We can't judge anything by what we see now. We have to wait how everything turns out. There's probably artists right now who we ignore that will considered the definitive artist of this decade.

Like did you know Nirvana wasn't considered to be that great of a band. But 20 years later we recognize their sound as changing the sound of music for the next 20 years.

Adele and Taylor keep selling albums.

Katy Perry and Rihanna keep getting hits. Gaga keeps getting acclaim. Britney keeps being the Princess of Pop. Selena keeps getting bigger.

... basically everything will remain the same, I don't get the point of this thread.

Fade?!? Beyonce isn't going anywhere. That foundation is solid. The era of the mega superstar ended with Beyonce's generation( JT, Britney, Pink,Xtina, Pink & Usher). Her generation preceded the 80s mega superstars They had privileged of growing up listening and being inspired by them. The current generation is doomed. Nobody wants to putting in the work to perfect their craft. It's now all about instant fame.

By the time Bey fades, most of those artists will be on their way out as well.

Because of the trail Madonna paved ageism isn't going to affect Bey the way it did other pop stars. She's still beautiful and people still aspire to be her so as long as that continues it'll be awhile before she fades.

Beyond that.. I don't know what will happen. Maybe we are all getting older but no one is that exciting to care about anymore.
