MingYouToo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 - When Destiny's Child first entered the charts with No, No, No (Part 1), Elton John was ruling the charts. - When Billie Eilish was born, Destiny's Child's Emotion was sitting at #14 on the Hot 100 - When Olivia Rodrigo was born, Beyonce (and her now husband) were sitting at #10 on the Hot 100 -When Rihanna first entered the charts with Pon de Replay (#97), Destiny's Child had two singles charting. - When Taylor Swift first entered the charts with Tim McGraw (#85) Beyonce was sitting at #12 w/ Ring the Alarm. - When Kathryn Hudson released Katy Hudson, Destiny's Child's 11 week #1 Independent Women was #10 - When Kathryn Hudson became Katy Perry and debuted on the Hot 100 with I Kissed A Girl, Beyonce was #63! - When Lady Gaga first entered the Hot 100 Top 10 with Just Dance, Beyonce ruled at #2 and #3! I think its funny how recency bias is affecting 99% of ATRL, completely forgetting that Beyonce is a whole ass generation before Taylor, Gaga, Katy, Rih and all these other popgirls... And yet Here she still stands, 25 years later, fighting for a SOLO, GLOBAL #1 The consistency Beyonce has offered the world through decades is unparalleled, constant smashery, celebrity presence on POINT, name never out of peoples mouths, still that *****, is that ***** will FOREVER be that *****! How does she do it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrudenceHCharmed Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I really feel sorry for people who hated her during DC and claimed she's over during B'day and 4. It must be 25 years of sufferings waiting for her downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyonce_runthis Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Let’s emphasize that this woman was successful through the physical, digital and streaming era. The industry has changed music consumptions quicker from 1999-2019 than from 1980-2000. WHEW. Truly THEE pop legend of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LustSpell Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) A legitimate legend. When people mention modern day legend, I think of HER and no one else. The way I remember watching the Crazy in Love video as a kid and losing my **** at that green dress scene on MTV.

Slap Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The way people on here forget or don’t even know about the Destiny’s Child portion her career is insane, like even that alone was legendary. Glad to see her succeeding so far into her career I was watching the Independent Women video the other week in anticipation of the new album and it was such a slay.

bijonse Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 my mom had the love: destiny’s child cd with the multicolored album art and i remember whenever bootylicious would come on the radio she would tell me i can’t sing it bc the lyrics are inappropriate. queen of controversy no because i remember crazy in love and baby boy coming out and watching the videos like this ***** is really unparalleled, ppl are so dumb to compare her to others who debuted like 10 years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) What I find most impressive about the longevity of her career is that in the 2010s she was able to find a way to maintain impact/relevance/popularity without necessarily relying on pop smashes to define and disseminate her art/message. Instead, she focused on the quality of her art vs. the quantitative measurements of its success, and in doing so fast-tracked her legendhood which probably would've come anyway in a decade or so, but was cemented in real-time with her back-to-back-to-back acclaimed, forward-thinking, beloved and expertly created projects.

Lets see Shakira do it solo. She’s been tagging a long with younger and hotter artists for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
