Different times, different times.
Such as, I'm sure the 80s, Michael Jackson / Lionel Richie outsold / mass produced more albums than Supremes did in 60s. At one point, even heard the Commodores is / was Motown's highest selling act. Mariah Carey / Boyz II Men outsold MJ and Richie in the 90s, with even more mass printings of demand of albums. And now, this age, probably assuming this "Bieber", I never liked him but well aware been a gigantic name for a few years now, been backed by mass lower/ middle class markets like Wal-Mart and Target.
Although, I thought this age is all about "Taylor Swift".
Adele will be breaking some records of her own by this time next week.
Can you provide the source for your information?Quote:

Justin Bieber might be smartening up and calming down maybe. It would be fortunate for him if he can so we don't end up with another tragedy.

I see it says it is being driven by streaming.
Why do you keep posting non-Motown news in the Motown forum? :[[
Because he's breaking all the Motown Records too; it is relevant to any kind of interest; and the Motown Forum is the only one that gets the views.
Regardless if he's breaking records, he has nothing to do with Motown.Quote:

One of my favorite topics is "which forum to post in".
Bieber is one lucky man, particularly for somebody that really isn't so special or talented.
You need a combination ~ looks, voice, attitude, personality ~ and the timing ~ and when you are the one in 50 million ~ it happens: the Beatles, Beyonce, Taylor Swift.
