Not everyone else, just you.


Actually I think I initially pointed it out to demonstrate that she has received mainstream recognition, because you were saying she hadn't. But, yes, a Grammy does generally imply a certain level of popularity because national distribution is one of the requirements for nomination.


Overall she has sold millions of albums.

She has sold 2 million off her first album and the rest havent done platinum.

But thats besides the point..... She isnt massively popular as you were implying (pop star level) and how do you know the requirements for nomination? Because based on what you are saying she should have been nominated last year for a grammy because her album last year debut at number one and received airplay on adult R&B stations and she didnt get any Grammy nominations She even was on the cover of billboard and still didnt get any. So being on magazine covers doesnt necessarily mean you are recognized by the industry itself.
