Whitney was a TRUE phenomenon. Just shocked the world naturally with raw talent. She owns some of the most impacting and REAL records you can think about which show her almost unprecedented success. Biggest debut album of all time (female or male), biggest era for a female of all time, first woman (white or black) to ever debut at #1 with an album... and so on. Nowadays records we hear about regarding Rihanna and the lieks are pure jokes, only based on hot100 entries due to every single being able to enter the chart and streaming. But real success, respect, real album SALES are nowhere to be seen. Adele is one of the very few (not comparable to Whitney either).
