Still: Our goal here was to crown the current tiara-wearer. And the hard-working, culture-dominating Gaga more than earned the title. Maybe a year from now, after 4 has spun off a year of radio, digital and video hits, Lady G and Honey B will be more evenly matched, tugging on either end of the Queen of Pop scepter like the demigods they are.

With how big Lady Gaga has become this really isn't a surprise; good for her nevertheless though. Reading about this reminds of how no one will ever take the crown of "King of Pop" from MJ haha.

I don't believe she's done what madonna has done, but has had an impact on the music industry similar to what MJ had on the industry during thriller..

Madonna's music is very deep, the non "hits", she shouldn't be thrown off so easily like that, gaga should take the title "queen of dance", or "lady of pop", she's still growing, but madonna's music is just so large and diverse, that it's hard to just throw her off.

This article is based on 2009-2011 trends, gaga began to erupt in 2008, and changed pop music with the song "Just Dance", everyone started doing "dance" influenced tracks after that song

Is this surprising, though I don't like at all (lol) it does make sense since she revolutionized the mainstream media.

Queen of Poop, more like.

What? She's has her own media empire too? Is she also a journalist in her spare time?

Justin Timberlake imo although MJ is also a very good choice and more people would probably agree with you.  I just wish JT would record a new album.

uggg ANYBODY but taylor swift please.

gaga keeps it interesting even tho her new album is not as good as her 1st

No, but she practically defined the mainstream media of music.

Would you elaborate more on that please?
