No one is denying her numbers but thats not all that matters
Does this woman have any live performance better than anything that M peformed between 1987-1994...
Does she have any music video that is artistically closer to Vogue or Like A Prayer?
Exactly all you are talking is numbers and records who are naturally broken as the music market evolved.
Back in 2006 only Madonna and U2 charged more than 300 per ticket but now Charlie xcx can charge that.
Im sure Drake also surpassed MJ in terms of charts. Its not the same for every artist. Its easier nowadays with streaming and algorithms the rules are different you are alble to chart with non singles etc. The way charts and sucess is measured is not the same.
You cant compare how music is consumed now.
Nobody was counting how many times someone you play the Like Prayer LP but with streaming every play counts so each fan easily plays an album worth if streams every 2/3 weeks.
The touring industry is at its peak post Covid and her Tour is huge for the most basic people on earth and young girls. Nowadays anyone can buy a ticket online wether even during the S&S days ticketmaster wasnt as reliable + inlfation all concerts are double/triple the price of 10/15 years ago
She will keep doing tracks like Vulgar for a while to satisfy her music needs. Now as a full new album its too much time consuming, she seems to want things instant now
She looked good in 2008 but somehow not like herself. I cant pin point but the structure of her face somehow changed back then lol still gorgeous though
+ her facelift scars prior confessions
