Had Adele pushed rumour has it and turning tables 21 would've been higher

 

[SinnerCity]

A great top 10! And Mariah achieving one of her most successful eras after her alleged commercial peak  legendary

Dangerously in Love is that girl.

2003 Debut

It would be interesting to see a more wider top like top 20 maybe? There must be iconic albums behind that, like SZA's “SOS”, Kesha's “Animal”, Gwen's “Love Angel Music Baby” Doja's “Planet Her”, any Nicki Minaj album, “Title” by Meghan Trainor, Taylor's “Midnights”. Hope someone do a list someday

The Fame Monster? I'm assuming this includes Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi and LoveGame?

 

Teenage Dream is really the biggest pop era. So happy to see Kelly, Olivia, Mariah and Fergie, amazing eras  1989 too  

Adele could have been so much higher with a more successful fourth and fifth singles. However being that high considering the first three singles carried says so much.

 

I wonder where Lover and Midnights place? Both are not as strong as 1989 in terms of singles performance but the eras in full are just as impactful, given the longevity. Also other big eras like Anti/Loud, Loose, Sasha Fierce, Circus, Let Go, Funhouse/The Truth About Love.

Kelly and Fergie are so random being there

(given that they are eras that sold better than them, around them (tbh add Olivia too))

 

I guess it shows that they aren't for underrating

but there are a lot of other eras that deserve recognition too

 

 

would be interesting to see a WW version of this..
