Take it as a list of 'classics and classics-to-be of the 2010s'. They may be considered such for a variety of reasons: importance in the progression of popular music, as celebrated standouts in their genre, as representative of a particular musical movement, as commercial and critical juggernauts, as indicative of particular social and ideological trends.
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Drake - Take Care
Adele - 21
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Arctic Monkeys - AM
Beyoncé - BEYONCÉ
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Taylor Swift - 1989
Carly Rae Jepsen - E•MO•TION
|
Barring Katy and maybe Taylor, this is a good list

and there is no point calling out newer artists.
The only correct answer as we know, is Rihanna.

Really ? That's my opinion. I think the very big majority of people couldn't even name one album by these people. They have had a few hits but their albums are not known/remembered. They don't have one that is considered as a real classic.

I wanted to say Taylor, but 1989 could be considered a classic (even though its quality is questionable).
I'm going to go with my girl Nicole Scherzinger. With PCD I think their debut album could be considered a classic, but as solo artist, she hasn't had a classic album yet. I love Killer Love but sadly it didn't make much of an impact. JHud also lacks a classic album. Same with Jessie J and Tamar Braxton. Kelly Rowland gets a pass because Here I Am was quite relevant, though nowhere near classic status.

1989 isn't a classic. In order for an album to be a classic, the music has to be remembered and it has to be something people will be playing and appreciating in ten years time or more.
The amount of copies sold seems to be more remembered than the music. I don't think many of you know the meaning of classic because some of the albums mentioned here....

I can get behind the list Greasy Bruce posted . 
Rihanna doesn't have one at the moment. ANTI could be it in the future though.

I think FS/LS is his classic album. Everyone loves it.
Britney's are her first two. Diamond albums are always classics. Blackout is also a classic to some extent.
