Netizens are constantly arguing about this magazine’s recent statement comparing Taylor Swift to a one-time pop music legend.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Taylor Swift is one of the most representative representatives of world music today.

I must take my hat off in admiration.

Recently, Consequences of Sound – an online magazine specializing in movie and music reviews – became the focus of attention on social networking sites when eloquently declaring that one of the most successful albums of Taylor Swift’s 1989 totally deserves to be considered this decade’s version of Thriller.

Immediately, this statement caused many mixed opinions online. It must be known that the outstanding commercial and artistic success of Thriller is one of the extremely important highlights of the world music industry. This masterpiece contributed to strengthening Michael Jackson’s reputation and bringing him to the ranks of the best pop stars at that time.

“1989 is the 2010s version of Thriller. You think we’re exaggerating? Sorry, not at all. Even if you don’t care about Taylor Swift, we bet you’ve lived a part of it. my life with the songs in this album.” – Sources from the magazine said.

 

Therefore, the fact that Consequences of Sound suddenly compared Thriller to descendant Taylor Swift’s 1989 album has made netizens extremely upset. Although 1989 brought countless records and achievements for the singer Lover such as the Album of the Year award at the 58th Grammy and the creation of a series of cult hits such as Blank space, Bad blood, Shake it off, but when brought put on the scale and placed on the same level as a legend in music history like Thriller, this is more or less unreasonable.

Some netizens even sarcastically said to this magazine that, if 1989 is called the Thriller of this decade, then what would Adele with her two world-shattering super albums, 21 and 25, be called? Because in terms of both commercial and artistic achievements, both 21 and 25 are not inferior to 1989.

Currently, the incident is still the focus of attention online, while Consequences of Sound still chooses to stay silent and has not responded to mixed comments from fans.
