In short, Rihanna is the queen of music. YES.

But you cannot just look at 1 format and 1 era. Rihanna might be the biggest act of the streaming era, albeit i think she is not... I guess someone who is technically releasing music probably is... but she is the queen of digital tracks sales.

well, she and whoever the guest act is.

[MrLeonix]

Rihanna is untouchable and unmatched regarding singles.

I love features like the next person... but her use of features or being featured in songs is / was a bit excessive, don't you think?

Many artists that I grew up with, predominantly released solo material. I think that acts need features these days tho, bc the attention span of music lovers has shrunk to 1 album and the first 2 songs from album 2. So, in order to stay IN music, most acts need the feature now.

I understand that there are certain artists that can’t have success on their own and rely on features.

But that’s not Rihanna’s case. Rihanna proved that she can succeed both solo and with features. She has plenty of solo and leading act hit songs.

You know, I wrote it with a grain of salt. All the ladies mentioned are top-notch in themselves.

Thots home of sexuals?

Very solid placing for Katy there, seeing as she debuted in the digital era it shows a very solid crossover and appeal to a younger generation. Didn't know she was that close to Gaga. Others who were still doing well in the digital era failed to make that transition completely so Katy did well there.

[MrLeonix]

Actually Katy was ahead of Gaga like a couple years ago. Gaga just passed her and then Adele will surpass her with her next release.

[Enzolorenzo]

I guess Katy could bounce back if she’s still among the top 15 most streamed artists on Spotify

[MrLeonix]

On this day in 2007 Knee Spirit released the stunning “Piece Of Me”



This was IMO such a solid follow up to “Gimme More” ... those “Blackout” singles were on point

Yeah Gaga was much lower actually. She was near Brit and Xtina and far away from Katy but Bradley ASIB gave her a big boost

[aRat]

LOL no she isn't. Dua is not a good performer at all and she would be in no way be able to command a superbowl. Also what is she gonna sing ? The US GP know two songs by Miss Lipa. Not happening I'm afraid.

LOL so much about that. Studio 2054 WASHES away Kitty's SB performance

Yeah . . Gaga was way behind (her peers) but then she recovered her career with Superbowl + Joanne revival (in US) + A Star Is Born + Oscar Win + Chromatica (which now surpassed 1,2 Billion streams on Spotify).

Gaga climbed like f*ck and we have to give her credit. She fought back for her success and place in the industry.

[Goldmoney]

Holknee Spirit is such a good pun.

Yawn. It's a different setting. You are starting to become a little creepily obsessed with Katy sis, not a good look for you, or anyone really

No-MicNey Spree is such an inspiration

Miley Cyrus cited Britney Spears and Matallica as influences for new album

Omg.

[InFamous]

Interesting album from Miley, definitely has the ability to grow on me. After a few listens I would probably place it third on the best female albums of the year behind Smile and Folklore, which occupy positions 1 and 2. Also I really like the Pond sessions version of Folklore. Excellent.

[spiritboy]

I would like Madonna to sing her ballads accompanied by a symphony orchestra. She would slay, she has so many gorgeous ballads.

How many of Rihanna's 14 are solo ? Out of curiosity only.

[JSparksFan]

I didn't realise so many of Kylie's singles had such a short shelf life on the UK charts. Barring "Can't Get You Out of My Head", seems like her average single's tenure is about five weeks.

That was quite normal for a lot of people in the UK. If you even look at Madonna loads of her songs spent like 7 to 8 weeks only and back then the main purpose of singles were to give attention to the parent album.
