The OP is basically trying to show when an artist got their first hit versus when they got their latest success. But nobody cares if you’re going to use arbitrary terms like “legend” and then be biased about who you want to put.

 

Like Britney had a #1 smash with BOMT in 1998 and her most recent global hit was “Hold Me Closer” (top 10 in 22 official charts) which was released 24 years later. Why would you exclude her

Hold Me Closer is not a top 10 hit at all.

Wasn't Madonna 60 when Madame X went to #1 on the BB200?

Is it certified or holding a top 10 or #1 single?

LOL I'd be surprised if it sold more than 200K 

Albums wise? Madonna and Taylor when it comes to their first two decades and consistent album success. Op are you not counting years of inconsistency and flops for various artists?
