Brinny has been forgotten since 2008, you have to be really delusional to think that it was earlier than that.
She's had an amazing 10 year run of extreme relevancy, the one Bernie only experienced this year for a couple of months.
More powerful people = more money for marketing campaign = bigger sales = more money = more money for powerful people who will have more money for marketing campaign = much bigger sales = more money and more money for powerful people who will have even more money for payola'ing radios and everything.
Another interesting theory, considering this board sees high-profile acts with lots of money and marketing power flop all the time.
Obviously. Making less money and being less acclaimed in a shorter period of time is WAY better than making more money and having more acclaim over a longer period of time. How will you get the attention of insecure gay boys who use blonde pop stars to validate their own existence, addictions, and weaknesses when you're actually a strong businesswoman who succeeds for a long period instead of being consumed by her own addictions?
It's like talking to a bunch of mindless sheep they're so clueless.
And her haters give her far too much credit which I find to be far more hilarious you'd think Bey pulls 21 numbers each time with the way her haters CLING to anything that even sounds plausible to them.
Beyonce's stolen the best people in the business. Actually her money did.
Another interesting theory, considering that when you use money to obtain a good, it is no longer "stealing." We call that "purchasing" in capitalist societies. Are you familiar with it? Have you ever had any money to exchange for goods and services?
Not everyone has to sit at the piano and write down each word as they go to make a song.

Beyoncé's lyrics and arrangements are quite distinct. Even though Pretty Hurts had the "Sia stank" it wasn't as linear and one dimensional as "Loved Me Back to Life" and "Diamonds".
Anyway, her lyrics were more prominent during DC, but she's said herself she wanted to branch out lyrically. So she sought out other writers.
"In addition to being impressed with Beyonce's on-the-spot [like with the Partition video I showed you] skills as a lyricist and producer, Workman also was awestruck by certain aspects of her musicianship, particularly regarding timing"
The proof is in the pudding.

Beyoncé would be driving over to the studio listening to all these tracks that had been sent to her, and she would pick her favorite. When she got here, she would immediately start writing lyrics for the song and finish it right there in front of me."

Look at it like this. Stevie Nicks is credited as a writer and not as a producer for "Bootylicious" and we can pretty much assume she didn't have anything to do with the lyrics.
Toxic will cross 2M in the US, the video will cross 100M, and it's one of her most streamed songs in Spotify with 14M streams. What else do y'all need?
CIL is also very remembered and both of their stats are similar. CIL is around 1.5M sold, around 16M streams on Spotify, and the video will also cross 100M.
Not to mention, both remain each respective artists' most acclaimed singles.
Forgotten?
