These album covers are completely different to the rock and indie rock artists album covers. It is clearly shown that their ideologies are completely different. These albums, especially the female artists at the top are all really similar, all showing a close up of their faces, pulling a sexual face that will entice and male audience as well as a female audience.
However I do like the black and white effect used on some of the covers as in my video i do have a lot of black and white scenes so it would fit in well.
I also really like the font that is used on Niki Minaj's 'Automatic'.
Because these are pop artists their look is really important when selling their products and that's because their image is what is used to market them and bring in a large scale audience.
Pharrell's album cover in the bottom right corner supports Laura Mulvey's 'Male gaze Theory'. This is because he has girls included on his album cover who are basically acting as 'objects' to be looked at. Also as a way for him to look more powerful to the audience and to attract a wider male audience because they might feel some jealousy towards him.
