Title: Guys I just saw this on threads and wonder what yall take is

"Without being biased, Rank these female artists based on global popularity"

(https://i.ibb.co/8nW5fL07/IMG-20250719-065509-385.jpg)

In my mind nicki is the lowest but idk if that's because I kinda hate her.  I feel like Shakira is someone Americans would say is the lowest but lowkey she's probably smashing this list.

This is actually a lot harder than I thought and it changes a lot  :plzstop:

Right now I'd say:

1. Beyoncé/Taylor - Taylor sells more but Beyoncé has more cultural impact, so I'd say they're even.

2. Rihanna - and it's only cause she hasn't put out an album in years. When she was releasing yearly I'd say she was more "popular" than Bey or Taylor.

3. Ari - she kinda has the twinks and gen z girls on lock, her singles/albums sell well - I don't think she moves the culture the way the first 3 do.

4. Nicki/Shakira - I think Nicki is more infamous at this point but theees no denying her impact and the sales (during her prime) were unheard of for a female rapper. She does drive conversation but not in a good way lol. Shakira is huge in Latin American but idk if she's like their Beyoncé or more like their Pink.

This is really tough, tough enough that it's no shade to whoever would be placed last as these are some of the most popular women in the world. It depends on how you measure and really the region but I really wanna say:

Beyoncé
Shakira
Taylor
Rihanna
Nicki
Ariana

Nicki is also the only rapper on the list.

These are her peers but they kinda aren't at the same time.

This is kinda obvious but unfortunately sometimes the obvious must be stated.

Any comparisons to her direct peers would undoubtedly result in her being #1.

Nicki is more popular than Kendrick and Cole on a global level. I might even argue Drake tbh..

well honestly that wasn't it.  I knew she was last for me and my perception but I also know I'm biased so I was just wondering if that was the ACTUAL ranking or just my perception.  Also, was just curious how others ranked everyone. Like, I know Taylor is very popular in the US but idk what her GLOBAL presence is tbh. I know Shakira is actually a girl thats very popular globally. Just seeing what the people said

You haven't seen the leaked paperwork? She isn't seeing any money from her tour. It's being garnished for all her debt. That's why she came out with the story that people were stealing from her. Placing blame elsewhere instead of her not being responsible with her money. Some celebrities don't ever think there will come a day when their money isn't coming in like it used to and mismanage it. Add icki to the list

Post by: stillpretty on July 19, 2025, 01:37:36 PM
someone's recent earnings being put towards a debt doesn't mean they're broke.

unless they've saved nothing beforehand

what it means is: their recent earnings are .....being put towards a debt.

fsfmsfsfsmfm

people who save money and don't spend it all, and are financially responsible should know this off the bat.
but if someone only knows living check to check, someone not getting their next check will inherently mean they're "broke".

now if news comes out about her being unable to keep up with a mortgage, large bills etc.

that would def speak more to how much liquid cash she has actually has available in the bank

we'd still need to see receipts obviously as only her accountant would know the true tea but it would at least certainly speak to a lack of actual available funds.

many artists have contractual obligations which are many times fulfilled through their tours

or are given "loans" from the industry to fund projects, that must be repaid through album sales, tours etc.
the amounts may vary but the concept is the same.

this isn't really anything groundbreaking or new

and again, anyone who's financially responsible will know that someone not getting their next check doesn't automatically mean they're "broke."

that's super important here.

A simple "No, Bey doesn't have to worry about that" would've been fine.

Also, Cowboy Carter Tour is looking to gross $400 million by the end of the tour. Over performing the original projections :unsure:

since this is a nicki thread now (as i assumed it was or would be)

might as well throw this in, as its relevant considering he seems to be making illogical comparisons as well.

"beyonce doesnt brag about her tours selling out, nor does Taylor, why does Nicki?"

Nicki is a RAPPER. being "braggadocious" is inherently a part of a rap persona.

even when Beyonce chooses to embody her "female rap" alter persona...she gets BRAGGADOCIOUS and arrogant
(see: "BOW DOWN")

when did so many Black people become completely oblivious to or detached from what the rap game is about?

now nicki does have moments when it's like OK girl...calm down a bit

but this was a HORRIBLE comparison. him starting off with this just makes me wanna turn the video off as it makes him immediately seem ill-equipped to really DIG IN to this discussion... but i'll keep watching.

