Coming in 8th place is....

Britney Spears

Record: 3-7

-Britney could not deliver any wins in the championship round. However, no one can ever take her epic victory over Lady Gaga in the group stage away from her. We had a record breaking 17 votes cast for that battle and it really showed how far a single devoted fan can take their favorite musician.

In 7th place we have...

Katy Perry

Record: 5 - 4 - 1


Katy was one of only two non-#1 seeds to advance into the finals, taking out the internet favorite Beyonce in the process. She could only achieve two Ws in the championship, but one of them randomly came against Madonna, which turned out to be a really big deal in the end. So nothing to be ashamed of here. Let those big balloons out girl, you deserve it.

6th place goes to...

Adele

Record: 4-3-3

For awhile there, Adele looked like she would tie her way to the top, but apparently a few wins along the were necessary. Still, there's nothing wrong with being just as popular as Mariah Carey. Her group was no easy road either, taking out Ed Sheeran and a surprisingly game Shakira.

Have a fifth of place with...

Rihanna

Record: 7-3

Rihanna completely dominated her group: Kesha, Furtado and Bruno Mars never stood a chance. Then she had a huge win over Mariah here in the title round and looked like she could be on her way to victory, but just couldn't get past any of the others in the top four. So while we can't make her feel like she is the only girl in the world, Riri can still walk away with a head up. Maybe by the end of her career she will be able to top the elite.

Fourth place, the top half of the middle, goes too...

Pink

Record: 6-2-2

I'll never forgive KJ for what you all did in the group stage, but Pink definitely held her own in the final group. Her butch haircut and tough-girl attitude nearly took her all the way to the top, and at the very least she reigns above every other modern star.

Gimme a second while I vomit a little...

OK I'm good. Grats to Pink for getting this far, and hopefully your surprisingly huge group of fans continue to be impressed with your work from here on out.

It's time to start the top 3....

Madonna

Record: 6-2-2

Madonna advanced to the finals by the thinnest of margins, needing a double tiebreaker to vanquish our beloved Kelly Clarkson. Once here, she proved herself worth by being the only one to defeat the champ in the entire game. She could very well have been the winner, but the Mariah fans alongside the seventh place Katy Perry fans took her down. She wound up above everybody she has influenced throughout the years though, so there's something to that...

The runner-up....

Mariah Carey

Record: 7-2-1

After thrashing my beloved Carly Rae Jepsen on the very first day on the tourney, Mariah became the favorite in Vegas to take the entire thing. That idea was let go of pretty quickly when she lost an early championship match to the actual winner, but Mariah held strong, defeating everyone else except for Rihanna. She can proudly say she is WOKJ's favorite female singer.

The winner, and still the reigning, defending, undisputed world heavyweight champion of pop music is................


Michael Jackson

Record: 8-1-1

I think everyone will be cool with this one. I mean, jamon. Though it wasn't exactly an easy journey despite the near flawless record. In the first round of the group stage, Michael was down 5-6 to Miss Avril Lavigne, and had our twelfth regular (LE) not joined the game and tied it, the Sk8er Grl could very well have wound up in the final group. Michael shook off that initial disappointment and roared back with a decisive victory of favorite 2-seed Ariana Grande. Mike rode that streak for the next five matchups, falling only to #3 Madonna in the final stage, but since she had suffered two losses by that point it didn't really matter. MJ had this wrapped up from the moment he beat Mariah I think, and only some weird upset would be able to derail the Jackson train. So congrats to the King, it's not the most exciting choice, but it is probably the right one (when removing my own personal biases of course.) See you in 2030, be ready to defend that title!!! Heeee heeee.

Thanks to everyone for participating! I was only expecting five to six votes for every matchup, but we ended averaging about twelve for most of the game. Way better than anyone thought and helped us end in the right place.

Surprised Michael a Jackson won. Really seems like an artist my mom likes moreso than someone who resonates with people today. He’s influential and important, but I rarely go out of my way to listen to him. Most of his songs get a ridiculous amount of play at the grocery store I work at. Man in the Mirror especially.

Well good to know Pink didn't make top 3... lol

MJ, Mariah and Madonna in top 3 sounds about right actually.

Great work Flava on this tournament. :thumbsup:

I would have wanted to see a different Top3 but this was given once the final rounds began. People were mostly ranking based on legacy. Ends rant...

Congrats to MJ, Mariah and Madonna.

Happy Pink got 4th. Top 3 is way too obvious and “correct”. No upsets or surprises at all. Literally just the three most successful pop stars.

You know, I had a similar thought. Michael Jackson songs are everywhere and you'd normally have to hear five a day whether you wanted to or not. Yet that was pre-covid. Going back to old albums over the past month has given me a greater appreciation of him now that I can do it on my own terms. That's the real reason I switched over from Katy to MJ. He didn't start in my top ten, but definitely is there now.

Aside from a push from Mau I think Gaga would have entered the final rounds. Her and Swift would have definitely shaken up the winners.

Mau literally lied and said Lady Gaga sold way less albums than Britney when it’s the other way around. People literally only voted for Britney because Mau made a bunch of crap up about her supposed “influence” none of which could be quantified or proven other than Oops I Did It Again has indeed sold a Diamond certification worth of albums.
