Beyonce being the most popular seems completely reasonable. You're a RH fanboy i get it.

Are you implying Beyonce isn't massively more popular than Radiohead?

She is one of the best and biggest mainstream artists currently. Is anyone arguing Radiohead are, or have ever been a huge mainstream act in the same way?

Re: SE FAQ, Liveblog, Foodblog, ArrestedDevelopmentBlog and Forum Discussion
Even w/ LolEuroes, it's ABBA. I mean, fine, whatever, but 4th on that list is amazingly prestigious. She's ahead of Madonna, Elton John, Mariah Carey,... I mean, if you polled 100 people that weren't affiliated with this sort of thing, how many would actually think ABBA has sold more records?

isn't being mainstream pretty much a requirement for being extremely popular?

Unless there's some strange alternate definition of "popular" that I don't know about, my response is as follows:
wat.

She's been pretty popular too, and had a surprisingly sustained career for what's supposed to be teen throwaway pop... so I'm not sure what your point is.
