FentyGa 14,340 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 the term ‘MPGs’ is used quite broadly, but I’ve decided to make a comprehensive list with criteria and levels I’ve also divided them into generations. I only went back as far as the 60s, because I’m Young™️ so i don’t know much about the julie andrewses of the world, but feel free to make suggestions about who else could be added my criteria is: -They have to have at least 2 successful album eras (defined by either a #1 album or multiple top ten hits on Billboard) * -They have to have at least one Grammy OR Billboard Hot 100 #1 single -Hold at least one significant world record, regarding charts and/or sales. *this doesn’t apply to artists who only have one album (Cardi B & Olivia Rodrigo), or artists who were able to achieve top 10 hits across multiple decades (Dolly Parton) so, here’s the list: GEN ONE: Dolly Parton Barbara Streisand Cher Donna Summer Diana Ross GEN TWO Madonna Janet Jackson Whitney Houston Paula Abdul Mariah Carey Céline Dion GEN THREE Beyoncé Britney Spears Christina Aguilera P!nk GEN FOUR Rihanna Miley Cyrus Taylor Swift Adele Katy Perry Lady Gaga Kesha Nicki Minaj GEN FIVE Ariana Grande Dua Lipa Billie Eillish Cardi B Olivia Rodrigo SECONDARY MPGs: (the girls I almost included, but just couldn’t) Shakira Fergie Nelly Furtado Gwen Stefani Lizzo Doja Cat Megan Thee Stallion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojo 19,365 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 i think you might one to narrow that list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
renly0910 413 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Where is Avril? she was definitely an MPG regardless of what your criteria are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 55,700 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Miley Cyrus and Olivia Rodrigo included as Main Pop Girls, but not Fergie, Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani (the blue-print figures for the R&B/pop sound in the mid- and late-2000s) feels wrong. We as Gaga fans are the generation that grew up to I'm Like a Bird, Say It Right, Cool, Big Girls Don't Cry consistently playing on the radio. Not to mention Shakira how hugely iconic and succesful worldwide was Shakira. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 55,700 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Also if Billie Eilish and Cardi B made the cut, I don't see why Doja couldn't. Say So was on par with Billie's biggest hits and she has so released so many widely known songs in a short time, and they are both on their second album. Plus, her music is way more pop-oriented than Cardi's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahrahbitchson 19,645 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Idk why i refused to believe theres no other MPG after GEN 4maybe because the success is there but the cultural impact worldwide doesnt.

DelusionalGaga 29,579 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I feel like all the girls you included in secondary MPGs are all actually MPGs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstertoronto 10,071 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Cyndi Lauper needs to be added to 80s pop girls, her songs Girls Just Want to Gave Fun, True Colors, Time After Time continue to be relevant to this day. Nelly Furtado has at least 2 huge eras and Loose especially is still getting listened to today. Avril Lavigne’s legacy is still referred to today too.

RenegAde 19,127 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Shakira is not a main pop girl but miley is ??? Stop playing and put shakira in gen 3 right after beyonce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstertoronto 10,071 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 And Alanis Morissette broke records and created an entire sub genre of pop-rock angsty girls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chlorine 47,976 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Basically every pop girl who didn’t flop should be on here. So yes as someone said above Cyndi should be in gen 2, I would put Kelly Clarkson in gen 3, as well as Fergie Gwen and Nelly… those 3 WERE pop music at their peaks. Shakira is also definitely missing. Tinta Turnter. SHANIA TWAIN. Nice try I guess. Better luck next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
