, regardless of whether you count it as adequate promotion or not. That's my point

Twai

Robyn

I wish more people recognized her genius.

JC.

I'm quite content with this list but did they include Robyn just to embarrass her
