It's interesting how Back to Black became Amy's posthumous signature song. Wasn't really a big hit anywhere despite probably being the most acclaimed track of her career (that or LIALG). I'm glad though, much better than Rehab.
Greasy your thread actually made plenty of sense and I've already made a similar thread about Adele vs. Madonna except I didn't mention the latter to avoid it getting closed. But leave it to ATRL to reduce it to "Goddonna had impact and controversies. Adele could neva" when the latter could very well become the biggest female artist ever all the while being universally loved.

"Back to Black" is legitimately a modern classic. Poor Adele.

Modern classic in what sense?
I suspect Rolling In The Deep sells more in every market, sees more recurrent airplay in every market, is streamed more in every market, and is generally just loved and known FAR more widely than Back To Black.

I just looked at it; yes, I think you may be onto something. Adele is following the same one-woman diva template as those other women whereas Madonna is the exception (which makes her success even more impressive tbh).

And so is "Gangnam Style".
But "Back to Black" is respected by serious music critics and connoiseurs to a degree "Rolling in the Deep" isn't.
the Oprah impressions get me every time
