!!!!!!!!!!

Rolling In The Deep was played on every single format in America.

Leona and her mane could never.

I'd say Katy + Gaga. I don't see them being relevant in 10 years w/ their 7th/8th/whatever albums like Britney is today.
Just can't.

Christina flopped but it's not irrelevant, she's #1 on Hot100

Ciara was irrelevant to begin with

Ciara had a hit album and singles with her debut. It took Rihanna 2 albums.

Bleeding Love... the bigger hit?



Show me the receipts.

Worldwide All-time Track Chart:

#28 Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis / Syco Music - 2008 - 10.420.000 points

#76 Rolling in the Deep - Adele / XL Recordings - 2011 - 8.689.000 points

"Bleeding Love" hit #1 in 17 countries; "Rolling in the Deep" hit #1 in 9 countries. She was a one-hit wonder though.

Seriously? Bleeding Love and RITD were both absolutely huge, about equal on the smash scale, but let's not forget about the fact that Leona Lewis barely managed to keep interest going long enough for her second single to do decently, while SLY and SFTTR are worldwide hits and Adele manages to pull BOMT album sales in a Teenage Dream-era of music.

Britney And Beyonce already beat Irrelevancy they been in the business at the top for more that 10 years!

RIhanna keeps snatching wigs world wide! and shes almost at her ten year career point also.

Katy is cute with all these number 1s, i see her having a Pink Type long career. Pretty good in the music field, but the rest of the world could care less.

Gaga was cute the fame(monster) era. Born this way really died down from its initial BOMM that it had. Most of its early sales were from the huge hype. She doesnt seem to be the "it" girl any more, shes still big but not the "it" girl. Shes already reached her peak!

So im going with

... GAGA!

Rihanna's been out since 2005? I thought it was longer than that...

Pretti mutch.

Norah Jones is still relevant. She still sells albums and sells out tours. And asdfg at Alanis Morrisette. You need to learn what "irrelevancy" means.

As an artist I would rather release one mind blowing album and then fade rather then roll out mediocre album after mediocre album.

Probably Katy. I think even the Aniston fans would find her too boring after awhile.

Gaga will have the longest career. I would know since I stan for the most famous actress in the business and recognize icons and future legends when I see them.

Katy.

Apparently the dollar store one is already irrelevant?

Bentley, I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

By irrelevancy, do you mean not being in the public eye as much, taking a break in between albums, continuing to make music yet remaining low-key?

Or are we talking about a complete and total flop that people don't want to hear anymore?

Britney will still have moderate hits, I think.
Katy is slowly becoming a singles artist... As soon as her singles won't do well anymore, she'll fade away...
Beyoncé will have a long career.
Gaga, too. I just hope the public won't lose interest in her...
As for Rihanna, I really have no idea...

[L.B GAGA]

Honestly Katy is safe for the next era. Since the public adored this albums single already,they will be eager for the next era even maybe getting her highest album debut.

Next Ri-ri, this era wont flop, as usual there must be that it single or singles in it.Riri's label never fails.

Beyonce will never fade away, the media has a way of hyping up her comeback and i am sure she will deliver, together with her choreography and fashion. If the next album is again R&B stuff, i fear for her.

Lady Gaga well her loyal monsters will definitely help seal her deal for the next era but how she completes this era will also determine the future era, whether she will debut highly in the Taylor swift fashion.Also her unique and creative videos breathes life to her eras.

Britney is safe just as Madonna not much to talk of there.

(JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION AND DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL MARKET *U.S* NO IDEA OF WORLDWIDE)

All of her singles have gone top 10 worldwide making her the 4th artist with most top 10 singles ever after Madonna, Mariah, and Michael, without leaving the States, and she has sold 9.4 million singles worldwide this era. Bye.

The US is by far the biggest market and you know that.

If she is Top 10 in the US it's not going to take a whole lot more sales to enter the WW Top 10.

IWG failed to chart in the UK and was one of her lowest peaking singles in many other countries. TTWE didn't do much better outside of its first week.

And I am only talking about singles here. Out of the five artists mentioned she also has the lowest album sales.

same as Norah Jones or Tracy Chapman then, or Alanis Morrisette. She is a folk singer, will have 1 huge era and then fade, sorry

Let's not get ahead with ourselves here, I think Adele has a chance with maintaining some portion of her relevancy. Adele has this personality Norah Jones lacked that prevented her from being a household name. I may shade her but I just got this feeling everytime I see Adele. She has this star quality that reminds me of Celine, Whitney and Mariah(without most of their diva attitude) . It also helps that she was the first artist to actually have a hit album and singles with most as ballads after a long time.

[Queen Bea.]

Katy.

She doesn't have that extra appeal to keep people interested hence why she is a singles artist and doesn't have as big a following as the others. Plus I think her attitude is overshadowing her talent, or at least the rumors of her attitude.

[i spit on haters]

Britney could NEVER be irrelevant, not when you're the epitome of pop like she is, even if she didn't make music for years, same applies for Madonna. Gaga isn't going away any time soon, which isn't a bad thing because we NEED artists like her, the bitch has longevity regardless if haters like it or not. It's a tie between Katy & Rihanna...and I see Ke$ha wasn't included who would have been my first choice.
