25 years ago (on June 30, 1986) Madonna released her masterpiece, her 3rd studio album True Blue, which contained 5 Top 5 singles including 3 #1 singles (Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart and Live To Tell) and the op 10s La Isla Bonita and True Blue. The album eventually sold over 24 million copies worldwide and 7 million in the United States alone
On Tuesday July 5th, 2011 Beyoncé released her 4th studio album, titled 4. It immediately debuted at #1 on the Billboard Album chart and includes the monster single "Run The World (Girls)."
Do you think 25 years from now people will remember Beyoncé's 4 album in 2036 like we remember Madonna's True Blue today? Somehow, I think not.
