but I believe the title says "How will history remember FF, BTW & 4?".
I do not see blackout in the title, so why is everyone going off topic?

Because Blackout is a classic. 4, BTW and FF are far from it.

[KeirGrey]

The biggest and most timeless classic ever released by a pop girl

[Dephira]

Again, best selling album worldwide of the last decade. Not Usher or Gaga or Britney Spears. The Beatles . Over 30 years after they disbanded.

My favorite Beetles song was Imagine...until I found out that was John Lennon.

Femme Fatale won't we widely remembered in the same way that some of Britney's most iconic/influential albums will be remembered. Those who will remember FF will regard it as an enjoyable, though somewhat safe, party album.

Born This Way will be remembered as a very ambitious effort that may have suffered from a couple creative missteps.

4 will be remembered by fans and critics as a developmental stage in Beyonce's discography, though I do not expect that it will be widely remembered by casual listeners.

I'm actually pretty sure you know at least 5 beatles songs. Did you forget that their Greatest Hits which was just released in 2000 was the best selling album worlwide of the last decade?

Do you remember when they re-mastered their catalog in 2009?

I think if we are talking longevity, cultural impact & influence, and general critical and commercial opinion...the Beatles >> MJ. MJ trumps the overwhelming majority of artists/bands in history, but the Beatles are near untouchable. And btw, I am a fan of neither so I am not biased or pressed here

This is especially true b/c MJ passed just 2 years ago, so we're still feeling the ripples of his death and people revisiting his music or discovering it for the first time.

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is a Beatles song, right?

Born This Way will be fine in the short run, but I am seriously beginning to be concerned as to the future of 4. I thought that Best Thing would smash, and it's not doing much at the moment. EOT imo would be a changing point for the album.

I expected Best Thing to smash like another Halo, but then again I also expected Judas to smash like Bad Romance..

Blackout is a classic, but the topic at hand is not about Blackout.

I expected neither to smash.

Elvis is more iconic, well known and remembered than MJ and The Beatles tbh.

I'm tempted to agree here...but at the same time, i feel like Elvis' music has not had the longevity that either of the other 2 have had. Elvis perhaps was the bigger star during his time, but I think the Beatles has influenced more music while keeping their music important to every generation than any other artist or band I can think of

That I agree with . Ignorance within that field but not common knowledge to pop culture in general.

For example The velved underground and the beatles are both incredibly influential, highly-revered bands but I wouldn't blame anyone for not knowing whether the former exists or not .

That's what I was saying, if you don't know classics of a field you are an ignorant in that particular art.
And lol of course you don't need to know every classics but a hipHop fan who doesn't know Nas is ignorant, the same goes with a music fan who doesn't know Aretha Franklin, the woman inspired tthree whole generations back to back including her own generation and some rock artists and bands. The music fan who doesn't know her is just clueless and yes ignorant.

[RhnNec]

I will not remember anything about " 4 " I listened whole album. I could listen End Of Time for second times.

Born This Way is really good. I think i'll remember it as like as " The Fame Monster "

God know i love Femme Fatale but this is not Britney's best work.

Of course. Elvis will always be superior because he was the face of America's post-War / beginning of Cold War culture. He sits pretty in a special place in history.

Yes, and not even one of their best known ones
