This reeks of fraud. Disregard any article claiming that Stefani is the most popular celebrity of all time based on information from the website Starcount.com. Various media outlets are falsely making this fraudulent claim.
Starcount has named the most popular stars based on social media and fan votes. Therefore Stefani has been voted most popular Social Star.
Why are the media claims false? Firstly, how can someone who's been around a mere four years be named the most popular celebrity of all time? Those three words.......Of All Time.
Of All Time suggests, well, of all time. As far back as we can go in popular culture. Are these media outlets trying to suggest that Lady Gaga is more popular than The Beatles? Elvis? Michael Jackson? Led Zeppelin?
Just like Starcount says, she's been named No.1 based on SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT CHARTS. Most of the best acts of all time made it before social media.
Check this out.
This is just the top 20 of most popular music acts of all time. If you want to see the entire list, click right HERE. The list goes up to 1000. Lady Gaga is not on the list. Granted it spans from 1948 - 2009 and she didn't find huge fame until 2010. Once the list is updated, she'll likely appear on it however it's very doubtful she would be No.1. Especially when you compare how long the rest have been around and how many albums they've released. There is no comparison.
For these media outlets to wrongly claim that Stefani is the most popular artist of all time is an insult to all the hard work all these acts have done, whether you like them or not.
Then we have the Best Albums of 2011 Mega-Critic chart. This chart presents the best albums based from critic's ratings. The critics are from:
USA: All Music Guide; AV Club; Coke Machine Glow; One Thirty
BPM; Pitchfork Media, Pop Matters, Rolling Stone, Slant, Spin,
Tiny Mix Tapes
UK: Drowned In Sound, The Guardian, Music OMH, NME, No Ripcord
EUR: Gaffa; Humo; Je'nesais Pop; Mondo Sonoro; No jes guiden; Plattentests; Playground Mag; Sentire Ascoltare; Storia Della Musica
Guess who's not on the list? You got it, Lady Gaga's Born This Way. Shocking.
So why does the media kiss Gaga's ass at every chance they get? Good question. I haven't a clue. They all sing her praises and refuse to call her out on her alleged lies, alleged thievery and hypocrisy.
Even Perez Hilton's turned against his wifey. Then again, was their friendship ever genuine? Doubtful. Perez Hilton is an opportunist like so many in the entertainment biz. Any artist he crowns his wifey is the one writing him the highest paycheck.
So before you go blind from trying to see through the fraudulent Gaga stars in your eyes, do your education and see that there are so many, past and present, who trump her in more ways than one.
Gaga is like the the Spice Girls of this era. They didn't last too long either.
Guess what stinks less than Lady Gaga? This!!
