And it gets me when people say **** like most of her fans came from 21. So what? That's how it usually goes. Obviously she got more fans off of 21 because it sold 4 times as much as 19. People cannot discover an artist at a later time? It's suddenly against the rules?
So sick of these ignorant ****s on twitter and on this forum who think it's impossible to actually be a fan of hers. They're still under the impression that 21 was a fluke and planned by the public to hurt their fav, like anyone really gives a **** about things like that. They act like the internet = real life.
And I love Beyonce but the Hive are delusional as hell. Beyonce's album did nothing to save the industry.

Right! I agree 100%. I bought
21 after I got hooked on "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You". I mean, "Rolling in the Deep" was a big hit at the time, and then she did "Someone Like You" at the VMAs before it was a big hit and I just sat on the couch and cried like a baby. I knew there was something special about her and I went out and bought the album! That was before it started breaking records! I'm not stanning for her because of her success. That's just a nice bonus!
I hate those people, too. I think they figure that Adele's music is something reminiscent of older music and she got lucky with the success she had with the album. They figure she won't have any more success because she makes music that's not radio-friendly. If that's the case, though, why were three of her singles (all of which are not overly radio-friendly for pop airplay) charted at number-one and smashed records, while the album they came from became one of the best-selling albums of all-time? I think they need to shut up! Like, it's fine if you don't like Adele, but they act like she's done something incredibly awful and doesn't deserve this success. That couldn't be further from the truth!
And I agree. I love Beyoncé, but her fans make me love her less. There's a few that I really like a lot, like you! You're genuinely nice and you don't seem to give two sh*ts about her sales! You stan for the music. But a lot of her fans stan for her because they know they'll get the sh*t beat out of them if they talk sh*t about the "reincarnation of Jesus", in ATRL's eyes. Her album really did not do that much. I mean, she had one big single from it so far, "Drunk in Love", and it wasn't even huge for a long period of time. I love the song, but it was more successful because its lyrics could be turned into memes than the fact that the music is good. I just think her fans need to stop throwing it in our faces that Beyoncé has a great body and is practically queen of the world right now. Honestly... I don't get it. Beyoncé and Adele love each other. Why do Bey's fans have to constantly throw Beyoncé's achievements in our face and try to make Beyoncé seem like she's better than Adele? Adele sold more with
21 than Bey's entire solo discography prior to her fifth album being released, so... Haters can stay pressed.
