DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm taking some of the biggest female singers to debut in the 80s/90s and comparing their biggest hits based on Billboard Hot 100 charting. I'm referencing Billboard's All Time chart. Let the battle of the hits begin. (This is based on actual data and charting on the Hot 100, this is not based on opinion) Some of the cover art may be hard to see, so i've listed the names below #01-#03 #04-#06 #07-#09 #10-#12 #13-#15 #16-#18 #19-#21 #22-#24 #25-#27 #28-#30 #31-#33 Source: https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100-60th-anniversary 1.

mr.peter 3,515 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 off topic... love how those single covers look together like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
That J 12,166 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I LOVE the cover for Justify My Love. That whole little era was so wild!!! The banned video, her look at the time, the song itself! Fire. We Belong Together and One Sweet Day are 2 of the most massive radio hits in the past 40 years. As of January 4th, I am 40 so I do know a thing or two. Haha All of these songs bring back such memories and smells and sights and feels. It's a very nostalgic trip down memory lane. ALL of these songs were huge tho!

That J 12,166 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It's also interesting how these were just the singles during a time and there were always better songs on each of these albums. I'm incredibly thankful to have been around during times when ALL music had a different flavor and there were so many icons in the making during their glory days. It was AMAZING.

Monster7 5,621 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I thought Madonna would have done better. It's curious how low is Like a Prayer yet it's more remembered than some of the top 10 charting songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of their runs, I was so over both songs and MC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overplayed to the point of...I could literally go my entire life and never hear them again and be fine. Great songs but LAWD. 40 so far isnt so bad. Like I said on Facebook, it's all good...especially when ya still look 25. HA! Good genes baby.
