IN pop

i think

80's - early 90's = michael, whitney, janet

90's to early '00s= mariah britney

00's = timberfake, akeys

beyonce has potential but she needs more hits.

What a useless discussion. Ayumi Hamasaki is the artist of the decade.

Don't even get me started Kworbo.

Sorry, but Utada loses this one. Her biggest album was released in 1999.

Ayumi is the biggest superstar of the decade. She has been at the top continuously all over the world, her name is known by more than half of the world's population. In 50 years the 00s will be known as "Ayumi's decade". There is no doubt about it. Ayumi is the empress of pop.

Kworb and Jason, you're going extremely off-topic since we don't care here about those Japenese dolls. I'm going to report you.

[blackbeatxx]

It's not off topic. Who has sold more? Britney? Where is she now? I love her to death, but "artist of the decade" is not a label she deserves. Who else? Eminem? When was the last time he had a hit? Linkin Park? Does anyone care about them?

Ayumi is the artist of the decade

[emmanuel_punk]

Usher can't be let's see what happen to him next year with his new album, plus he is not famous worldwide here on Mexico and Latinamerica no one remeber usher the only popular song was "Yeah", talking about Beyonce she the same as Usher this too are not famous and succsesfull worldwide...
Eminem do extreamly great just in 2000 till 2004 this last 3 years he was over...
Justin Timberlake is doing really great if he still has #1 singles and amazing sales he defenetly will be the male artist of the decade and he was worldwide succsses.
and about female artist
Britney Spears was the most polemic and shes know worldwide but her biggest year was 99 now shes flopping hard, but she still have a chance cause 2000, 2002 and 2004 were great years for britney
Christina Aguilarera is over this decade she was like 3 years off and back to basic is not that good plus she didn't had a #1 single for her last album but "Stripped" do great her first album didn't count cause it was realize on 99.
Avril Lavigne is till now the Artist Of This decade (billboar say it) she has 3 succsesfull albums (more than 30 millions) she also has 3 official #1 singles she is know worldwide and I think shes the best one hope she stays as the artist of the decade!!! till 2010.
Shakira can be also cause here on latinamerica shes extreamly succsesful she HUGE! plus her crossover was on 2001 so she has 2 succsesful albums and also some #1 singles.

I think that male till now goes for Eminem (but he is over now) and maybe it could change and stay for Justin Timberlake. (Not Usher)
and the female Is between Avril Lavigne, Shakira or Britney. (Not Beyonce)

emmanuel, your post is so awful. Avril is NOWHERE near artist of the decade, her 3 albums did good but she's not artist of the decade.

Britney's 3 albums were blockbusters and they all came from this period, Blackout is kinda underperforming but it still has time to turn around and its pretty much gonna pass the 1 million mark which will confirm that she is the artist of the decade. Britney was a PHENOMENON from 1998-2004. Even now, she's still getting record hits just not as big as she used to.

[blackbeatxx]

^^that whole post Emmanuel, made me realize why i:

1. hate Avril and her stans

2. love commas and punctuation

[Kworb]

Avril is probably Ayumi's closest competition. Ayumi wins because she has never embarrassed herself with a song like Sk8er Boi. Step You was much more sophisticated.

[Alexz]

And the idiocy popped out.

[DesireOnTheRun]

I could care less about numbers, so I refuse to get all technical or list every factor that can determine "Artist of the Decade".

The top two hardest working talented young artists that have been holding it down mainstream throughout the 00's IN MY OPINION are Justin and Beyonce. PERIOD.

Numbers determine how much an artist is actually liked. Justin and Beyonce haven't sold all that much. They are fame *****s, especially Justin, but not decade-defining artists.

[MrDeeds]

People that says that Usher, Alicia, Mariah, JT are the artiste of the decade and tell that Avril isn't, make me laugh, for real...
It's not a favorite artist thread.

I'm not saying that avril is the one, just that she have more merits than those

[Kworb]

Overall consensus seems to be either Avril or Ayumi
