Dear @beyknight I know nowadays those numbers are almost impossible but I´m not talking about numbers. The impact is the impact. If sales were like they were 10 years ago then Adele and her "21" would end at 25 million copies sold like only those 4 I mentioned did in the past. The Fame would have too. But definitely none of Rihanna or Beyonce albums have charted the way Adele has in every fucking country. I stand by what I have said. Do you really think any of Rihanna or Bey albums have had the stunning impact in every corner of the globe The Bodyguard, My heart will go on or Music Box had???? And I mean every corner, not USA, UK, Europe, Japan and Brazil. I mean everywhere!!! Of course thriller is one of the biggest examples but we are talking about females. The charts are the charts and people´s recognition too. Sales can´t be compared but the charts and the impact can. And they can´t stand a chance. We´ll see if Gaga does it again? Ok we´ll see. But I never said nothing about repeating. I said "at least once in their careers", meaning with at least one album. Sales are mediocre compared to 8 years ago (2003) but Adele has managed to outsell already by a considerable margin Dangerously in Love (Beyonce´s best selling album, which was released in 2003) Merry Xmas anyway. You are among my favorites here on TGJ, too much Beyonce for my taste but for the rest part you usually put bitches in their place and know what talent and non talent is :)
