aLIENshe completely rewrote the rulebook of pop that was dictated by beat driven hits and dancibility, she is the epitome of the shift from the glossy larger than life era to fandom immersion and emotional resonance
she can drop an intimate song/album and it still dominates convos, charts, trends, streams because fans are fully embedded in her world... she humanized pop stardom and dropped the ultra-polished, untouchable act of 2000s stars by letting her quirks, vulnerabilities, and personality shine through her music early on and it payed off massively

Completely disagree with this. Everything about her image is extremely manufactured

Elricthere were world famous black artists well before Elvis showed up (Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald etc) but literally nobody white or black was a successful as an Elvis till Elvis himself showed up.
also, Fats Domino very nearly had more million sellers than Elvis because he was a hyper focused workhorse. Richard wasnt nearly as productive and has about 1/4 as many classic songs as either Elvis, Fats or Chuck. he did usually have the most potent song of the year though (Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally).

Yes because it was impossible for a black artist to reach Elvis-level popularity at that time

it was unprecedented for anyone, black or white.
combination of perfect timing with the boomers reaching rebellious teen years, his otherworldly good looks and charisma, and most importantly workhorse ethic and elite taste level that had him cranking out more classic records that anybody else could keep up with.

In the wee small hours of the morning was 1955 and I’d say that was p significant and his most important album
