rihanna has umbrella

mariah's christmas song. that's it.
janet has all for you. and what have you done for me lately. that's it.
gaga has poker face & bad romance. maybe btw.
katy has roar and maybe i kissed a girl
bey has single ladies & crazy in love
madonna has classics in her whole discography. like mj. they're one of a kind. none of those pop girls' music comes even close. a lot of artists just have one or 2 songs everyone knows and can sing along to. real worldwide singalongs basically.

Putting What Have You Done For Me Lately but leaving out Nasty, That's The Way Love Goes & Together Again?

Most of the songs listed have yet to stand the test of time.
Objectively speaking
Britney -- BOMT, Toxic, Gimme more
Beyoncé -- Crazy in love, Halo
Rihanna -- Umbrella, SOS
Lady Gaga -- Poker face
Katy -- Firework
Taylor -- Love story

But Love Story and You Belong With Me, despite being country, are bigger classics than her pop hits will ever be (and this includes I Knew You Were Trouble which is my favorite Taylor track) so I don't see your point. A classic is a classic regardless of genre.

Taylor doesn't have any classics yet...but SIO will probably be at some point.
Lady Gaga has Bad Romance and Born This Way and Pokerface
Some of you all don't know what a classic is. Everytime doesn't qualify as a classic.

********. Katy doesn't have more classics than Gaga.
JD, PF, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro (in Europe), Born This Way and TEOG possibly.
Vs IKAG, Hot n Cold, Cali Gurls, Firework and Roar.
The likes of Paparazzi and Alejandro and Telephone are bigger classics than most of Katy's number 1s.
Just because a song is number 1 doesn't mean it's a classic

Mariano delivers delusion as always
I clacked at Paparazzi, Alejandro and TEOG
If TEOG is a classic, then is everything from Katy that made top 10 on Billboard. 
Katy wins again.

In fact, she does. JD, P, and T are not classics and never will be. Alejandro and TEOG are arguable; yeah, I could see TEOG being remembered.
But she certainly does not have any more than Katy.

And it makes a "classic" song for you?  The song was a big hit, but it'll never be a CLASSIC.
The Edge of Glory
#166 Fiji
Wow, really good for the classic song...

It'a ridiculous to exclude TEOG. It's definitely a modern day classic.

BOMT, OIDIA, CIL, Umbrella and PF are the biggest classics among the people in the poll
To a lesser extent I'd say Toxic, SL, WFL, CG and Firework
Outside of these I really don't know how anyone could think of any other songs as classics
