Carole King was huge for like a year in the early 70's. Longest running #1 album for a female until The Bodyguard, oldest album by a female to be Diamond certified (1971), GRAMMY for SOTY, AOTY & ROTY in 1972.
Barbra released 13 albums in the first 10 years of her career, which was pretty standard for the 60s tbh. Most of them are variations of her name (Barbra, The Barbra Streisand Album, My Name Is Barbra, etc).
She's definitely the most unacclaimed, unimportant, musically irrelevant (to the progression of the art form) legend of all.
Barbra's influence in film is another reason that she was so huge. AFAIK, she was the first woman to ever star, direct, write, and produce her own movie.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album is terrific — like really, really, really, really, really. Not only is Emotion an ensemble of sterling pop, it’s a creative breakthrough ... Forgive my unbridled enthusiasm, which resembles a teenager’s lack of composure. Blame this artist’s impeccable taste and canny vision, realized on Emotion with blinding Technicolor.
...
Emotion, to borrow the parlance of clickbait, restores my faith in the music industry.
...
[Jepsen and her collaborators have] crafted tunes that split wide open with aural ecstasy. Apart from the gorgeous, Prince-ly seep of “All That”, Emotion bounces across its runtime. This is despite themes that cover heartbreak (“Your Type”), vengeance (“Emotion”), self-doubt (“When I Needed You”), weariness (“LA Hallucinations”), and depression (“Making the Most of the Night”). The album soars highest when it fully embraces its bubblegum roots. Opener “Run Away with Me” slinks above a honking saxophone hook. The indelible “Gimmie Love” struts underneath the reflections of a mirrorball. Lead single “I Really Like You” hits its stride through a gigantic chorus. And then there’s “Warm Blood”, the throbbing, misshapen gumdrop plopped atop this pop sundae.

8 competitive Grammys, 2 Oscars, 5 Emmys, and a Tony. Hag wishes!
And 5 years later she was prancing around to a Dr. Luke beat singing "I'm the mother****ing princess"

her insufferable attitude made it that much easier for Britney to sit comfortably on her thrown
To me Barbra Streisand is part of that old Hollywood brigade who lick each other's asses but are not taken seriously by anyone with actual appreciation for film or music. They will all be completely forgotten in a couple of centuries once the dust settles on this era and only true excellence and innovation are remembered.

I said this hundreds of times but Barbra is a Broadway performing Legend. Her music and Film career are a result of her career in theatre. That is where her strengths lie, that is why she is so painfully local that is why she could never serve anything to the progression of pop music because the old Broadway world is where she has always belonged.
Loud has only 3 terrible songs and the rest range from good to incredible heaven in audio form, including the four absolute classics Only Girl, S&M, Man Down and Whats My Name
