and MPGs is a fictional concept invented by gays who only listen to mainstream corporate cookie-cutter pop music.

Most people who use these pop forums are pop music stans that listen to nothing else and live in their own tiny bubble , they care so much about charts, "critical acclaim" (lol), certifications, statistics, pop cultural impact,  whether someone is a flop or not, they talk more about the success, marketing side of things , rather than THE SOUND or THE MUSIC. They reduce the value of an artist to the amount of #1s hits they had, or the amount of Grammys they won. It's just part of stan culture you know? I rarely see discussion purely about music on here. It's always a popularity contest. So like... It's weird when u guys pretend that these pop girls will be remembered for their music

Turn your pretension down as there many people in this world that have many hobbies, likes and interests that form communities of like minded individuals. Like the Star Wars fans, try applying what you said to them and see how they would respond. 
 

 Baby One More Time was released 20 years ago yet is still remembered and considered a classic despite pretentious critics thinking it was a one hit wonder. 

So what if the gays like that type of music? Even then you’re wrong as straight people even like pop music just as I found many gays that are into sports, what planet are you from?

A legend of hit singles, but not amazing albums.

 

Decade-end lists

Quote

Doreen St. Felix of MTV News stated that Anti was a "rock-star" album and was noted as a "banner for heterogeneity in R&B — the real range of it," continuing to state that in the early 2010s EDM was the popular genre. Felix stated in a more in-depth review that "Anti could even change with the seasons, depending on which tracks you chose to listen to."^[147] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian stated that R&B was in a "golden age" and 2016 "was its most potent year yet". Petridis stated that artists such as Rihanna pushed the genre's "boundaries", noting that Anti was "sprawling, exploratory and opaque".^[148] The album's commercial performance, especially its streaming performance, was noted as helping R&B "flourish" again, along with Drake and Kanye West. Rihanna was cited as the second most streamed artist of 2016 overall, earning 795 million streams by June and was named the most streamed female of 2016 and 2017 by Spotify.^[149][150] Anti produced eight songs that topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart — "Work" (featuring Drake), "Kiss It Better", "Needed Me", "Love on the Brain", "s** with Me", "Pose", "Desperado" and "Consideration" — surpassing Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (2010) as the album with the most number-one songs on that chart.^[151][152]

Rolling Stone's journalist Brittany Spanos stated that Rihanna was one of three black women, alongside Beyoncé and Solange, who "radicalized Pop in 2016". In an in-depth review, Spanos stated "The album is a startlingly direct statement from a black female pop star, one that many are not afforded the opportunity to express. In the media, black women are often cast as either jezebels or mammies – over***ed or under***ed with no choice as to how they are received. Rihanna's resistance to typecasting and her positive affirmation of her ***ual agency made her the year's slyest rebel, a maverick living life as she pleases."^[153] Taj Rani of Billboard stated "Work" has brought the genre of dancehall to the forefront of American music, as it became the first dancehall song to top the Billboard Hot 100 since Sean Paul's "Temperature" reached the feat in 2006. She opined the song is a prime example of "an unapologetic black woman proudly showing her heritage at a time when our politics are dominated by #BlackLivesMatter and Donald Trump's racist, xenophobic and misogynistic tirades."^[154] Da'Shan Smith of Billboard stated "Love on the Brain" became the most subtly influential pop single of 2017, as the music industry experienced "a prominent surge of retro-harkening balladry, across different musical genres", following the success of this song on pop radio; which he described as "a rare find today, because traditional R&B’s presence on the format is an oddity."^[155]

