Blue Monday Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) QUEEN honestly her rise has been so cool to watch in real time. I never thought she'd be dominating like this with all of the delays and setbacks, but it's great that the music has spoken for itself in spite of that. Edited February 10, 2023 by Blue Monday
