Ariana Grande and Drake. Both were very consistent and released smashes left and right.

Damn Selena Gomez making top ten with a four peak? The true main pop girl also @no Ariana songs here, people truly overrate her success, impact etc Ariana has been huge this year, but I agree that people are starting to overrate her. I've seen people starting to compare her to Mariah Carey and Madonna in terms of impact.

Mariah carey should never be used in the same sentence as Madonna when it comes to success. 2019 will definitely be another huge year for Ariana.

Anyways,it's probably Post Malone and his mediocrity.

Anyways,it's probably Post Malone and his mediocrity. I'm just being truthful. Mariah was never on Madonna's level worldwide. Madonnas tour numbers are nearly unmatched( except by Taylor swift ). There are a series of videos on YouTube that have top 10 WORLDWIDE hits of each year. Mariah only had like 4 songs from 1990 - 2018 that appeared on that chart. None of which reached #1. Madonna has songs on the WORLDWIDE top 10 chart that are from 3 Decades. AND some of them were #1. Let me stop dragging Mariah because she is the 4th best selling female artist behind Madonna, Rihanna, and Celine.

Madonna has never had a massive radio hit. Take A Bow is her longest radio hit with 7 weeks at #1 on the hot 100 and 9 on the airplay. Mariah has had Someday, Dreamlover, Hero, Fantasy, One Sweet Day and We Belong Together with more weeks at the top. Mariah is a producer and songwriter along with being a singer. Madonna has had the impacts but the majority of her hits relied on her music videos. Without those videos many of her hits would not have had quite the same impact.

I’d say Madonna has more memorable hits than Mariah though, all things considered. Mariah has bigger hits though. Neither of whom really belong in a thread about 2018 girls.

Let's not even mention tour numbers.

I think it's hilarious that a thread about the biggest pop stars of 18 contains a Madonna vs. Mariah debate. Which by the way is a ridiculous because they are both legends. Stats can be manipulated however people want. Both of them have their commercial/critical strengths and weaknesses.

Stats can be manipulated however people want. Both of them have their commercial/critical strengths and weaknesses. Its not even a debate tho. Madonna has sold over 100+ million copies more than Mariah Carey. Madonna's tour earnings are MILES ahead of Mariah's. I agree with you tho that they are both legends. I'm just saying that Madonna is really on another level when it comes to success. I love Mariah tho. She was the 2nd best singer in her prime behind Whitney. The only person that can challenge a prime Mariah is Whitney Houston herself.

Where's that stat from? Regardless, Mariah has plenty of her own receipts, like songwriting, and singing circles around Madonna, even now. They really have nothing to do with one another, and their careers are completely different. I don't agree that Madonna is on some "whole other level". She's legendary, and so is Mariah, for different reasons.

By the way, even though I'm not a huge fan, I think it's pretty undeniable that Drake is the biggest pop star of 2018.

We most likely should make a Madonna vs Mariah Carey thread separately from this thread so that it won't derail the topic.

She's legendary, and so is Mariah, for different reasons. It is common knowledge that Mariah has sold around 200 million records. Madonna has sold over 300 million records. Also Madonna is a pop icon and still has the best selling tours 3 decades into her career. Mariah can't relate.

Madonna is still WAAAAYY more iconic tho. Madonna crushes Mariah on a Worldwide level no offence. Think of this like the Gucci Christina vs Britney. Mariah is Christina with the amazing voice. Madonna is Britney with the iconic hits and tours.

There reaches a point when you've become such a big name that it doesn't really matter who's bigger overall because they're both shitting gold. Ironically, the only people who probably care about this sort of thing are Madonna and Mariah themselves...
