Just because she may be big in one country doesn't mean she's popular among all demographics, that posters name was KingOfUrbanPop for crying out loud. Among some people she may be popular, others she isn't.
Same with every other artist.

OMG SHE WON
What an incredible victory. So happy for Queen.
Homogenic is truly a landmark album and changed the scope of electronic music and female artistry. So proud of her for pulling thru.
RoL is also a pop pinnacle

Ray of Light would have won if I had put it at my #1 instead of optimistically wasting the spot on the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack.

Such a deserving winner and it isn't ever her best album. A true one of a kind artist and discography who deserves every single bit of recognition she gets.
Thanks for hosting this guys
