During the Teenage Dream era Katy ruled the Hot 100-yes, but these same singles were not that successful worldwide. I don't even think I have to mention album figures....

LOL, yes, her singles still did massively welll WW.

Her albums sales are great, I don't see the problem.

In correlation to singles chart performance, the album sales just aren't there. Adele is a better example of how successful singles should push an album.

These two? The future of pop music? I'd rather they weren't.

OK now, in all seriousness, after the WFL video I got a lot more respect for Rihanna, I think she has pretty good and unique singles... Katy still looks basic to me. I like her songs, but she's all about the fluffly, usual stuff. Let's see if she gets better.

As the future of pop music I'd like someone intelligent, that knows how to get the public attention, has a vast and varied repertory and delivers in the performance. Like Madonna.

Oh, so now you have to be really intelligent to be a big popstar?

Pop music isn't about selling albums anymore. It's about making hit after hit, making songs everyone loves and can sing along too.

So yes, Rihanna & Katy are the future of Pop.

I wish that tendency would change, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I think I'm more "old-school" on that. Not in vain, I hated Avril's singles (except for WYWH) and I love the rest of the album A LOT. Also, that's why I'm not into these big popstars

Don't use Rihanna and Katy Perry in the same sentence...

[musiclvr86]

Katy and Rih will both be around for a very long time. Anyone who says different must not be paying attention

[Lyzz the Monster]

Katy and Rihanna could be bigger, but don't be delusional. The world's biggest pop star right now is Lady Gaga.
Time will tell. Now stop. This thread is going nowhere

I think it's safe to say:

Adele- WW domination
Rihanna- UK, Europe, Oceania, Canada
Katy- US
Gaga- Japan, Asia

These are the 4 reigning Queens

GaGa slays the Latin America as well, where Rihanna is nowhere to be seen at the top.
US is pretty even between GaGa, Katy, Rihanna
Europe Rihanna comes first and GaGa comes right after. Oceania GaGa is on top.
GaGa own Asia.

It`s safe to see who owns the world.

You tried...

Rihanna maybe...

Did you even understand what I wrote? I asked you if Katy or Rihanna could release an album like Born This Way and still remain a success.

But since you didn't wanna answer my question I'll answer it for you: NO, they couldn't. I don't know why Rihanna stans claim that Rated R is so edgy and different because it's not, and it sure as hell wasn't as successful as Born This Way is.

I can't at you pretending that Judas wasn't a risky single choice, she released it during Holy Week for ****'s sake and still hit the ten. Katy and Rih could never.

Ignore them

Ke$ha writes more songs than both these girls, yet people say she has the least amount of talent?

Anyways, these two girl are the hottest popstars in the world.

I appreciate Kesha more then Katy. She tries , and her pop influence is greater then Katy
