[SlowGinFizzzz]

No. I came for Madonna or Tina Turner. 

[HASHTAGPOW]

It's between Loose and Emancipation of Momo

 

[ThinkLater]

COADF sweetie

[prézli]

No.

 

 

She did that when both Madonna and Britney were in their prime.

We Belong Together is one of her most popular singles to date no one in 2023 remembers Suit & Tie

I don't like him, but Mirrors is known on tiktok by gen z

[Odette Violet]

I was too young back then but I didn't know Mariah had her flop era ( I was under the impression she's consistent on the charts ) absolutely love WBT 

[HardBambi]

For me the biggest comeback, in the real sense of the word, was Madonna with Hung Up.

From the very first MTV performance when she started dancing out of that disco ball, it was a legendary return to form, with the whole Confessions album and tour

OT: no Madonna’s Confessions was a better album and comeback

Came to say this.

[Comedor]

Legendary in what way?

 

The album is great but Gimme More was more iconic and legendary. 

[uusagii]

No, Working for the Knife is!

[Riverbank]

It's definitely up there

[sourprint]

never listened to it

[dejmieeen]

What about "Believe" by Cher?

[Mandalay]

Yes, it is the comeback of all comebacks. I still remember when she topped both the album and single charts weeks after its release. Every music magazine made a fuss about it.

It debuted with 968,000 copies first week (more than double what Mariah did) and scored 2 global smash hits so there's nothing to laught at

But "Was he coming back from a flop era?" is the only correct question here

[robbyds]

Tina is the correct answer. Followed by Mariah or Cher. Believe was the bigger global hit but WBT was miles bigger in the most important market..both albums sold about 10M copies right?

[Bears01]

Private Dancer wins this running away 

[Solaria]

I prefer Confessions because it was such a good ode to 80s Madonna (while still modern enough for a 2005 release). Everything about that era was just done right, especially the tour. I religiously rewatch that tour every year.

[JoAddams]

Yes

and is it remembered in 2023?

Do you somehow have the impression that Maria's album is remembered at all? 

[Disconnect]

A Star is Born is. 

[TipToe]

It's memorable, WBT became one of the 00s pop classiques but I don't think it is legendary. 

[Lady Claire]

Private Dancer is. Tina was a black woman on her 40s, fighting for her place as a successful solo artist after years of personal abuse and struggle... and then became one of the biggest female artists of all time.

 

Technically everyone would count her out but she came back stronger than ever.

[supaspaz]

Yes! I opened this thread hoping to see TEOM.
