A short historical overview/timeline of pop music in 00s:
2000 - Britney, Xtina and Pink appear to be the biggest players on the field. The first two are media darlings and have a media-created feud. P!nk is the troubled child with a questionable future
2001 - Britney and Xtina going strong. P!nk finds her highly successful niche with Missundaztood. Other artists successfully emulate the styles of these three - Jessica Simpson and the like for Britney and Xtina and Avril, Ashlee Simpson and Kelly Clarkson in case of P!nk.
2002 - Shakira is on the scene and slaying
2003 - Britney and Xtina continue to be successful. Pink underperforms. Random flops rule the charts. Beyonce goes solo and proves to be a strong force.
2004 - Random flops like Ashanti
2005 - Again, some random flops.
2006 - Pink makes a big comeback. Xtina has a successful era. So do Avril and Beyonce. Other chicks are successful (e.g. Justine Timberlake)
2007 - Pink continues to build her worldwide fan-base, especially gains her iconic following in Australia. Nelly Furtado has a big year
2008 - Pink solidifies her US and worldwide standing with Funhouse. Xtina has her first true flop with her greatest hits. Britney does moderately well, but shows signs of decline. Gaga appears on the scene. So does Katy Perry
2009 - Beyonce, gaga, Pink are successful. Add Taylor Swift to the mix. But she's local and boring tbh.
2010 - Pink releases a greatest hits album that sells more than the regular studio albums of her peers. Xtina's iconic Bionic flops miserably. Gaga is doing amazing
2011 - Katy Perry sees massive success in singles, but can't sell an album. Beyonce underperforms. Britney does badly for her. Kelly Clarkson has a mediocre album sales. Avril flops. Gaga does average, but worse than expected
2012 - Pink releases another album and solidifies her status as the most consistent star and the biggest artist of her generation. Xtina bombs. Nothing else comes to mind.
2013 - Pink is on top yet again - has a big smash hit, a huge tour and a smash album. Gaga's sales dip. Britney flops with her single and is expected to sell little. Avril is done. Beyonce can't release. Katy Perry solidifies her status of a singles artist, but has smash singles.
That's it. oh I forgot Rihanna, but she's there every year doing her thing. She's doing pretty well. Not a big album seller or a tour force, but has amazing singles known anywhere in the world.
Ikr?! like omg is not even a big deal! They are falling apart
the meltdowns are more draggable than the actual situation, and that's saying something
Hopefully when the final numbers come, none of them make good on their promise to...
swine would be good if the singing was removed, and it was just the occasional "swine" screams, oinks, and the instrumental. the lyrics are barf worthy
