DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I found some old Billboard Magazines with their year-end charts. So here's the queens of each year from 1977 to 1987.

Like Beyonce isn't considered "beyonce" for Destiny's Child And Stevie's solo career wasn't on par with the ladies listed. Total, she only had 4 Top 10 hits as a solo act (and never got a song in the Top 2) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To both of you, i made a critical error. After you mentioned Stevie Nicks, I went back and double checked all of the charts and she was actually #4 in 1982.

"Leather and Lace" (peak: #6), Edge of Seventeen (peak: #11) and "After Glitter Fades" (peak: #32)fell within this time frame. This helped the album sell well throughout 1982, making it the 8th best selling album of 1982 and the best selling album by a female. If her songs had charted higher, she could've been on top. Olivia Newton John was IMPOSSIBLE to beat that year, though, because "Physical" was the #1 song of 1982 and her album (while below Stevie's) was still the #15 album of the year.
