I doubt the queen is releasing another single from her majestic album called Warrior. The queens sometimes need rest after flops like what gaga did.

:hor:

Only true queen takes break after the 2nd single :hor:

Titles are subjective, similar to musical preferences. Fanbases naturally love to give their fave a title that would further solidify their regard / opinion on that certain artist, perhaps to satisfy their own want. I've heard some people, and even the media, calling the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and even Rihanna as the Queen of Pop at one point in time. The pop music scene is too competitive that everyone wants to be on top, hence the naming of titles as either part of brand imaging or merely boosting one's regard is too common.

But the thing is, unlike her contemporaries who are being called the new Queen of Pop by their fanbases and some media outlets, Gaga was actually named as the new Queen of Pop by a reputable media organization, particularly the RollingStone, not purely based on one's opinion but rather with statistics to back it up. The selection is somehow systematic, in the process denying any bias to be involved (or lessen such bias if it's inevitable). The term "new" is vital, because it represents the current generation of artists and a new generation of audience as well.

Madonna's influence and impact is truly incomparable as she literally opened the doors for female pop stars. She's a legend and more than just an icon. But for this generation, I'd like to believe that Gaga has earned herself to be the Queen of Pop of this generation. The recognitions from the likes of TIME, FORBES, and even the Guinness World Records, the accolades, the records, the worldwide sales, the tour receipts loudly say it. And compared to her own contemporaries, she's far ahead.

Elvis Presley had his time, and so did Michael Jackson. And both of them are considered Kings in their own rights. I could not see any reason for the female artists not to have the same treatment. Is there really a double standard within society for women not to have more than just one Queen?

Well said :clap:. Thank you for bringing up the last paragraph! I will surely use it in my future arguments!

This forum is just mad that Stay isn't flopping like most people here predicted so everyone is jumping on the payola bandwagon. Payola rarely happens in the pop industry today. It's just a way for people to justify in their mind why their stars aren't doing well.

If Rihanna's team wanted some extra plays, they would have no reason to go under the table. They would create an official radio deal like they did with You Da One. I can't at these payola claims that have been made just because the song is doing well. Rihanna's team has always been very open about the fact that they promote her songs by making radio deals in the past. They have absolutely no reason to hide it.

Lol at everyone thinking rihanna is going the 'ADELE' route, i guess i didn't know that adele trademarked piano ballads. Jsyk rihanna actually topped the hot 100 with take a bow,long before the adele craze began.

this new direction's cover song will probably lasts for a long time given the fact that is remake of really big hit decades ago and the fact that they have strong fan base that will support it + the will appeal to the GP more and older audience from the times of that song it will be probably another top 5 entry for them even maybe it could take the top this time, even I'm not fan of them I'll be here for this to be the leader rather than HS trash or those boring and lame attempts from Rhenna and Bruno to be Adele or M5's generic song :classy:

I like Stay alot but I don't think It is doing really well... after the grammys performances these sales aren't much and most likely this will be the best week for Stay.. and as it seems radio support it but it gains audiance slowly. . . idk

Bruno ain't copying Adele though. He had already ballads before Adele, same for Rihanna. :classy:

Well, I like also 1d music so It'll be good if it slays the chart. :classy:
