To be fair though, the R&B artists from 20 years ago are barely relevant today. So her demise was inevitable.
Some are and some aren't, but, i don't think her album sales are a sign of irrelevancy either. She's made her mark and the word "Irrelevant" needs to start being used for the girls that have never done shit and don't contribute in any way to the industry. Not Black Artists like Alicia Keys or most of our faves. I disagree but i don't wanna grasp at straws or go back n forth on the meaning of that particular word and it's definition either. You're right about sales decline being inevitable as it's down for pretty much everyone. Without streams, everybody would be sittin LOW outside of Drake, Adele and maybe 5-7 more Artists.
There's no parity in the industry and with that being the case, there's no way we can say the other thousands of Artists are irrelevant. Couldn't be IMO
