Pop stars. There is literally a cult based off Beyonce. You don't hear that type of stuff with actors.

I would say pop stars because a movie could be trash and it wouldn't necessarily be their fault. Movies have a lot more moving parts and less control is allotted to the star of the film compared to the star of their own album.

Also consider how many films an actor has to do to reach that point vs a pop legend having 5-10 albums over their life.

Pop stars influence culture more than movie stars. So it’s definitely them.

I would also put Marilyn Monroe in the pop star category. You can see her influence from Madonna all the way down to Beyoncé.

Pop star by far

Pop stars. They get to move in a way more true to themselves. They really aren't beholden to the same standards a movie star or an athlete is. Movie stars still are employees at the end of the day.

I don't know about this. Pop stars have to build an image that people identify with them. Movie stars play a role and people understand that role lasts 2 hours.

 

[Skip2]

I would say pop stars, but most pop stars are relevant for 3-5 years. There are a lot more movie stars that stay relevant for decades.
