I hope Gaga is on this list though. but for example here's their argument for Alicia Keys: Why Not Top 25? Rarely totally absent from the mainstream over the past 20 years, Keys’ time as a pop superstar was nonetheless mostly limited to her first three albums, and she hasn’t had a real hit single since 2012. Literally the same could be applied for Kety, make it make sense... and this for Kendrick??? Why Not Top 25? Even with those No. 1s, Kendrick Lamar just never really cared about making pop stardom the main thing, and (2024 aside) has largely shrunk from the spotlight when he didn’t absolutely have to be in it – during his most center-staged moment of the century, he was still sneering at Drake, “Only you like being famous.” And having in mind Post Malone has 9 diamond certified songs in USA... Why Not Top 25? Though he feels like he’s already been with us forever at this point, Post Malone has really only been a star for eight years now – and about half of those years were looking kind of dicey, as Posty tried to figure out his place in a post-pandemic world, until he got some help in 2024 from Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and (of course) Morgan Wallen. They just added her to promote even more her newest flop era Capaytol doing their thing as usual JOYRIDE 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, what?! 9 DIAMOND singles in the US?? I feel like I've been living under a rock. I only know Circles and Sunflower. Wow, I just looked it up. He holds the record too for the most diamond singles. Wow 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togekiss 2,337 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I’m thinking they’re sticking to the archetypical “pop star”, which is why indie leaning artists probably wouldn’t be included. It’s all meaningless bait anyway building a daydream 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nycboy 952 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It’s crazy that they drag her in the second half of the article LOL. You’d expect for them to maybe just not mention her recent failures… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
