Called the "King of Pop", his contributions to music, dance, and fashion along with his publicised personal life made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.]]> 2017-04-23 14:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684128 151288r https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684320 Jackson's album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. Jackson's other albums, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling albums. He is recognised as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time by Guinness World Records. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Dance Hall of Fame as the only dancer from pop and rock music.]]> 2017-04-23 14:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684320 151288r https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684444 Madonna Louise Ciccone (/tʃɪˈkoʊni/; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She achieved popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Madonna is known for reinventing both her music and image, and for maintaining her autonomy within the recording industry.]]> 2017-04-23 14:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684444 151288r https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684592 1) Artists are still mimicking his style 
Even before he died, Jackson spawned a plethora of imitators. One could argue that the history of pop music could be divided in two parts: Before MJ and After MJ. It’s not enough to just be a good singer anymore. For better of worse, Jackson’s vocal range, dancing ability, fashion sense and ability to create media “moments” has now become par for the course for any star who wants to remain relevant, including Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyoncé. 
2) He remains one of the best selling artists of all time 
To this day, Jackson’s Grammy-winning blockbuster “Thriller” remains the best-selling album of all time, but many of his other solo masterpieces aren’t far behind. Shortly after his death six years ago, Jackson surpassed the likes of Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix to become the best-selling posthumous artist of all time. And thanks to the proliferation of Jackson content online, in films and even Cirque de Soleil shows – his discography is not going away anytime soon.]]> 2017-04-23 14:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684592 151288r https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167684858 Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide. The Guinness World Records acknowledged her as the best-selling female recording artist and the fourth best-selling act of all time, behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.  According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century and the second top-selling female albums artist in the United States, with 64.5 million certified albums.

One of her best year’s for earnings was between June 2012 and June 2013. During those 12 months the superstar was paid around £82million – the highest annual earnings ever for a female pop star!
2) She has released a total of 13 studio albums
Of course it is not just studio albums the global icon has recorded, she has also released four live albums, six compilation albums, and three remix albums, as well as 11 EPs, three soundtrack albums and 21 box sets!

An example would be from the current pop music we have from artist like Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande to pop artists in the past such as Stephen Foster. Current pop music might not even be classified as pop music back then. What makes it more complicated is that the word "pop" stands for popular music. Thus, it can vary throughout generation as it depends on what type of music is trending at that time. ]]> 2017-04-23 15:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167685462 151288r https://padlet.com/151288r/kehtikqh1dli/wish/167686025 American Pop music has been used to advocate various ideologies such as Feminism and Racism.
FEMENISM

• ARIANA GRANDE
  • Start what I finished
    Don't need no hold up
    Taking control of this kind of moment
    I'm locked and loaded
    Completely focused, my mind is open
  • This showcases the danger Grande feels when discussing topics pertaining to sex
  • Ariana Grande said, If a woman talks about sex openly… she is shamed! But if a man talks or RAPS freely about all the women (or more commonly used “bitches” / hoes” … how lovely) he’s had… he is regaled. The double standard and misogyny are still ever present. I can’t wait to live in a world where people are not valued by who they’re dating / married to / attached to, having sex with (or not) / seen with… but by who they are as an individual.
