No shade, but from my observation folks didn't
really LATCH onto 'Dele until Amy passed away.

Just sayin...



I would believe that if Amy was a huge seller. But she wasn't.

But why do you think that? Im actually curious.

She was tho. Didn't her last mess go 5x platinum?

But how can you say Adele doesnt deserve to sell her 3 mill, when that's what she SOLD honestly!

No surprise roll out

If it was Bey yall wouldnt say this! Yall would praise. When in reality Beyonce doesnt deserve half her manipulated sales and has TRASH music!

Now this sounds dumb.
Not only is the former false. The latter is too. You just don't personally use.

Surprise! there was no trickery. The girls chose to buy of their own free will.
It was an honest buy just like Adele's was.

It's 3x plat' in the states.
It saw an astronomical increase globally after her death.
before that it was just ok selling wise.

jojo is late

adulle is talented but not talented ENOUGH to do 3.5 million....a lot of black female artists DESTROY her in terms of tone, power, versaility, stage presence, blah blah...

same goes with taylor

generally, blacks have to be way WAY more interesting/talented to get the same success/ recognition

look at iggy...thankfully she's finished but look how terrible and corny she was....and the fact that a lot of you were going up for that mess just because it was 'popular'

lol right aeems like just cuz  its popular everything is justified
mel teas

but whites loved them some iggy  oh hip hop without a skin tone change

I don't know why there's even an argument. Like he told no lies lol!

Just listen to some songs no Urban AC. Some of them would've got a push on Pop, AC, Rhythmic etc. if it was recorded by a white person. That's a fact.

Yall doin the most over this glorified culture vulture

How many of yall acually bought 19  before she became insanely popular?

Fake stans lol
sss
But, the whole point is for an artist to grow as their career progresses

I didn't buy Brandy or Never Say Never

Still haven't to this day

Full Moon was like the first alberm I ever bought, along with Ashanti :dead:

But it wasn't Huge in the US. Whereas 21 is Diamond plus.
(and 25 isn't on any streaming service.)
