You clearly got what I was trying to say so that is not necessary. I'm still waiting for you to prove that 'Thriller' (The Album) has bigger impact than 'BEYONCÉ', which is currently the STANDART in today's pop culture considering everything.

1 million in sales every week at it's peak.
I said it throughout this whole thread.

this thread got messy fast

But I'd argue Taylor (whose last 2 albums sold more than 1million in their debut week), timberlake (whom I can't stand but sold 900k opening week) and Adele (whom I like less than beyonce but went diamond in the 2010s) are more worthy successors if we are speaking sales alone.

Not that I think sales make the artist (I'm an Xtina stan after all) but it seems like the hive is very quick to pull out numbers post her last album release

I never once pulled out numbers to defend Bey, I only pointed out the fact that Bey won't sell 100 million records

And tbh what has Taylor, JT or Adele done that is impact-ful sales aside?

All three of their latest releases have no impact though.

No one considers them anything to the music industry. Unlike Beyonce who released a surprise album and is still getting praised for it months later.

You don't need to go diamond when everyone is praising you to the gods.

She has sold 118 million solo and 60 Million with DC. So she has already done it.

How can albums have impact 2 years after it's release?

Please STOP playing dumb, I clearly was talking about selling that much with ONE album

It's not a self drag tho. I'm realistic and understand my fav's spot in the industry and I'm not about sales in order to stan for my fav. The hive tho loves pulling out receipts all of the sudden after the last album as if they didn't get dragged after 4.

Let's be honest, I prefer beyonce over MJ, but I'm not silly enough to think that an album that's been out less than 6 months has more impact than an album that's still being discussed 30+ years later. But I get you completely ignored the rest of comment I made to make that 1 drag. It's ok sis.

maybe if Standing On The Sun were on BEYONCE then it would be as memorable as Thriller

Easy. BEYONCÉ already has impact and acclaim. SurfboardT alone is iconic and spawned it's own clothing brand. When is Thriller doing that? In another 20 years?

So can Michelle and Kelly also be the next MJ?
Does it count too?

You getting heated is the funniest thing, it's not that serious and you know I LOVE BEYONCE.

But what impact did 'Thriller' have? Sales and impact are not the same thing. 'BEYONCÉ' surprise release has changed the whole industry model. That's impact.

You can't be serious.
