There are many other successful women who can be considered main pop girls. I just chose the few that I felt had the most competitive chart histories and impacted pop culture today. Please don't be upset or angry if your favorite artist didn't make it into the video!

wheres britney spears?!

[@updateshathaway]

Taylor is so stable

[@AmAmMonster123]

adele is stabler

[@YourneighborhoodYohan]

​@@AmAmMonster123then who's the stabber??

[@casualllama4386]

@@AmAmMonster123 she had a higher peak but she's not rlly stable in terms of album sales (not saying all of hers aren't relatively high though)

[@Fucorii]

​@@casualllama4386it's actually more stable than all her peers. It's just that she has a higher debut so it doesn't feel stable comparatively.

[@Bozeki]

@@casualllama4386dude 21 has sold 55+ units combined and Taylors best album have not even sold 20mil+ 😭 so yea Adele is more stable and she only has 4 albums

[@updateshathaway]

I think the reason they hate taylor is because shes too successful like every album release. She's releasing too much albums bc she can write and doesnt need songwriters to wait and also, ITS her job to release music. Not everyone can release multiple times and be successful like her. Not even a fan but i've heard evermore last year and i was hooked with her.

[@alberto_bifulco]

i’m gonna talk for myself, but i think it’s pretty normal to get sick and tired of some artist’s music after such a massive release. i’m not saying her music is not worth to be listened to, but after 2020 the world’s been a lil obsessed with her, we need a break. there are so many artists who deserve just as much attention.

[@Bozeki]

@@alberto_bifulcowell said like why do they not give like Adele her props? like Adeles album 21 went number 1 for 52 weeks and sold over 50mil units and 25 sold 3.38mil units in its first week and 1.2mil in her 2nd 3rd and 4th week making her the first artist and she also holds the record with biggest debut on Global Spotify with 18mil with Easy on me like she deserves so much cred 🔥

[@rupertfdr350]

It's crazy how 25 has 3.380M sold in its 1st week and another 1.11M on its 2nd week and on its 5th week sold 1.16M. Only album in History to sell. "Only one person, however, has plowed past one million copies more than once with the same project - Adele, whose 25, album of the year winner at the 2017 Grammys, will only ever be matched if another record someday sells more than a million weekly copies not just twice, but three separate times (you may not want to hold your breath on that)." - Billboard

[@boutglo6853]

Not the anti slander

[@museumoflana]

well tidal leaked it, it ruined the whole roll-up

[@BLINGRIAH]

What happened to ANTI was so unfair! It was released a few hours before the tracking week ended. So less than 1000 sales were registered. So around 460 first week sales and 11 million sales as of 2021 and it's still charting on the Billboard 200. Make it make sense! SMH.

[@x_Hayes_x]

I read that Samsung bought 1 million ANTI albums and gave them away for free (was part of a deal with Rihanna), and that Billboard didn't count those sales toward the charts.

[@BLINGRIAH]

@@x_Hayes_x yeah, Rihanna got 25 million dollars for that, but it impacted her sales since you could get the album for free (although the 1 million copies were gone in a few days, lmao).

[@tayIorswif]

​@@x_Hayes_xyeah because of born this way having $2 copies they made a sale only count for $5+

[@Sevrl]

25 is still more than double of 2nd place's sales.

Ariana here with all of here albums 👑👑👑

[@rimilchattopadhyayjee]

And she doesn't even sell 500k. God, she flops in album sales. Taylor and Adele ended her easily.

[@henrycavillisbrat1]

​@@rimilchattopadhyayjeeOK Adele can end her cause she can actually sing but Taylor can't hit a note if her life depended on it 😂

[@rimilchattopadhyayjee]

@@henrycavillisbrat1 Taylor has written all her songs. Ariana's entire albums comprise of so many rejects of Beyonce, Camilla, Rihanna and Jessie j. Even Adele's songwriting is cliche but for Taylor, all her songs are diverse and have noteworthy lyrics like 'a dwindling mercurial high' which is so incredible!

[@javitheswiftie]

⁠@@rimilchattopadhyayjeeariana has a harder time with album sales because shes so streaming heavy, TUN did very well despite that. Ariana also writes all of her songs for a while now. she hasn’t taken rejects from artists since her My Everything era so I don’t know how you got that info

[@rimilchattopadhyayjee]

@@javitheswiftie didn't you know that r.e.m was a Beyonce reject from her 2013 self titled album. Also, Victoria Monet has been a strong songwriting partner for ariana and she collaborated on sweetener and tun also i think.. And most importantly, God Is A Woman is a Camilla Cabello reject and it was supposed to be on Camilla's self titled 2017 album.

why isn't britney here? oops i did it again sold more than almost everyone here

[@iluvchrris]

exactly!! idk why they didnt include main pop girls like britney and christina

[@theslaytoendyourfaves]

guessing they only counted those who debuted (solo only) after 2000 also the invisible stan twitter rule that stans will only acknowledge those who still are relevant in stan twitter. like there's a big difference between xtina flopping and katy flopping. katy flopping is more laughable (she gets dragged in popbase comments) than xtina's bc xtina has been there before we were born so we don't really know her all that well unless you're a 🚬 who look sh!t up. you'll notice it's a lot exclusive to those who were big stars in the early 2010s especially those with big fanbases. emphasis on the fanbase!! beyhive is strong as hell and they don't dwell too much on the past unlike others. it's like an intuition where if you get it, you get it. if you don't, you don't. if you know, you know.

[@chicogutierrez631]
