25 isn’t just an album—it’s so much more than that. It’s the rare moment in pop culture that grabs the entire populous, and which forces everybody to pay attention. The release of the pop superstar’s follow up to the global phenomenon that was 21 is music’s equivalent to the series finale of TV’s most popular program, or opening weekend for the year’s biggest blockbuster movie: you’ll surely be chastised by family and friends in school or by the watercooler if you haven’t at least heard it. Not owning a copy of 25 is to be uninformed and out of the know, and she’s ensured that if you want to experience the album, you’re going to have to buy it.
Am not getting it.
