Google her. She's been making hits since before you were born.Ultimatum said:

You have heard this song, SOMEWHERE: Smooth Operator
she's a pop star with a voice of a goddess (and one of the most remarkable in all music)
she's been around since before ANY of these other people on the list were even born.
Dreams-Visions: I almost never agree with you, but this is the one time. Sade is gorgeous.

Anyway, Soldier of Love is the reason she sold so many copies this past year. It's brilliant.

Ah, yeah, now that I can agree with. Their s/t album had a pretty grand production (and the best production they'd had at the time), even though it ultimately wasn't much more than a generic rock album (the Load albums were interesting releases on the other hand, as the band experimented with everything from grungy alternative rock to country on those albums).

I'm not sure if there's an official Sade channel on youtube, but if there is, you're actually better of not linking to those. They often get blocked for international (and sometimes US) viewers. Like with both Sade links you've posted. I always link to non-official uploads of videos.ZephyrFate said:

Ke$ha is trashy and crappy, but I will always defend her honesty. For example, her live renditions sound just as bad as the studio versions. If you are a fan at a concert of hers, you are getting exactly what you expect!
Then you have the Katy Perry and the Rihannas who can't hit half the notes on their songs. What the fuck is the point of creating something you can't possibly sing? Dear lord, Katy Perry doing Teenage Dream or Firework live is like nails on chalkboard, and that poor Rihanna sounds like a wailing goat singing Only Girl and What's My Name. Even fucking Christina Aguilera (out of all people) did shit on her latest flop album she could never replicate live. This is borderline deception.

Judging by the title this should just be pop music thread.
So lets talk about how Rihanna's Rude Boy has a bomb ass beat (on the hook)

You know, I get that Lady Gaga fans are defensive because the artist is pretty much perpetually under attack, but this is beyond that. A lot of the anger in this thread is directed at the fact that all ten of those albums cover a very narrow section of the musical spectrum. That's shit, no matter who you like.VsRobot said:
This is pretty much exactly in line with my expectations; my expectations and my desires are two very different things. That the music industry has been in a poor state for a long time does not excuse the fact that the music industry continues to be in a poor state.Kusagari said:
EDIT: The term "major genre" is totally ridiculous, by the way.

I get the criticism of Gaga being too gimmicky, but I laugh when people act like she's not a Madonna-level talent.
The girl is crazy talented - far more so than Madonna ever was. I'd argue that Madonna was far more reliant on her image than Gaga, simply because Madonna has never been a particularly good singer.

I didn't mean that Rihanna is necessarily "copying" Gaga, but she started doing stuff like this (music video for Hard):DMeisterJ said:Yay! My baby Rihanna is on the list (twice)
And :lol at the notion of her 'copying' Gaga. Rih is all her own.
So, I don't mean it in a negative way, but Gaga took the costume/character thing to an extreme and naturally the industry followed suit. At least Rihanna was able to pull it off, unlike a certain Ke$ha:

And the Take That sales are within less than 6 weeks - it's been insane.
Totally justifiable success, though. Amazing album, the best Take That or Robbie Williams have ever been involved in. Evolution, capital E.

Don't like Gaga. Not surprised though. Whatever. Le the people like what they like. I personally find her music pretty annoying and her persona a bit too much.
Its not that I call those bad taste. Its taste nevertheless. what kind of puts me off is that, those music are just good for first impression. I bet peopel who bought those track are bored already, thats why they are succeccsul. Popele listen to it first time and think that its good music while underground less known music are known to hold your intrest for very long because of creativity and creating something in the very least.fanboi said:
well, as long as music sells, i won't complain...
OP says these are actually worldwide sales, which makes it (imo) even more surprising. I had no idea how horrible CD sales are (I know that digital download is way more popular nowadays but still, damn).Knox said:
What's with the country love in the USA. Lady Antebellum? Taylor Swift that high (no, I've never heard of her outside of GAF. If it wasn't for Kanye's stunt last year I'd still be oblivious to her existence)?

What they call country nowadays is nothing but pop sung with a funny accent. It's as mainstream as it gets. Labels like country don't mean anything anymore when those people are thrown in the same genre as the people who helped define it in the first place. It just doesn't make any sense.

Hope that was a joke. These numbers are pitiful next to MJs. Off the wall then Thriller, now repeat that to yourself. Think about it, he came out with an 11/10 album then one that is unquantifiable which continues to grow in sales - 20yrs on. Now sit down.
And wow at Em - He's still got it.
Edit: WOW & MJ selling that much in a week!
