Blank Space is gonna be the HAC hit in 10+ years but Shake it Off will be like the novelty pop song that all the tasteful people will stan for. I'm calling it.
it's no doubt that Aaliyah's status was inflated due to her young untimely tragic passing. i lived thru that time to know she wasn't as big as people made her out to be since her death.
however, i never had a grasp on how big or not Selena really was. but i was reading her receipts and she was actually really big and was a trailblazer. she's the best selling Latin artist of the 90s, she won Female Vocalist of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards 9x in a row since '86, her '92 album was #1 on Mexican charts for 19 weeks, her People mag cover literally sold out in a week...it was the 1st time that ever happened in their history....it became their first commemorative edition. Her English album sold 331k its first week...she was the 3rd female artist after Janet & Mariah to sell that much in a week.
