Popular Post Cruel Summer Posted April 28 Popular Post Posted April 28 1 minute ago, Kavish said: Reminder that she is 18 years into her career and this is her 11th studio album. Her career trajectory is both an anomaly and an impressive feat to witness. Absolutely insane. Yeah, a lot of the records she's starting to break lately are because of this, too. Nobody has been this big this far into their career before unless you count the child star years of Michael Jackson, and even then… like there's virtually no precedent for what she's doing 20
MidnightsAtPeace Posted April 28 Posted April 28 This legend once again proves that she's the biggest living artist right now, the most influential and successful artist of the 21st century, and among some of the biggest artists this world has witnessed. She is not a typical pop girly, she's a legend. 4 1

Interesting that the smallest % increase vs. Midnights was vinyls. Edited April 28 by fridayteenage 2 1
byzantium Posted April 28 Posted April 28 This is so unprecedented! She is reaching these heights 16 years after releasing a diamond record.

I've always thought of him mostly as Beyoncé's man
