No, I would put Adele on that list. Maybe bump Katy down a few and add Adele.

I rebuke that point of view.

Adele is not pop

Maybe I'll bump Katy to 5th though

I can't at people discussing being huge all over the world, yet ignoring the second-biggest music market when it suits their argument to do so

BTW has sold 550k in the UK and 600k in Japan in less than 4 months.

Bad Romance and Alejandro were both in the top 3 most-played songs on UK radio in 2010.

BTW went to #1 in 17 countries, meaning 16 apart from the US.

Loud has sold the sales of BTW in UK and Japan combined just in the UK in less than 4 months.

Almost all her singles have become super smashes in UK radio

Btw may be a no.1 hit WW, but Rihanna has had 3 no.1 hits WW this era

Loud sold 1.3M in 10 months. BTW has sold 1.1M in those two countries in 4 months. So I don't see where you got those numbers...

I'd like to see your radio receipts for her singles, also.

Really? WMN? went #1 in 3 countries, S&M in 5. I wouldn't exactly call them WW #1 hits.

I'd say:

1-Lady Gaga
2-Rihanna
3-Katy Perry
4-Britney Spears
5-Beyoncé

It may hurt, though, that Bey is at 5th place. But it's the horrible truth: right now her landscape is terrible.
I wanted to put Katy at 2nd, but then I remembered Rihanna's album is doing better

But... Katy didn't have any flops this era..

Well you might be right. We'll have to talk about this when both era's are done.

I guess that would be fair, but if you just look at 21's amazing longetivty itunes and Billboard's 200, I think it's a pretty safe bet that 21 is the album of the year, and wouldn't be surprised if it's the album of the decade.

Ya'll are reaching. Japan doesn't even care for themselves nowadays. That's why the American created California roll's the most popular sushi there, and everywhere else. Bewp.

Let's not forget Gaga is the only relevant Western artist in China and India.
They may not buy records, but they make up 1/3 of the world's population.

I'd say she's the 3rd biggest joint with Katy Perry behind Lady Gaga and Adele.
