Last week, she made history as the first woman to surpass 200 million Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) singles certificationsâthis, despite not releasing a new album since 2016âs âANTI.â

For our annual Pop Issue, her inner circleâfriends, collaborators, and admirers from @mariahcarey to @asaprocky âreflect on their experiences with the icon. Link in bio for the full story.
