This is kinda cool.

Billboard totaled the total number of #1's by solo females, all female groups, and all female collabs each decade to find the percentage of #1's women had each decade. The photo shows the female with the most #1's that decade. The percentage isn't their personal share of #1's.

1960s Leaderboard: The Supremes (12 No. 1s during the decade), Connie Francis (3)

I guess what Gaga said for her BB Woman of the Year award about the music business being a "man's industry" was right.

I assumed she mostly meant corporate stuff and producers, but no decade has women charting over 50% :noparty:

Do some monsters still think having #1s doesn't help with an artist's legacy? Not claiming it's the end all be all, but it clearly helps.
