Congrats to T-Swift on her 4th #1 hit and her 3rd from '89. Also congrats to Kendrick Lamar on earning his first #1 hit!

Girl has three one million plus debuts, a huge tour, event videos, each of her albums over 4 million. The Hot 100 isn't the only measure of success.

Success on charts also isn't the only reason we still talk about Michael Jackson though and neither Katy nor Taylor have hit areas that Michael did. Which is fine, really. They can just be Katy and Taylor and not the "new Michael"

Need I also remind y'all the Hot 100 shows who and what's the most POPULAR, not always the most TALENTED and TRULY GREAT artists out there in the music industry.

I like Katy because I connect. Simple as that. Yea Taylor has sales and streaming and I guess touring. But if you will, show me a greatest artists of all time lists and show me where Taylor is. Does she even rank in the Top 200? What has Taylor done to change things? Is anything groundbreaking? Has she come up with a new sound? New image? New fashion? New anything? How can she possibly be related to MJ? I don't see people risking their lives to see Taylor Swift in concert. I know I know, Taylor Swift is SUPER successful. More than Katy. But really, in the grand scheme of things, she isn't anythjng more than the girl next door who writes relatable lyrics and makes catchy songs. That doesn't put you on an ultimate LEGEND's status. But show me those all-time lists. I'd like to see them.

It shows one area of popularity but it isn't THE only indicator of it. It complements other charts like the album chart and even the social 50, which if I remember correctly, is a measurement of the most talked-about artists in a particular week and, as a chart, I think it is more valuable than people might credit it for. With that said, Taylor is more popular now than ever and she has always been popular since her first album but she seems to have overcome a lot of the criticisms that faced her before she went completely pop so she is to be commended. I wouldn't compare her (or anyone) to Michael Jackson but I do think she'll reach a point where people will be comparing artists to her one day. But really, in the grand scheme of things, she isn't anythjng more than the girl next door who writes relatable lyrics and makes catchy songs. That doesn't put you on an ultimate LEGEND's status. At the very least, she deserves credit for being so successful as a girl-next-door with relatable song lyrics. It seems so easy, yet why aren't all of our female neighbours famous for being teenagers?

But to compare her to Michael Jackson is just insanity. She hasn't done anything to warrent such fandome, despite huge sales. Nobody dresses up as Taylor Swift during Halloween. As for "this" generation", I'd put Lady Gaga above her.

I finished watching the BBMAs tonight and I thought about how far Taylor has come and seriously how now I consider her and Lady Gaga as the best Pop artists of this generation. Taylor is now the top pop artist, but she's been in a continued unstoppable ascension since she started her career--and that takes much more than coming and exploding out of the blue for 1-2 eras. It's quite remarkable! It's a great story and I'm quite happy for her. Today my iPhone also played a couple of songs off 1989 I hadn't heard yet and I'm thinking this is one of those albums full of strong catchy pop material. My best memory of such type of album is curiously Come on Over, which last year I uploaded to my iPhone. I tried to select only those songs I really really like and barely took out 3 I'm wondering if I should see her live....

As for "this" generation", I'd put Lady Gaga above her. That's a tough call. As much as I love Gaga and as much as I can take or leave Taylor, Taylor's success is probably the most impressive of this generation. Her sustained huge single/album sales and concert sales for so long are just insane. But then you have the whole pop culture facet, and I feel like Taylor made next to no impact in that category before this era, and even this era I'd say her pop culture impact has been just moderate. Gaga is for sure still the queen of this gen in that department. No one has topped her '09-'11 pop culture impact since. And the last person before that to have that kind of pop culture impact was Britney in the '98-'01 years. Going back to Taylor vs. MJ, that's always going to be a stupid comparison for someone to make unless you're comparing MJ to Elvis and/or The Beatles. They are the only 3 artists in music history to have that level of stardom and success.

Two years ago I posted some comments made online by Katy fans comparing Katy Perry success and status to Michael. I later found out the entire page was a satire. Two years later and here we are! I luv you all.

