Pop stars, 00's

Eminem, Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Nikki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Jay Z, Kanye West, Drake, Adele

There are no big rock acts that are popular or R&B or soul compared to the other decades currently. All these female pop stars market the same thing except for Adele maybe Gaga and Taylor Swift. If these above stars existed in the 80's or 90's they would not be as popular because it would be more competition.
