I love me some Gaga and Ari but that article needs to calm down..

No one in the music industry will ever have the influence that Britney and Madonna have had, not even Beyonce..

MJ = King of pop

Prince = Prince of pop

Madonna = Queen of pop

Britney = Princess of pop
You aren't ever gonna get a 4some that iconic in your lifetime ever again!!

 

Not even Prince thinks he's a Pince of Pop. He's greater than that.

Again one was an album era by a 50 year old Madonna,one was highly anticipated comeback single after a huge *** era by a young pop star. 

Stupid Fad is literally most payolled single after Camillas Havana. To bad GP said no.

Too bad you cannot see that stupid love has been quite successful

[BRITannico]

Nice try but they never will.

[Jordan Miller]

Even Gaga and Ari wouldn't dare utter such pop blasphemy

Honey it literally hasn't outside of its first week. It bombed in Europe,it bombed in USA,Asia,Australia. Literally everywhere.

It makes HIAM look like a smash mega hit

Ppl were dragging Gaga all over the internet when numbers for its second week came out 

Lol what? Stupid is still trending top 40 where I live, my classmates know and live the song, some even excited for the album. And are we just going to ignore numbers? I have to agree that longevity wasn’t the songs strong suit but it defientley isn’t a flop

Spoiler

Plus, wasn’t HIAM a huge hit?. Thought I debuted at no.1 with 400k sales...

Screaming at Lady Gaga.

Her career ended in 2012. Ok she had a cute revival thanks to Bradley Cooperin 2018/19. But that's pretty much it.

I have a feeling her new album will do good tho

[ZsoltPalffy]

I’m not hating at all coz I’m a fan of both Gaga & Ari but they are not on the level & don’t have the legacy that Madonna & Britney has. 

[nakedsoldier]

This is all you need to know when it comes to comparisons

Lady Gaga is this generation's Christina Aguilera and everyone saying otherwise needs to study their craft, numbers and 'impact'.
Britney Spears is not the new Madonna and never will be, because Britney Spears, like Janet and Madonna had her own significant amount of impact. That's why she is in a league of her own and a lot of today's artists list her as their influence.

MJ, Madonna, Janet and Britney shaped pop culture and the likes of Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna etc live in it.

[PokemonSpears]

ok

[theannehedonia]

How about we stop comparing female artists and using newer females to invalidate older women? You don't see this **** happening with male artists. It's completely misogynistic and ageist, so it is stupid to do so. They're all talented women. Period. Newer artists will always draw more attention than artists who have been in the business 20+ years. In 10 years, Gaga and Ariana will not have the same staying power as the contemporary artists that come to the pop music scene. 

 

So sick of the media pitting females against each other and treating ageing female pop acts like garbage. r00d.

Interesting how there is never these types of articles written about male artists. 

It’s ridiculous that current and previous generations of Male pop artists can co exist at the top but yet female artists are always compared to each other and treated as if there is only room at the top for one main pop girl. 

THIS. This is what I came here to say. You never hear people saying Justin Timberlake is being replaced by Justin Bieber as prince of pop, or JT is replacing Michael as king. You never hear that imagine dragons is replacing The Rolling Stones or the eagles. You never hear drake is replacing Jay-Z.  
 

Just as there can be multiple Queens and Princesses who rule over different kingdoms, there can be multiple pop queens. At this point Madonna, Britney, and Gaga are all Queens. Ariana is a princess, but I’d say with 1-2 more successful eras and iconic videos/hits or performances she’ll be a Queen too. I’m sure she’s a queen to a certain generation, I just feel like she’s only had a handful of strong moments so far, maybe 1-2 that are actually iconic. And wtf they leaving Rihanna out?! She is a pop queen too, way more iconic than Ariana is yet and I’d argue more so than Gaga as well. Pop queens aren’t only white. 

[Sealed_With_A_Chris]

The media pitting and comparing 2 groups of women against each other through comparisons. Cool....

[RATCHET❤]

um ok..... nothing will replace that iconic duet tbh..

if it ended in 2012 then Brits career too lbr... 

[Itscuzim31]

 at them comparing Madonna 20 years into her career with Gaga 10 years in. 
 

if ANYTHING Britney should be compared to Madonna ushering in new generation of young pop (ie: Tinasha on Slumber Party if the general public woke up to her greatness and cared)  

gaga and ari collab is just an exciting pop collab. Not the epicness of Madge and B

What the hell are you both talking about? You can just Google those topics and you'll see that the current male artists are being compared to the previous generation artists. Artists like Bruno Mars keeps getting flak for being MJ/Prince/James Brown wannabe and so on.

That's not how it works. 

If Madonna has to be replaced by someone it would be Britney : the current princess take the crown of the last Queen. And then a new princess can happen. 
duh

[BritneySpurs]

It's inevitable that there are going to be newer people and the newer people have historically been more successful in the moment than the legends. Cher, Madonna, Britney, then Gaga.

However, I do think the qualifications for a pop star have really changed. It used to be about having incredible songs, videos, and performances that really stand out. You don't really need any of that anymore to be popular. It's way more manufactured now even more than when Britney came on the scene. I will say Gaga is the exception and probably the last true pop star. 

Ariana has some cute songs and has a good voice but that's about it. Calling her the new Princess of Pop doesn't make sense to me. I don't think she's pop royalty - she hasn't achieved what anyone else in the list above has.

[Mxra]

Okay soo lets be honest. Ariana might be doing well for herself right now, but i don't think she'll ever be considered an iconic legend. In 30/40 years time, everyone will still remember Miss Britney *****. I can't say the same for Ariana. Not the same.