I hate the song but this idea wouldn't leave me alone, so hai mash-up remix~
For the instrumental part I used the Tony Moran O-Positive Dub of 'Blood On The Dancefloor' by Michael Jackson (heh, funny given recent discussion...) It has hints of vocal from Michael/the original remix but I managed to pick out enough (mostly) instrumental parts to make a bed for the 'Bad Blood' vocals.

Taylor Swift, Marketing Genius: How "Bad Blood" Went Right To Number One Yesterday, it was announced that Taylor Swift had secured herself another number one—her third from her most recent album, 1989, and the fourth of her career. Hitting the top spot is always an impressive feat, but Taylor’s achievement is truly something, considering the genius of the marketing strategy behind its meteoric rise and the short time it took to hit the summit (less than two weeks). There were several parts to her plan, and she combined them all and pulled the entire thing off flawlessly. The Hottest Name in Hip-Hop Big fans of the former country singer already knew “Bad Blood”, as they’ve likely bought a copy of 1989 by now, but Swift changed things up for the single version by adding several rap verses by Kendrick Lamar, one of the biggest talents in hip-hop today. Not only will this likely persuade people to buy the single—even if they already own the album—but it opens the song up to an audience that might not be currently listening to her new music. Putting Kendrick on the track means it has a chance of being played on hip-hop radio, one of the few worlds left for her to conquer. \ The Coolest Girls in School Taylor has always made funny, endearing videos that go viral and help propel her singles further up the charts—the clips for “Shake It Off”, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, “You Belong With Me”, and “Blank Space” are all good examples—but this time around, she switched things up, and it made people pay attention. “Bad Blood” was an action-packed epic, and a major production by anyone’s standards. As if the special effect explosions and sexy costumes weren’t enough, Taylor recruited many of her female friends to co-star in the video, and she made sure to surround herself with women who had powerful names. Three groups of celebrities joined in the fun: musicians (Hayley Williams of Paramore, Ellie Goulding, and Selena Gomez), world-famous models (Cara Delevigne, Karlie Kloss, and Cindy Crawford) and actors (Mariska Hargitay, Ellen Pompeo, and Jessica Alba) all came together to bring more star power to this music video than most summer blockbusters. An Aggressive Social Lead Up With her friends on board, Taylor increased her social reach several times over…and her following is already massive. Swift and the other women teased cameo after cameo, with each one sharing what was essentially a movie poster with their respective character on Instagram. This process took weeks to complete, as there are over a dozen famous faces in the video. Each reveal prompted a new wave of stories in the media and a frenzy on social media, and with each tease, anticipation grew. A High-Profile Video Release Taylor Swift is at a level of fame where no matter how or when she releases a music video, it will receive tens of millions of views. She’s past worrying about that, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t going to try to secure the largest audience possible. The Billboard Music Awards was the perfect opportunity for Taylor to premiere her latest masterpiece, and the producers behind the ceremony knew that as well. The show opened with her clip, and from there it took on a life of its own. Putting all this renewed effort into this specific single is smart timing, as it comes a bit later in the album’s campaign. By now, 1989 has already sold millions of copies, and it was beginning to work its way down the charts (though it never left the top ten). Making this big of a splash for the fourth single will breathe new life into the album, which likely still has a long way to go before we’ve heard the last of it. How many artists can say that their album is sitting at number two on the charts seven months after it was released? With this latest coup, Taylor and her team have yet again shown themselves to be the best in the music marketing world. www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2015/05/28/taylor-swift-marketing-genius-how-bad-blood-went-right-to-number-one/2/

Was home in Southern California this weekend, only heard KIIS play the original. Now I'm back at school and the local radio station is also only playing the original. What's the issue? I would think with the way the remix is selling (and it seems to be stabilizing on iTunes) that radio stations would want to play it over the album version. I'm actually surprised that my local radio station is playing the remix. A few years ago, they use to advertise that they were "rap-less" and would edit a rap feature out of a song completely. Maybe it will change if a bunch of older people complain.. But I hope not as I much prefer the remix. Now I've heard the original version twice on my local station this morning. Hoping they will at least play both versions going forward, but I'm thinking they may have gotten complaints about the Kendrick version. They might just play the original during work hours, idk.

Darn it, mine too. The awkward part is on their website it lists "Taylor Swift: Bad Blood" but uses the artwork that says Feat. Kendrick Lamar.
