Definitely not Taylor.

Fall Out Boy to an extent.

LMFAO @ pressed souls saying Taylor. People in every day life use "Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate." If that's not impact...

Katy Perry. ZERO impact, she's literally copying what everyone else did first, only making it a little more safe in the process. At no point has she ever taken a risk career wise.

3LW at approximately 0:44 in the year 2000 say hi:

[Azealia Banks]

Taylor and Katy, both 0 cultural impact.

LMAO @ EVERY single person you just listed being directly influenced by Kanye.

Feminem stays losing with NO respect. And I wouldn't talk about sales when Phenomenal and Shady XV tanked but you do you

Fem stays having a pop girl sing every hook these days because he's a has-been who needs the likes of Sia, Rih and Gwen to even chart these days


ETA- seriously crine at you saying Big Sean- the guy Kanye discovered is inspired by Fem. Next you're going to tell me that Drake is

Look how Yeezus tanked with less than 800k and an album from 00 outselling it
192 - 713,000 - THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP - Eminem
199 - 696,000 - YEEZUS - Kanye West

Talk about side projects instead of solo albums

Kanye West - Only One 420,000
Kanye West - All Day 400,000

The promo, the airplay

No respect ask Jay-z, Nas, Dre, Red Man, Rakim, Drake, JCole, Kendrick etc . You picked Sean what about the others

I can't think of one artist that's had the biggest influence on me, it's probably like two or three. The biggest three were Eminem, Kanye [West] and Biggie Smalls.

Look how the anger blinded u

Jealous and bitter, wish your fave had his success

Pink, tbh. Her last album sold over 5 million and that was only three years ago. Like, she always manages to score a lot of hits but she is treated like an underdog.

[prézli]

Taylor Swift

[FreeXone]

Celine Dion
Elton John
Pink
Katy Perry

[OBEY]

Taylor
Kesha
Celine

That's literally it

I think a lot of people in this thread have differing definitions of impact, so I'm confused what we're asking. Are we asking about how they impact the culture as in how often they are talked about, or are we talking about how they actually impacted and/or influenced other artists.

P!nk did the latter. A lot of new artists cite P!nk as an influence. The former, I would agree, but that's because she's not desperate to maintain a "celebrity" status like some girls who desperately thrive on it.

[Phil]

P!nk

[Tristan]

Adele

[RihannaLoverrr]

Taylor.
Katy.

[StonedSoulPicnic]

Celine Dion. You'd think that someone who sold over 200 million records would be very influential, but Celine's impact on music is very minimal.

[DroidRAZR]

Pink. She always slays with her songs and is probably one of the best performers this decade, but it's still like she is there but we don't care.

Sales are impact. They're the most important form of it, I cringe when people act like they're mutually exclusive.

Sales do not equal impact, just great promo and marketing.
