So I ask again, if Adele can become popular through word of mouth with extra industry marketing how come the industry won't give other artists the same chance?

Why can't the industry also market other non traditional pop stars?

Adele is completely different from Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kary Perry, etc so the argument that she is pop friendly is rather ridiculous.

She is not.... which is partially why she became so popular because people were tired of the same pop stars the industry was marketing. They wanted some new blood.

I know for a fact if the industry marketed an artist like Janelle Monae she would be just as popular.

There some dices being rolled behind the scenes and I don't like it.
