I'm trying to name the most popular artist and album with each decade from the 50s to the 2010s til now
i think im close? i have no idea
>>65181265
2010s should be taylor swift
>>65181265
2000s feels like it should be someone else but I can't think of who. Maybe Britney Spears?
>>65181373
Arctic Monkeys
70s should be Led Zeppelin and you know it
>>65181320
Seconding this
>>65181373
Better choices: Eminem, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Fall out Boy, Lil Wayne, and a lot of others who were more popular than Daft Punk.
>>65181265
2000s should be Eminem, 2010s should be Adele
>>65181399
Do you actually think Arctic monkeys are The Beatles or Michael Jackson or Elvis of their decade?
>>65181265
50's Elvis Presley
60's The Beatles
70's The Beatles
80's Michael Jackson
90's Madonna
2000's Drake
2010's Drake
Drake run started with "Best I ever Had" in 2009, its 7 years. GOAT.
looks the
2020's and
2030's belongs to Drake too.
>Nirvana
There's about 8 other albums in the 90s that sold more
>>65181507
I don't know, DSOTM is the second best selling album of all time after all.
>>65182094
the beatles didn't make an album in the 70's though.
>Let it be
doesn't count, was recorded much earlier.
I'd probably go with Led Zeppelin desu
>>65182094
>2000's Drake
>2010's Drake
Are you daft? 10's probably belong to Adele, 00's Beyonce.
>>65181688
I think Daft Punk is fair because they really shaped he sound of that decade.
>>65182561
No they didn't. Compare that to Eminem who was in the early 2000s the spearhead of Dre's label with Hiphop becoming this massive mainstream force.
Electronic music has only this decade become a force like this.
>>65181265
Change Discovery to Marshall Mathers LP. Hip hop was much more popular in the 2000s and Eminem was to it in the early 2000s what Nirvana was to rock/grunge in the early 90s.
Change MBDTF to 21. Not only is it by far the best selling album of the 2010s or anything released post 2000s, a lot of the more mainstream critics love her, too.
MBDTF is more the Kid A to the 2010s rather than the big popular artist.
>>65182912
kanye west has sold more than adele and shapes the culture, twisted fantasy is the sgt pepper of hip hop/rap
>>65182912
>Electronic music has only this decade become a force like this.
I can remember being alive then and electronic music was everywhere
>>65184750
if that analogy is the case, its still not as good and heavily overrated
>>65181320
Not in europe,we dont give a shit
ITT NOBODY WHO KNOWS SHIT ABOUT MUSIC
HERE'S HOW IT GOES
50'S = STOCKHAUSEN
60'S = BRIAN WILSON AND/OR JOHN LENNON
70'S = BRIAN ENO
80'S = GLENN BRANCA AND/OR DAVID BYRNE
90'S = KEVIN SHIELDS AND/OR RICHARD D. JAMES
00'S = NOAH LENNOX AND/OR ARIEL PINK
10'S = DANIEL LOPATIN
>>65181265
honestly it seems pretty good to me
>>65184929
>the most popular artist and album
>>65182319
yea and after a while really Pearl Jam sold more until Kurt died
>>65184984
>>65185145
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE MOST POPULAR ARTISTS AND ALBUMS, WHAT MATTERS ARE THE BEST AND MOST IMPORTANT

Nowhere near compared to hip hop though. All the chart toppers were hip hop at the time. The fashion approach big among normies was coming from hip hop. Electronic music always had its relative mainstream audience back then whether it was Tiesto or Armin, but they weren't bigger than hip hop. Nor were they anything like the mainstream force EDM has become this decade.
>>65184750
False. Adele has at this point sold more than Kanye ever did. Hell, 21 on its own has sold more than most of Kanye's discography put together.

>Hell, 21 on its own has sold more than most of Kanye's discography put together.
Garth Brooks has sold more than Nirvana, I guess OP's looking for the middle point between sales and influence per decade.
>>65185976
Yeah, and to the mainstream Adele is to the Taylor Swifts, Lady Gagas, and Katy Perrys of the world what Nirvana was to hair metal in their time.
