Red Xl Exerciser

Paul Taylor: Is this a watershed in the way pop sells itself?

But for the nation going gaga for Lady Gaga, Adele would no doubt still be top of the UK album chart.

As it is, the Londoner’s albums, 21 and 19, are at two and three respectively in the chart. What with a stellar showing in the USA too, Adele is, according to the Music Power 100 poll, now the most powerful person in the British music industry.

More than that, though, Adele may change the way women are seen in that industry. So says Richard Russell, founder of XL, Adele’s record company.

Her success is about music and nothing else, says Russell – no gimmicks, no "selling of sexuality". And Russell pronounces himself "queasy" at the "faux porn" imagery used even in top ten hits by other female artists.

It’s a difficult argument to make, to demand pop with less sex. What red-blooded male would want to deny Christina Aguilera the right to exercise her art while wearing as little clothing as possible?

But if you sit gazing at any one of several mainstream music channels, the impression left is that many female singers have borrowed their skills from lap dancers. Meanwhile, the women dancers in videos by male artists, particularly hip hop stars, tend to be soft porn window dressing, pure and simple.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me," sang Rihanna on S&M, adding bondage and fetishism in the equation. Madonna must bear some blame for this. In 1992, she released a book called Sex, a companion piece to her Erotica album, which featured nude photographs of herself simulating sex acts.

Throughout her career, Madonna has been defined not just by her music but by images of thrusting sexuality, from the conical bra to the desperate "I’m still really bendy!" flaunting of her sinewy butt in 2005’s Hung Up.

In 2003, Madonna kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage at the MTV awards.

Was this a genuine statement of sexual liberation? Or was it a calculated business ploy which equated sensation and sexual frisson with column inches and record sales?

How much less, in hard cash, would Beyonce be worth had she not perfected that booty wiggle? And where would Kylie have been without those gold hot pants? A whole career revived by the packaging for a pair of pert buttocks.

Sooner or later, the business imperative for popular music with a side order of sex appeal begins to warp the music itself, and you end up with Fergie from Black Eyed Peas singing about "my lovely lady lumps".
