Also, Beyonce stepping outside of her typical sound isn't following Adele. You can make pop music and make it your own. Who said 2x platinum was bad? It was stated that her stature, hype & megastar appeal should garner her at least 3 million units in terms of album sales in the US. Don't misinterpret stuff. Y'all are just bitter that there are other artists out there that are & can outsell her, no matter the genre.
