Why Are There No New “Main Pop Girls”?

[rasclautmangos 2,746]

Gaga was the last major pop superstar to emerge in my opinion. Almost everyone knew her name even if they didn't know her music or what she looked liked. 

Ariana is the only pop girl who've I've seen come anywhere near that level of impact since Gaga. 

I think Billie Eilish has a lot of potential. I don't get the impression that being a "main pop girl" is what she's striving for though.

Kinda

I don't really care for any new artists. And by new I mean "debuting after 2010-ish"

Omg same

idk why but music made before 2000 had a thickness to it that i miss in new music,

People can have their tastes, but objectively, Chromatica is a more structured, better concept, album. It also had more overall impact, and did better on the charts than Future Nostalgia. To compare Dua to Gaga is delusional. There was someone on here that said FN was her TFM    

Well yes, how exactly is FN similar to TFM? TFM was much bigger ofc. I think I like both albums equally imo tho. Also this is just as comparing Madonna and Gaga ngl.

Billie is alternative, and has been doing the same tired thing over and over and over again. Bad Guy was a hit, yes. But what has she done since? She is serving the same green and black hair, baggy clothes, and the whole "I'm an emo kid", that she's been giving for almost two years. I don't consider the music she makes as pop music at all, and I can't see why she'd be considered a new main pop girl.

Yeah I agree about her style, only talking from the GP’s perspective now, not my own

So do stanbases on ATRL and other forums, + Twitter, determine who is a main pop girl?   

Future Nostalgia wasn't loved by everyone. Was it liked by a lot of people in those stan bases? Probably yes. But, Future Nostalgia is a disco influenced album. Of course gays are gonna like it. Many people I've seen talk about it on here have said that the album was underwhelming compared to the singles, and that I do agree with. For me, and a lot of people, the album did not live up to the hype that she had with DSN and Physical. 

If anyone releases a basic disco influenced album, its gonna get eaten up by gays. But all the songs were very one note, and boring. If Hallucinate, Don't Start Now, and Physical are the only stand out tracks... then that tells you something about that album.

There's also nothing new or exciting from  Dua Lipa. Someone who is mainly popular with the gays doesn't mean they are a main pop girl. Dua will need to do something totally unexpected, and bring something to the table, as well as have more of an audience than just the gays who were deprived of disco music, to be a main pop girl. 

As for Camila, I can't see why she wouldn't be considered a main pop girl given that everyone loves her.

I love Ariana Grande, but she debuted 7 years ago. She isn't new, but a current main pop girl. Just like Gaga.

Ava Max... really?   Ava Max isn't known outside some European markets and is giving recycled 2008/9 pop songs. She isn't even popular to be considered a main pop girl, c'mon

Doja Cat is more rap. Say So was a hit and wasn't rap, but again, thats the only song that stuck with people. She isn't a main pop girl just off of one song. 

There isn't anyone new who can be considered a main pop girl. But the current ones are:

Gaga, Taylor, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Camila, and Demi Lovato.

You can’t write all this and then say that Camila and Demi are main pop girls... Wasn’t there just an GGD update about sharing misinformation on here?

She's the closest to being a main pop girl   There was, but you're trying to say Dua is a main pop girl... which is misinformation

Demi has been flopping too hard lately to be considered a mpg.

You guys are lowering the bar for some and raising the bar for others. Pick one.

Because the majority of the stans keep dragging & targetting new artists and call them _____ carbon copies. 

Ironically monsters are doing to Ava Max what some Madonna stans did to Gaga when she started.

[Werk 13,166]

Alice Chater is next in line if she ever achieves commercial success (hopefully soon). She can dance dance, and she can sing sing. Normani should also hopefully come as long as she serves more exciting music

Moderate hit?

"Truth Hurts" was #1 for 7 weeks, is certified 5x platinum and won 3 grammys. That's more than a moderate hit.

Her real "moderate" hit was "Good As Hell." It peaked at #3 and is certified 3x platinum. And it entered the top 10 before Ariana hopped on the remix.

literally no one knows her outside of america and that's not even debatable.

either way none of that solidifies her as a MPG

Cause if you watch the news everyone is at war. 

The world is struggling.

[moonlighter 11]

We will never see Beyonce/Rihanna/GaGa/Katy level main pop girl ever again, at least not for a very long time. The only one that comes close is Ariana. 

[FameHookah 4,601]

Ari but even she is quite basic af and i love her but she lacks the it factor, dua billie and these girls are so plain it hurts..

Idk anymore.
