Moth 2 The Flame Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 https://australian-charts.com/forum.asp?todo=viewthread&id=33235 This is a rather old thread posted back in 2010 but I thought it'd be interesting to see the list of top solo female artists of Australia from 1980-2009 in terms of singles. I think the creator of the thread was an Australian music industry insider who had access to most (estimated) sales figures for all the artists singles listed but not too sure, they were able to provide specific sales figure numbers for a lot of the artists top singles listed though (under the points column). The link above is part 4 of the thread that had the list counting down to the #1 artist (which is Madonna ) as there had been 3 other ones created before to help list the top 1000 singles artists of Australia. AUSTRALIA: Top Solo Female Singles Artists (1980-2009) 1. Madonna 2. Kylie Minogue 3. Britney Spears 4. P!nk 5. Mariah Carey 6. Delta Goodrem 7. Beyonce 8. Rihanna 9. Janet Jackson 10. Jennifer Lopez 11. Celine Dion 12. Christina Aguilera 13. Whitney Houston 14. Lady Gaga 15. Cher 16. Shania Twain 17. Avril Lavigne 18. Shakira 19. Fergie 20. Nelly Furtado 21. Gwen Stefani 22. Kelly Clarkson 23. Kim Wilde 24. Anastacia 25. Vanessa Amorosi 26. Tina Arena 27. Olivia Newton John 28. Cyndi Lauper 29. Tina Turner 30. Belinda Carlisle 31. Alanis Morissette 32. Jessica Simpson 33. Diana Ross 34. Taylor Swift 35. LeAnn Rimes 36. Katy Perry 37. Miley Cyrus 38. Laura Branigan 39. Toni Braxton 40. Irene Cara 41. Pat Benatar 42. Jordin Sparks 43. Bette Midler 44. Paula Abdul 45. Taylor Dayne 46. Jewel 47. Kate Ceberano 48. Missy Higgins 49. Sheena Easton 50. Dannii Minogue If there was another update that includes the 2010's decade, then I'm sure Rihanna, Beyonce, P!nk, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift would move up a lot. Ariana Grande would probably make it into the top 20 while Jennifer Lopez would move above Janet due to On The Floor smashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTWE was a multi-platinum top 10 in Australia Surprised to see Janet above Celine and Whitney I'm sure she did especially if S&S is counted (6x platinum). On the other hand I feel like Pink and Rihanna might have surpassed Britney, not sure about the others. Still #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda the same for New Zealand too. Number of top 10 singles in New Zealand Janet: 13 Whitney: 10 Celine: 6 So it seems Janet is stronger than those two in the Oceania continent for singles, but they seem to have more success than her in Europe overall.
