Even if she does she has already cemented her so is one of the best in the last 50 years... You can't undo her legacy now... Even if she does fall

That’s a reach

She sells out tours and has big albums sales absolutely but that doesn’t mean she’s “one of the best”

That’s literally the definition of being one of the best lol

[Passionfruit]

Best singer/performer/dancer of all time.

It has sold 140k in its second week. TTPD is still on number one with 180k. It’s a good album even tho Pitchfork only gave it a 6.8. I think it’s her best in terms of production. I love Birds of a Feather. Billie said multiple times she doesn’t care about charts and numbers herself. Everything about this release is worth celebrating. Stan culture is toxic.
