    • another #2 hit, is just fine. We Can't Stop was huge and I remember being struck by her 60m views after 7 days which was huge back in 2013 lol

    The album’s year end was in the 50s IIRC versus JT’s at number 1, which came out in March

    she was the most discussed celeb that year, especially after VMAs. I think BB is looking at who dominated the zeitgeist

    Then it’s Kanye West with Yeezus era: Bound 2 video, married Kim, had North, dissed JT, New Slaves performances and eventually Yeezus, etc.

    Only rivalled by Taylor Swift.

    No I am joking. If it is zeitgeist then it’s definitely Miley, Drake and Bieber/Beyoncé in that order.

    Defined? Thats a reach. But he did have alot of songs that rode the wave of popularity based on genre

    Him and Rihanna have ran the last decade. If you want to see it as him riding waves, sure, but he was still on top all that time

    Fun fact:

    Lady Gaga had such a stronghold on pop culture in her prime that she was the #1 most Google searched person every month from 2009 to the middle of 2012. She was even more searched than MJ the month he died

    MJ passed the torch onto gaga, just like MJ, gaga has off years but will always be on top. Her thriller is coming.

    I always forget how incredible big Rihanna is. Like Beyonce she made the list 2 times. But while Beyonce got atleast 2 classic albums, Rihanna got really only got her huge singles. Does she have any album that is any good?

    She has good albums, the reason why people discredit the album in full is because by the time people listen to the album 4/5 songs off of it have already been spammed on the radio, so people just consider her a singles artist.

    2010 was definitely her year. At that time, she was untouchable.
