Omg so many legends in the 90s :jonny5:

 

Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Celine, Mariah, Alanis, Sade, Annie Lennox, I'm- :jonny2:

 

00s with Avril, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse and P!nk :alexz:

Counting pre-album SPS is so not fair when some of the singles date back to two years before (I'm looking at you, Bebe Rexha). :dies:

 

The 90s were such a boring decade for the girls. Thank heavens the Spice Girls saved it, with Cher, Britney and all her clones following.

Pre-album SPS included is only for track sales/streams in the same year.
