Kishi Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The biggest pop star in the world is a relative term...it depends on who is the most successful at that current time. Some of you are too focused on legends and your own bias. The original poster didn't mention "of all time". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kishi Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ^ Exactly. Adele was definitely the biggest sensation of 2011 in worldwide sales and radio airplay. She's still selling the most albums in 2012 though most of the hype from "21" has died down. Her newest single is doing well, but currently PSY, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, P!nk and Rihanna are smashing globally - they own radio AND digital sales. Madonna and Lady GaGa own touring right now, with each concert grossing millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 When the grammys come and P!nk's movie drops, she wins. Adele had it for 2 years. Beyonce makes big moves with the superbowl, but she got to top Madonna and Janet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(10 years later) Beyonce should bring out janet for a girl on girl tease...Then she would be barred from radio as well, and I won't have to hear "Dance For You" anymore.

I expect to see JayZ..I hope not DC because it wouldn't feel right imo. One thing for sure, she needs to bring it and think outside of that wind machine.

I don't think Beyonce wants ANYONE stealing the spot light... so I hope she doesn't have Jay-Z... He doesn't need the exposure I highly doubt the other two will be there... in the audience Beyonce is going to have a tornado in that stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xu1993 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Jay-Z is expected..he's on her biggest hit "Crazy IN Love"..it's for show and the Wow factor..I think he's going to be there.. I'd be shocked if Jay-Z does not show up. She knos people are expecting that song, and he's a key part of the song. All of her D.C. songs have B as the lead, so if she sang a few lines, without the other girls, no one would know. Now if her dad was still her manager.....

Bailey Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 No. I figured you'd at least say Rihanna but P!nk um no I would say the biggest current act in pop is Rihanna too, Lady GaGa is proving to be a flash in the pan if she can't be consistent with great songs and albums this early in her career, her follow up album really did not do that well beyond the first single, its sad, it's like that first single and getting passed it to another hit is really the test as to whether the album is a hit.
