Earlier this week, Rolling Stone magazine named Lady GaGa Queen of Pop, but their methodology was crap. To go against that DigitalSpy (Digital Spy link)made a poll asking people who they think is the true Queen, and Britney Spears is the lead with Lady Gaga and the original queen Madonna behind. I mean Lady Gaga has been around since 2008 and that's not a long time who knows how long her career can last. Britney has been around for 13yrs and has sold over 100 million records pretty fast for only 13yrs. Madonna is just Madonna we know how successful she is, and if it weren't for her these other girls maybe wouldn't have their success. I mean her along with Michael Jackson changed pop music.

does there have to be a king or queen of pop? what does the bloomin title even mean...
if we are talking about the most influential female artist, then its madonna.... if its the most records sold.... then its madonna... if its a combination of the two..... its madonna...

mariah carey, celine dion etc have all sold at leats twice as many records as Britney spears, or Gaga, but they don't get a lookin?

i get the feeling that its a title for whoever is popular at any one particular moment in time and is therefore not really a king or queen, but a prime minister voted in by 13 year old girls..
I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they are like:
Hey, what are you doing here?
and im just like:
Oh you know, hunting elephants

Queen of pop? That's such a weird title. How about, King of Action Cinema, Duke of Crime Novels, Tsar of NASCAR, Archbishop of Haberdashery?...

The whole preening, cheer-leading, high-school mentality, diva pop royalty thing is absurd. These people are the products of marketing more than talent, and at some point they get so wrapped up in their own hyperbolic existence that their every waking moment of their lives is devoted to this seemingly never-ending cycle of self-perpetuating narcissism. They're not selling music anymore, they're selling product, a brand, an image of glamour and riches and an unattainable fairytale lifestyle. There's a constant media exposure going on that is far more important and lucrative than the music itself - which can rarely stand on its own merits.

And anyway, the Queen of Pop should be Björk. Lady Gaga is a pale imitation of what Björk has been doing for 15 years or so.

Lady Gaga got titled that because she is in the Illuminati. Read more about it on google. She says it right in her songs. You just have to listen to her correctly. And they killed 2pac because 2pac exposed the Illuminati. In 2pacs songs he said he sold his soul to the devil for money,fame, and power O.O

I believe that the Illuminati is just a marketing technique to make people like Kanye West seem more mysterious to the naive. Shame, because he's not bad. Anyway, back on topic, it's Madonna.

Here's what the articles said:

"Rolling stone ranked 16 solo female artists, looking at album and digital song sales, Hot 100 rankings, radio airplay, YouTube views, social media, concert grosses, industry awards and critics' ratings.



In selecting a time period to cover, we decided to focus on the very recent past: 2009 to mid-2011."


Must of been a slow day at the editors office or something, cause those are some weird guidelenss, time period. But technacillay based on their guidelines Lady Gaga is the Queen of Pop.

No. If you listen to Eminem's song" My Darling he was begging the devil for his soul back. He even explained what he did.

This Illuminati stuff is a gimmick. Just because he stated that rhyme, doesn't mean it's true. It could be a shameless metaphor. It's obvious he's trying to form some controvercy/talk with those lines.

I could just randomly say "I work for the devil" just to metaphor someone like a mean boss, or manager.

But back on topic.


Madonna is the Queen of Pop, as long as she is alive.

In The US we don't really label her as the Queen of Pop anymore.....Lady Gaga is because her music is HARDCORE POP

And oh yes others say it in there songs as well....someone even spoke about it.
