My chart goes back a longggggggg way but I THINK Madonna/Mariah Carey/Delta Goodrem/Spice Girls are the only ones to have had 10+ no1s.

 

Shocking really considering but there wasa lot of $h!t around in the late 80s/early 90s - much worse than Carey's warbling and plus Madonna was actually pretty amazing up until 2000. :lol:
