Gaga and Xtina. Bey could've easily gotten her #1 this year, but she just doesn't care enough to promote anything anymore.

Why is Gaga included? She hasn't been a main star since 2011. Anyway, probs K$.

maybe because her flop album sold twice as much as the last albums of Xtina and Kesha combined, and ha jazz album already outsold both Lotus and Warrior, but you tried. And not ha grossing 270M touring since 2012 without being a main pop girl

[Britney Is Fierce]

IMO all those girls, with the right material, have a chance to have another #1 in the future. I couldn't say the same about artists like Madonna or Mariah Carey, who will suffer in the airplay department due to their age.

[Bang Up]

Uh, I think it's possible any of these girls could snatch a #1 with the right song.

But the ones least likely are probably Ke$ha just because of what's happening with her career at the moment and maybe Beyonce just because I can't see her going back to the pop fluff she used to create (like 'Single Ladies').

She just seems extremely relevant on these little pop boards where her threads get like 9 pages. She + her music is still ignored/never talked about in real life.

[Roman Holiday]

Damn, the veteran pop girls really haven't been topping the charts much. Most of them have nothing to prove anymore tho.

[Girlicious]

Katy, Gaga and Rihanna are the only ones that will and maybe Taylor.

It's counted as a number one for Brit though

Because the rihmix brought in more chart points than the original in its week of release, pushing it to #1. The remix technically only charted for one week (it never was sent for airplay). The way remixes work is that their chart points are always counted for the original track as long as they are recognizable (i.e. same chorus as original track, similar verses, etc.). If a remix brings it more chart points in a single week, then the points go towards the remix instead of the original (i.e. Britney also getting the #1 for S&M). Since the song wasn't sent to radio, the remix never again brought in more chart points than the original and thus never charted again.

S&M was bigger than most of Britney's singles but Britney is only accredited for the remix's sales and only got one week of chart points counted from it. At least it was a perfect score.

Say Something did smash because of Xtina, and A Great Big World flat out stated that, and continue to thank Legend X for their success. What's the point of being biased? Anyways X's credited as a lead artist on SS.

But, my question is, why can't Christina's solo material find success? Is it really that hard to answer?
We clearly are seeing a trend here, so if "Say Something" smashed because of Xtina's input then we would've also seen that people are interested enough to purchase her solo material, which is not happening. Why?

I know right

[Lose My Breath]

Kesha or Xtina

Bey was close with a #2 this year

[KillingYourCareer]

Kesha and Legend X as main artists.

Because she doesn't even promote or release singles anymore maybe?

Of course "lilMonsterKayla", because you're living with your preconceived notions and haven't actually gone outside your house where Lady Gaga gets multiplatinum hits on Billboard and chart-topping albums. Let's not pretend Applause wasn't a big hit both digitally and on radio.

The same reason Gaga had to team up with an aging jazz singer.

Lol, who cares where Applause charted (a year ago, and was overshadowed by everyone else). The rest of the singles & the entire album as a whole did disastrously, as every media outlet will tell you.

[2AM]

Applause was not a "big hit" lol.
And probably Legend X and Gaga.

There's a difference between promoting an album and promoting an individual single. A tour, for example will have no affect on single sales because it encourages fans to buy the entire album. And the fact that your only argument is that she uploaded a video to youtube as promo Drunk in love reached #2, had there been actual promo for the single besides the Grammys she could've gotten to #1. I really don't see how performing a medley at the VMA's 6 months later, an album banner on itunes, a tour and 1 video could ever be considered promo for a song. An album? Sure, but definitely not a song. Bey performed DIL twice in the span of 8 months this year, I don't see how that is beneficial to its sales at all.

FYI - the banner was only for 2 days, December 13th and 14th. Drunk in love wasn't even available for purchase until the 20th of December. By then all the banners were already gone.