Marilyn Manson cited Anti as an influence on his band's album Heaven Upside Down, saying "Strangely enough, one of the records that influenced this album strongly, and it can’t be taken literally, is Rihanna, her last record. That one song, ‘Love on the Brain’, it really hit me because I saw her perform it and she just... meant it."^[156] Album track "Higher" inspired the song "Liability" from New Zealand singer Lorde's second album Melodrama (2017), when Lorde was reportedly "moved to tears" listening to "Higher" and this helped her to write "Liability".^[157] Contemporary artist Awol Erizku created a series of pieces inspired by musicians, one of the pieces was titled, "Same Ol’ Mistakes," inspired by the song of the same name from the album Anti. Referencing one of Rihanna's logos, Erizku spoke of how the song inspired his artwork, stating "I always thought that logo was really funny. It’s one aspect of pop culture that I thought fit in my world, Rihanna is a voice of our generation, one of our ideals of beauty. You can see these two things co-existing in the same environment."^[158] Anti was ranked 99th on The Guardian's 100 best albums of the 21st-century list, based on a 2019 poll of music writers.^[159] Billboard ranked it at number seven on their list 100 Best Albums of the 2010s.^[160] Rolling Stone ranked Anti at number 230 on their 500 Best Albums of All Time list

Rated R is deemed a pivotal record in Rihanna's career as it was released nine months after the domestic violence case with Brown. Inspired by the altercation, it was also her first album to feature a parental advisory label as a result of the new "much more hard-edged persona" she embraced.^[154] In 2019, ten years after the album release, Chuck Arnold of Billboard described the record as a "coming-of-age manifesto" and also Rihanna's version of Jackson's Control (1986). According to him, Rated R is "her declaration of independence from Brown and her taking charge of a narrative that had turned her into a victim."^[155] Similarly, Blavity's Jordan Simon compared it to Jackson's The Velvet Rope, and described it as a "a dark portrait of a Black woman's journey to self-healing".^[156] Jack Price of The Daily Nebraskan wrote that the album is a testament of evolution and being strong, "to getting knocked down, getting up and coming back harder than ever".^[154]

Despite the lukewarm response towards the album at the time of release, according to Price, Rated R set the groundwork for "the emotional songs, powerful vocals and ability to float right from catchy pop singles to bass-heavy rap flows" featured on her follow-up albums Loud (2010) and Anti (2016).^[154] Concluding his anniversary review, Simon, wrote, "Ten years later, the album's eclectic mix of dubstep, hip-hop, rock, pop, and R&B still sounds as fresh and new age as it did when it was first released."^[156]

Loud received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 given to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67, based on 22 reviews.^[118] Jon Pareles of The New York Times perceived a "hermetic, cool calculation" on the album, writing that it "works the pop gizmos as neatly as any album this year, maintaining the Rihanna brand".^[43] Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt commented that Loud shows Rihanna "undefeated by her worst circumstances — and finding redemption in exactly the kind of pop nirvana that made her famous in the first place".^[119] James Reed of The Boston Globe called the album "an unabashed return to where Rihanna belongs: the dance floor" and stated: "As if liberating herself from the depths, she's a force on these 11 songs".^[120] Stacey Anderson of Spin commended Rihanna's "full, healthy claim to her ***uality" and wrote that the album "offers a confident female ethos on par with the best of Shakira or Beyoncé".^[117]

According to Biography.com, Good Girl Gone Bad inspired Rihanna to transform her image from a "teen pop princess" persona into a "fully fledged superstar".^[129] People magazine noted that Rihanna follows the likes of recording artists Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera "when she sheds her innocent image for an edgier look and sound".^[130] Jay-Z also spoke about "Umbrella" and stated that the song represents an artistic grow for Rihanna, "If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she's come."^[129] Da'Shan Smith of Billboard commented on Good Girl Gone Bad's impact for Rihanna's career on the tenth anniversary of the album's release: "The Good Girl era became a universally recognized moment where RiRi solidified her position as an international superstar, her signature bob haircut and newly seductive stage persona captivating fans and press."^[131]

Regarding the commercial impact of the album, Entertainment Weekly's Margeaux Watson wrote, "For a pop star who was once dismissed as being incapable of yielding more than one hit song per album, Rihanna's newfound staying power is nothing short of remarkable–and proof that there's room for more than one diva in this game."^[132] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic concluded that it was Good Girl Gone Bad that made Rihanna a "full-fledged international pop star with a regular presence atop the charts".^[133] Nick Levine of Digital Spy described the album, as the closest thing to a Thriller that 2007/08 is likely to produce.^[134]

Pop doesn't exists anymore...it's different. There's no main or other simply pop is dead.

[DearBritney00]

It's a real thing just like "Main Pop Boy".
