Economy 46,451 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Heres a list of the huge number of relevant artists that came out in the last decade that have maintained popularity. Years based off first top 10 hit or first year of media buzz: Rihanna: 13 Years Taylor Swift: 10 years Katy Perry: 9 years Lady Gaga: 9 years Justin Bieber: 8 years Drake: 7 years Bruno Mars: 7 years Adele: 6 years Selena Gomes: 5 years (10 years counting acting career) New artists from last 5 years have failed to stay relevant as we discussed in a thread last week and without building solid fan bases the big money maker (touring) is weak and record labels suffer Its weird that such a high number of artists from the time span above remained relevant and still the most recognized names today. Are labels trying to keep them alive because they cant create new stars that last? The Weeknd seems to be the only newer artist that appears to be remaining in solid footing and to a smaller degree Ariana Grande Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 46,451 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Also if im forgetting anyone on that list say so, so that i can add them. They have to still be relevant to qualify so someone like Miley Cyrus who went off the grid (even tho it appears to of been intentional) does not count despite having been big and coming out in this time span Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAnotherDay 8,402 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Honestly, no new artists really interest me at all. None of them seem as there (if you know what I mean) as stars like Gaga or Katy or Rih. I want big artists who everyone talks about again, I feel like the last time that happened was 2013. was NickARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,832 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I was thinking about this earlier today. It seems we've entered a phase where there is a substantial differentiation between singles artists (artists who are noted for hit singles) and albums artists (artists who are noted for hit albums), wherein albums artists are the ones who have more longevity, whereas singles artists consist mainly of flash-in-the-pan acts. Obviously, this isn't true 100% across the board, but it's been trending that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could still pop a hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyday flopped and is a horrible Single choice. ⟡ ⋆ ˚。⋆🦢⋆ ˚。⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerQueen 1,983 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It's hard for someone to become big cause of streaming and nobody buys physical albums anymore. Social media had put a dent on artists being hugely successful. But I agree that nobody new that has came around is interesting enough, like GaGa in 2008 Lace up my boots, throw on some leather and cruise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britney Spears in early career really only had a few hits but was always relevant in media and sold well its also often been common with rap and hip-hop artists Taylor Swift was a decent album seller as early as 2006 when no one outside country really knew her until 2007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just means less revenue is made that way but as long as the music is accessed they can be just as popular the issue with streaming is that if a label chooses an artist they wanna promote hard because they think they have what it takes, its harder for Labels to shuve a specific artists down peoples throats because people can access whatever they want it has reduced labels influence in creating new big artists And because only big artists tour big... I think Labels are trying harder to maintain their popular older artists relevant as long as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could still pop a hit Dangerous Women was a perfectly successful album. 1 billion streams on Spotify, 1 million albums sold WW, 3 top 15 hits and a successful arena tour. While it is less successful then the ME era, She's no where near irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
