We as in dubcc has no problem, its getting the rest of humanity to stop giving in to the hype.
I really don't see why she's receiving such iconic status treatment as if she's on a Michael Jackson or Whiteney Houston level.

The media convinced black people that Jay-Z & Beyonce are the equivalent to legitimate royalty.When that same media is done with them, they'll kill Jay-Z, say Beyonce beats Blue Ivy, they'll fall into the abyss & they'll push like Big Sean & Ariana Grande as the biggest name in music.

Adele doesn't have a "Purple Rain" either and she's a Pale European who mimics the Afro-American Art form so that played a factor in sales...Tho at the same time Record Sales aren't the End All Be All. I will agree with you tho on the fact that 5 Milli is waaaaaaay too low to be boosting her status like the way it is. She could have atleast sold 9 Million at a minimum to have actually EARNED that type of praise. But again, she doesn't have a "Purple Rain" or a "Thriller".So even though we can't wholeheartedly look at Sales like we used to, to some degree huge sales in this industry for an artist of her caliber should be taken into consideration. I'll give her her props tho becuz Shawty might be the biggest Urban Singer (along with Rihanna). It's just too bad she doesn't have any Soul. Jennifer Hudson and Estelle could probably out-SING Beyonce
Actually no. You must not understand what Purple Rain was to be saying some type of wild ass shit like thatPurple Rain was placed by Goon, Lawyer, Fireman, CEO, & Entrepreneur all across the board. Purple Rain marked an era and it still gets mad spins decades later. Adele doesn't even get spins on Urban Radio anymore. And that goes for Hip Hop and Soul/Jazz stations alike.You can't simply say "because Record B sold as much as Record A that automatically makes Record B as great and as impactful as Record A", that's nonsense and an incorrect analogy.40 years from now she'll be forgotten about, Prince on the other hand is arguably just as popular today as he was back in the days of wayback.It's like Chris Brown said on The Breakfast Club. [paraphrasing] White People go crazy for shit Black People do routinely if not better
