Girls Generation: introduce 9 members formation, introduce the Korean wave, shifted the public attention from boy groups  during 2000s to girl groups. Their rise to fame was equivalent to Sam Sung’s international expansion. 
 

They and their whole career is the cultural reset of Korea and Asia‘s popular culture in 2010s.

still waiting for the ot9 comeback

Lana Del Rey releasing Born to Die in 2012 and how it started the trend of a deeper voice in female singers and moody, ethereal songs. She inspired Lorde, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Halsey, Billie Eilish and and many more. Just because she doesn't get #1's doesn't mean her presence isn't felt.

Like her or not Nicki Minaj’s debut which open more doors for female rappers.

What gets me is, Nicki had a monopoly on female rap because she was literally the only one doing it who was current and well-known. I believe in the Bedrock song that launched her, she was the only female in Young Money. I debate how much influence she has and how much credit can be given to her for making female rap big again when literally any female who was in her place would've done the same thing. She was really lucky to break out when she did because if she'd debuted in the 90's, she wouldn't have stood out so much, same as if she were launched today. She got all those profitable features because...which other successful female rapper are you going to go to? There aren't any. Then Iggy, Cardi, Doja and Megan came along and suddenly, Nicki's career's looking really uncertain now she doesn't hold a monopoly on female rap features. She couldn't get a #1 even though she was the only big name female rapper, even when she pulled in other names to feature. Yeah, she finally got her first ever #1 this year but it was because she did it alongside a piece of human garbage who's inexplicably got a lot of support from people who want to root for the bad guy. The fact it took her 10 years to achieve that and to achieve it with him made it a shameful victory. Someone of her calibre should never have had to collab with him in the first place but that's how desperate she is now. I'd hardly call this the woman who opened doors.

Because you constantly write long paragraphs to trash talk black women I’m not reading your post. Not this one and not the next.

Excuse me, I do not trash talk black women, not for being black, not for being women and not for being black women. Fyi, my favourite rappers were always Lil Kim, Missy Elliott and Trina before the current wave of new female rappers came along, so I've always supported black women if I like their music, actually. I critique music, I treat all artists equally. If you read my post, you'd maybe realise that.

In those 3 years, we had Bad Blood's music video, Adele with 25, Rihanna with ANTi, Gaga's 2 Oscar performances, Beyoncé releasing her magnum opus Lemonade, Gaga's SuperBowl, and Look What You Made Me Do. Those were pop events.

Well, to be honest, it's her transformation that shocked, not her music that made more noise.

1. Mariah's Fantasy feat. ODB.

It was obscure back in 1995 to have a pop singer pair with a rapper. May I say that she were the first one to do so in mainstream scene and have success.

2. Madonna Like a virgin. Just imagine a new singer with the name of a sacred person in christianity naming an album "LIKE a virgin". + The 1985 (?) MTV performance simulating orgasm in a wedding dress.

 

3. Madonna's Vogue brought to the forefront the underground gay culture. + The blonde ambition tour made touring more than just performing.

 

4. MJ Thriller MV. This tought about having a budget and concepts in music videos.

 

5. Britney/Spice Girls/ Backstreet boys made teen pop essential back in the late 90s.

 

6. Gloria Estefan in the late 80s brought latin music to the global market with tremendous success. Later, in 1989 Kaoma established the "latin" trend with Lambada. This made latin artists eligible for wide success in the global market holding the elements of the latin pop music.

All I have to say is:

Madonna era - Britney era - Gaga era 

[Big Reputation 800]

in my mind nothing tops Look What You Made Me Do
