I totally agree on Leona Lewis. She has released some wonderful songs but she has no presence about her. I dont think she ever managed to develop her personality on tv or in interviews which always weakened her star power. She appeared as nervous as she said when auditioning on X Factor.

Leona Lewis = I really liked her when she brought her first album 'Spirit' and it's singles, 'Bleeding Love' is a definite classic and thought that she would have had a huge career, but she seemed to steadily decline with each album, 'Echo' & 'Glassheart' had such potential and were packed with great potential hits that never saw the light of day, for instance why wasn't the title track from the latter made a single, it could have been huge. But now it seems that her time has passed and so much wasted potential.

 

Diana Ross = Now yes she's another great alltime diva and if her sales from the 70's were added to this, then she'd definitely be in the top 10. Her cover of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' is one of the best covers ever, and she's had so many great songs 'Surrender', 'I'm Still Waiting', 'Do You Know (Where You're Going To)', 'Love Hangover', 'The Boss', 'Upside Down', 'It's My Turn', 'I'm Coming Out' (The Ultimate gay anthem), 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love', 'Chain Reaction' & 'One Shining Moment' to name a few.

BIGGEST HIT: PRICE TAG

 

Graduating from BRIT school in the same year as Adele and Leona Lewis she took slightly longer to graduate to the charts but did write “Party In The USA” for Miley Cyrus whilst she waited. Worth the wait though, in her first year she sold 2.4 million singles and scoring 8 top 10 singles including a couple of chart toppers, even her album sold a million. Since then she’s proved to be rather a marmite character to say the least.

BIGGEST HIT: TOGETHER AGAIN

 

Another act who’s been far bigger in the States than here though she’s put in a none too shabby performance here either with 14 top 10 singles. Amazingly she’s never had a No 1 single and only one album “Janet” has gone all the way, “Nipplegate” finished her career really on both sides of the Atlantic- an inglorious end to a great career.

What a superstar Janet is her career finished for me after the All For You album.

Velvet Rope and Control are my fav albums .

Surprised Christina Aguilera is still here, but then I remembered she featured on Moves Like Jagger and I presume Lady Marmalade and also Feel This Moment will count?

Ugh at Jessie 'the Devil' J being this high.

 

I mean, really UK, what's the f***ing joke?

Janet 😍

 

'The Velvet Rope' is one of my favourite albums of all time. 'Janet' would also be pretty high up there too, she's such a great artist. It's a shame she hasn't been popular for a long while now, 'Unbreakable' was pretty good! 'No Sleeep' in particular 👌🏼

Is Gaga in the top 5? Can't wait to find out!

Not sure about Top 5. Maybe Britney, Madonna, Katy Perry, Rhianna and Beyoncé?

Looking forward to seeing where Rihanna is. Surely top 3.

I reckon #2 just behind Madonna

BIGGEST HIT: STARSHIPS

 

No lady yet to feature on our list made her chart debut as recently as Ms Minaj, during that time though she’s racked up the hits with speed including 6 top 10 singles (though her only chart topper came after the cut off date for this survey). Since then she’s supported Britney Spears on tour, duetted with Madonna and become a judge on American Idol where her run-in’s with Mariah Carey became very high profile.

BIGGEST HIT: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

 

Whilst “19” was a reasonably selling album generating the No 2 hit “Chasing Pavements” she was no more than just another BRIT school graduate with a couple of hits to her name. Of course “21” came along in 2011 with THAT performance on the BRITS and sent her stratospheric on both sides of the Atlantic and really started the sales rolling in including the million sellers “Someone Like You” and “Rolling In The Deep” and she rounded off the period with a James Bond theme. She is now, well and truly the biggest selling British female solo singer of all time.

Minaj has only had 23 top 40 hits ?

Thought she featured on more .

 

Minaj next to Adele :)

 

Love them both

Would live to see Pink go top 10 here but I think she'll fall just short.

Edited by T Boy in Weeyals

Adele much lower than I expected!

 

Minaj has done well to get so high. Although the copious features will've helped her out, as they will've for Rihanna when she pops up.

 

Jessie J is an example of someone who was given all the help she could get by the media. While at the same time... just having something to her that's a bit like marmite. I never can decide how I feel about her.