On top of being a rapper, Nicki is also a theater kid so she's naturally more expressive and dramatic than your average.

well we all know Kenny isn't a breadwinner

just some nigga from the hood that Nicki is comfortable with cuz he knew/loved her pre-fame.

this doesn't speak to her personal finances. seems more like a jab at kenny for being a stay-at-home dad.

seems pretty obvious but again, sometimes the obvious must be stated. sfsfsfsf

I think She's ok too. Pretty sure if I saw her bank account I wouldn't be opposed to trading with her

Could be wrong but it's just a hunch

Im gonna assume she's not living check to check and has been smart with her coin

As I personally feel that should be the standard for anyone who's making even just a decent amount of money. No one should be living check to check unless they are forced to.

On top of being a rapper, Nicki is also a theater kid so she's naturally more expressive and dramatic than your average.

Quote from: stillpretty on July 19, 2025, 02:14:43 PMsince this is a nicki thread now (as i assumed it was or would be)

might as well throw this in, as its relevant considering he seems to be making illogical comparisons as well.

"beyonce doesnt brag about her tours selling out, nor does Taylor, why does Nicki?"

Nicki is a RAPPER. being "braggadocious" is inherently a part of a rap persona.

even when Beyonce chooses to embody her "female rap" alter persona...she gets BRAGGADOCIOUS and arrogant
(see: "BOW DOWN")

when did so many Black people become completely oblivious to or detached from what the rap game is about?

now nicki does have moments when it's like OK girl...calm down a bit

but this was a HORRIBLE comparison. him starting off with this just makes me wanna turn the video off as it makes him immediately seem ill-equipped to really DIG IN to this discussion... but i'll keep watching.

Quote from: stillpretty on July 19, 2025, 11:08:08 AMNicki is also the only rapper on the list.

These are her peers but they kinda aren't at the same time.

This is kinda obvious but unfortunately sometimes the obvious must be stated.

Any comparisons to her direct peers would undoubtedly result in her being #1.


!!!

that part . i think who ever did this challenge did it with that in mind.. being a rapper and a female one at that its harder to compete with female singers but like you said.. compare her to her female rap counter parts and she is MILES ahead.

and if Nickis "at the bottom" i'd hate to see where someone like Consuela lands

sfnsjnsfnfsjnsf

she's currently on X crying and saying people are trying to sabotage her rollout. btw

that single is nowhere to be found and now she's just setting up a bunch of excuses for the inevitable

there are parallels

She's at the top of her game like fas and Rihanna are/were.

But those are not her direct peers. This is a fact, not really a matter of opinion

A cat can compare itself to a dog. Yes I'd get the comparison as both are popular beloved pets but they are still two different species of animals.

And so does the world. The point is how y'all try to downplay a superstar because a handful are more popular. Like saying Prince was an irrelevant flop bc Michael was the most popular artist.

Nicki gets thrown into these collages because she's really the first female rapper to reach such an unprecedented and consistent level of popularity that her numbers/status are actually able to compete.

keyword being consistent.
not one amazing debut era, then crying and proactively making excuses on X because she knows the second one is about to tank. lol

A cat can compare itself to a dog. Yes I'd get the comparison as both are popular beloved pets but they are still two different species of animals.
just to add on to this (cuz this actually made me curious to see which species is more popular in households.  and i started researching. )

sfnjsdjndjnsdjnsjnsdsd

Dogs are actually more popular statistically. i was kinda surprised to learn 74% of pet owners in America are dog owners.  i knew it COULD be higher than cats but not by that much. but it makes sense. the whole "man's best friend" thing.

preference due to species in itself is a obviously a strong driver behind this.

Now a more interesting comparison would be which breeds of dogs are "the best".

A dog is completely out of the question for me, no matter how cute and loyal it is. No.
sdsdsdsdsds gimme a kitty. i dont care if it's bitchy and mean. it's a kitty :woohoo:

fas and rih shouldn't even be getting compared to Taylor either but that's a whole nother story.

def another case of "different species". totally different.

They obviously place beneath Taylor in this instance but that doesn't mean they ARE beneath her.

there's a lot wrong with that collage

And this is why introducing context is important.

In my mind nicki is the lowest but idk if that's because I kinda hate her.  I feel like Shakira is someone Americans would say is the lowest but lowkey she's probably smashing this list. 

How do y'all think the ranking would pan out if we did US instead of globally?

I believe most of the women listed are grammy winners. Whoever doesn't have one can be last.
