Not buying that.
Brittney has been saying for a long time she wanted her dad out of the conservator role.
Plus she’s been silenced and stripped of power over herself, her sister needed to speak up a long time ago. The silenced can’t speak.

That tweet was fascinating to watch. Adele really came in strong! I very loosely follow pop music (I like the occasional radio song) so I had no idea how Brittney ranked among her peers in pop music. I never really liked any of Christina Aguillar's radio hits but I've heard some of her other songs and vocally she's pretty amazing, way better than Brittney so it was interesting to see how quickly Christina fell off. Britteny's vocals weren't as strong but clearly, she had a better stage presence, connection with her audience, and just had that mass appeal that her peers did not.
This chart doesn't consider Spotify and Pandora which is how we all listen to music now, so of course women from the 90s and 2000s will stay at the top.
This chart is BULLSH!!!T. Lady gaga has sold about 120 million albums and the chart says about 30m. Adele has sold 35 and not nearly 60.
Not to veer off topic, but according to Wikipedia, Adele's albums have sold 6.5mil (19), 31mil (21), and 22mil(25) even though her main page says ~35mil sold. Which is weird. But I agree that something seems off about the chart. Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Rhianna all seem too low.

Maybe they feel like it's finally time that people are really listening and something will change. Like the metoo movement. It's hard to speak out when you know it probably won't work and you still need to deal with those people you just spoke out about.

Well, I found enormous pleasure in watching the slow and steady rise of Pink's sales throughout the past twenty years. Whatever the numbers show i find it to be a hard sell to compare the vocals and performance ability of Pink with Britney. The former continues to set a higher and higher standard in her performances, as well as her vocals. There is no comparison and Pink's longevity speaks for itself. But she is much stronger, mentally, physically, emotionally. Britney spears was not well served by her fame obviously. It did not strengthen her and her family obviously could not buffer and support her in the same way some other performer's families and network could. And they must know that on some level.

This article from earlier this year has some interesting comparisons between Brittney and Beyonce (and others). I can't paste in the graphics so I'll just post the whole article.
