I wouldn't really call Adam Levine a sell-out. He's been doing pop since his second album, and even his first album wasn't really anything too hardcore. "She Will Be Loved" could have been on V and not stood out too much.
And what the hell at Pink? She has not changed her formula at all since "I'm Not Dead."
Get The Party Started -> Stupid Girls -> So What -> Raise Your Glass -> Blow Me -> Just Give Me A Reason -> You & Me
Biggest sellout of all time. Still love her though.
That album sucks so much, it is even worse than ARTPOOP.
It's not that bad, but it's so damn soulless. EVERY SINGLE SONG on it has the fingerprints of some major pop producer, and the lead single featured a guest rapper for Christ's sake. Plus there were so many corporate tie-ins with it, it was ridiculous.
How did I forget about that? It's the epitome of selling out.

The only one of those that screams sell-out to me is Get the Party Started, and she and Linda Perry themselves will tell you that it was just a formulaic party song composed for the purpose of getting popular. I fail to see how the rest of them are sell-outs, especially "Blow Me" since it sounds like so many other songs she's recorded before it.
The biggest sell-out in pop history will always be Jewel. I don't think anyone can top going from recording traditional, dirt-road country music like "Standing Still" to completely manufactured, corporate-mandated generic pop like "Intuition" over the course of a single album.
What Gaga is doing sounds so promising she might succeed next era and as a KatyCat I am not ready
Well, obvs Katy will get dragged through the pits of hell if Gaga ever achieves something great again but it's a little too late right now so you don't have to be worried about Gaga ever seeing success again.
Songs About Jane was a great album and IWBSBL was amazing
Yeah, Overexposed had Payphone, One More Night, Daylight, and Love Somebody.
Their previous album before that was flopping, so they slapped Moves Like Jagger on it and pushed that song. After it took off, they just decided to go as far as possible in that direction without looking back until "V."

Jewel was being a sellout ironically.
Anyway, Maroon 5 hasn't been good since "It Won't Be Soon Before Long."
