google news headline results
kreayshawn: 434
WILD BEASTS: 309
bon iver: 505
arcade fire: 934
lady gaga: 11,400

anyways don't think the gaga comp is fair - kreayshawn and gaga exist in different universes entirely. but considering she's in the same headline territory as bon iver, a household name among p4k people, and not too far behind ~~GRAMMY WINNERS~~ arcade fire, i'd say that's "stardom" to some degree.

dwarf stardom

wonder who is a neutron star

Jo Calderone

lol that ppl keep caps locking WILD BEASTS

can we make that an autoreplace

Adolf Hitler

Joseph Stalin

Pol Pot
About 4,500,000 results (0.10 seconds)

Mao Zedong/Tse-Tung
About 3,890,000 results (0.12 seconds)

and yet mao killed so many more people! this system is rigged.

they were chinese iirc

i actually have friends who are chinese

My thread derail idea worked pretty well!

i actually ate a dinner that was chinese

fennel what is a google news headline result & how does it differ from a google news result? also have u heard of google news archive searches?

it's just google news and i wanted to emphasize that it was the amount of headlines so and so artist was making, that's all. also haven't heard of news archive searches

ok well rest assured kreayshawn isn't in bon iver territory

i was pretty much just talking about how she was on the mtv video awards \oO/

shes certainly a star relative to uffie which was the context we were talking about

comparing her to lady gaga is like, of course shes not on that level ... who is, lil wayne?

irl mainstreamers i know have heard of her. its not rlly that much of a leap to suggest shes mildly famous

& certainly compared to uffie

I have seen twentysomethings in my world of young people get excited and rap along when Gucci Gucci is an "identify this song" audio clue at pub trivia

a household name among p4k people

good to know that in between fielding those phone calls from Kreayshawn, yr flying across the planet to scope out the browser histories of strangers, while they're at uni or refugee crisis centres or selling cupcakes in the QVB

a household name among p4k people

pfork didnt even cover her. MAINSTREAMERS bro

i was just reposting for the mixed metaphor of something being a "household name" even though it refers to a very select and small group of households, most of which probably dont own houses

haha

ok but u could say that bon iver (original "p4k household name") has probably already crossed over to the homeowning adult contemporary crowd. so many progressive adults responsibly bumpin it on their ecofriendly commute. do modern progressive adults own houses or condos btw?

also in interests of extreme accuracy lets just say that kreayshawn is a highly bloggable name in the nascent genre of tumblr rap

i really don't know if starbucks is a good metric, they sell tons of shit no one has ever heard of in there

that said, they did have bon iver up at the registers right next to beyonce in its first week

fennel cartwright

dats me

i like the name ; )

Bon Iver album was #2 on the charts.

Here, too - held off by Adele.
