June 21, 20232 yr Thanks very much for this Gezza and very much looking forward to the male and group versions!
June 21, 20232 yr Forgot to mention that Madonna's average points per voter decreased from 18.62 last time to 16.12 this time, while Gaga's increased from 14.97 to 16.08.
June 21, 20232 yr Wow at how close that was! I think I'd probably have given Gaga enough to win if I had voted (the 'Ray Of Light' era is great but I'm otherwise fairly lukewarm on Madonna's discog bar the occasional gem whereas I've generally enjoyed most of Gaga's output) but there are so many people that have said they wish they'd voted so who knows what would have happened if we all had :kink: I am surprised Rihanna's placement seems to have proven so controversial especially since she actually had more voters than both Madge and Gaga! Thanks for running this Gezza, even though I didn't vote as usual has still been fun to follow along with the results (and leave comments when I could be bothered to).
June 21, 20232 yr I shoulda voted. Get the Solo Spicey Ladies higher. Except maybe thr showbiz grifter...
June 21, 20232 yr She posed for the Sistine Madonna painting in 1513 so she was having success long before 1884 too Omfg THIS!!! It's an often overlooked tidbit from pop culture!
June 21, 20232 yr She posed for the Sistine Madonna painting in 1513 so she was having success long before 1884 too :lol: :lol: :lol:
June 21, 20232 yr So me forgetting Lady Gaga did make a difference. She probably would have gotten about 10-15 points and that would have changed the result. But Madonna's discography is so much stronger so the right winner here IMO.
June 21, 20232 yr I can't grumble at the winner despite putting Gaga a few places higher, Madonna is an icon who has so many classics from across the ages. Thanks for running this Gezza! I've really enjoyed it. This was my top 30: 1. Delta Goodrem 2. Shakira 3. Kelly Llorenna 4. Kylie Minogue 5. Christina Aguilera 6. Lady Gaga 7. Rihanna 8. Kelly Clarkson 9. Sarah McLachlan 10. Sara Bareilles 11. Madonna 12. Mariah Carey 13. Robyn 14. Taylor Swift 15. Katy Perry 16. Natasha Bedingfield 17. Dua Lipa 18. Lily Allen 19. Nerina Pallot 20. Sia 21. Adele 22. Vanessa Amorosi 23. Loreen 24. P!nk 25. Leona Lewis 26. KT Tunstall 27. Agnes 28. Britney Spears 29. Sophie Ellis-Bextor 30. Ellie Goulding Would probably push Kylie up to 3 and Loreen up a few if I was doing it now.
June 21, 20232 yr Echoing my thanks for this Gezza, I've thoroughly enjoyed following it and I look forward to the male and band versions to follow, whenever they come. A deserved winner in Madonna (she was my 30 pointer after all) but wow @ only 2 points separating her from Gaga! Kylie rounding off the top 3 would have been perfect but we can't have it all x Edited June 21, 20232 yr by Mangø
June 21, 20232 yr She posed for the Sistine Madonna painting in 1513 so she was having success long before 1884 too I cackled :lol: :lol: A deserved win though. Madonna has one hell of a formidable discography (especially up to 2005), even if she is a bloody embarrassment these days!
June 22, 20232 yr Thanks for doing this Geeza! It was great to follow. (Any chance you could message me my top 30 please?
June 22, 20232 yr Thanks for doing this, been fun to follow! My list if I had voted in time… 1. Lady Gaga 2. Madonna 3. Mariah Carey 4. P!nk 5. Whitney Houston 6. Kylie Minogue 7. Taylor Swift 8. Beyonce 9. Britney Spears 10. Aretha Franklin 11. Amy Winehouse 12. Paloma Faith 13. Lily Allen 14. Dolly Parton 15. Kelly Clarkson 16. Leona Lewis 17. Adele 18. Alicia Keys 19. Cheryl 20. Dua Lipa 21. Demi Lovato 22. Dusty Springfield 23. Lana Del Rey 24. Tracy Chapman 25. Diana Ross 26. Nicola Roberts 27. Shania Twain 28. Gwen Stefani 29. Carole King 30. Charli XCX
June 22, 20232 yr I was a bit annoyed at myself for missing this rate, but my 30 pointer won anyway. Madonna is the ultimate female pop star and paved the way for so many that came after her. I think my Top 3 would have been Madonna Kylie Minogue Britney Spears From the Top 10 list, Rhianna, Beyonce, Adele and P!nk would have been pretty low down on my rate
June 22, 20232 yr Biggest casualties are Mary J Blige, Ashanti and Toni Braxton. These women made history and are not even top 100. RNB whilst not huge on this site , there are many RNB artists above them.
June 22, 20232 yr Biggest casualties are Mary J Blige, Ashanti and Toni Braxton. These women made history and are not even top 100. RNB whilst not huge on this site , there are many RNB artists above them. I can understand the latter two but not Mary J Blige. She was literally the First Lady of the r&b revival in the 90s
June 22, 20232 yr They've never been *that* big here in the UK though, no? (At least in comparison to their success in the US) So I just don't think outside of their biggest hits, people (especially the younger end of the BJ demographic) are too familiar with their material much. Unlike some of the other r&b ladies above them who came around at a time of social media and have managed to carve out decent followings on this site/across the net. They're legends in their own right for sure, but I'm not surprised they've not made the top 100.
June 22, 20232 yr This was great fun, thank you @ Gezza!! Madonna is fully deserving of that title, truly a legend! (and I won't give my opinions on no.3......)
