## Resource

What actually makes a pop star?Because becoming an artist isn’t just about hits.It’s about narrative, image, influence, longevity, and cultural impact.I've been loving this "7 levels of" trend on Youtube so I thought it would be fun to do my own take on it!In this video, I break down the 7 levels of pop stardom — from emerging artists to global icons — and how each stage reflects a different relationship between music, identity, and culture.Some of the artists we talk about in today's video: Zara Larsson, Pink Pantheress, Addison Rae, Katy Perry, Charlie Puth, Troye Sivan, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Tyler the Creator, Harry Styles, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and more! #musicreview #zaralarsson #beyonce #ladygaga #billieeilish
