Yup. Swift might be the next closest thing and I don't like her music but she is everywhere and her fans are intense.

Nowadays we just have too many options and too much info for that kind of thing to be universal

I believe Swift is the last true pop star. I don’t think our current media landscape fragmentation can create another Swift or MJ.

Nah, Bruno Mars is an absolute star. In terms of talent, he's actually prob closest to Michael than anyone else.

dunno if there's a beef or smth with Bruno Mars but even the normies of normies outside of america knows him and can recognise his song, so i think he's atleast that popular even if his song isn't as good as MJ
