They really arent that bad tbh. She's only one behind Rihanna and Madonna who have 4 each. And is one of two girls listed here with YE Top 10 songs in 3 different decades.

 

Hopefully Cruel Summer lingers around long enough to reach Top 10 in 2024!

But atrl said baby boy was a bigger hit than crazy in love because it charted 1 week longer at #1

Because of her album rollout in late November 

It helps album but messes up BB ye

 

SIO , IKYWT,  YBWM all are victim of that

[Chartman]

Great display how hard it is to stay at the very top of the music business.

 

Madonna, the queen of pop had all entries from 1985-1995.

 

Celine Dion everything massive happened 1996-2000.

 

Lady Gaga 6 of her 7 entries are from 2009-2011.

 

Katy Perry everything in the span 2010-2014.

 

Fergie had her moments 2007-2011.

 

Mariah Carey 1990-1996 + a successful comeback in 2005.

[Rev8]

Madonna,Celine and Britney having only 6 entries is crazy, given how many of the artists above them they outsell

 

goes on to show that these Year-Ends ain't sht

especially since this is US-only, and there have been different chart rules at the times too

[Rev8]

Wait, Fergie actually having only 3 out of 8, being truly Hers

I can understand Bey's DC inclusion, since at least she makes up Most of her entries (being a strictly Female (as the title says) group too)

 

but c'mon now

wasn't Gwen Stefani eligible to be there too?, if we gonna group solo/group performances?

Her soundscan year end ranking is better.

all true. also... releasing your album in September splits your albums runs in half. 

 

BB only measures chartruns... soundscan also had a year end ranking... which in some cases showed better positions. 

 

I know ss was not around for the first 8 years of Madonna's career... but still. 

 

Just the other day, a Swiftie called Mariah's E=MC² era a huge flop... it ranks #22 on BB year end chart and #18 on soundscan. 

[Stankonia]

Janet QoP confirmed

[fridayteenage]

at least shake it off was top 20 2 years in a row

[sasashite]

Taylor the queen of Billboard

She always releases her lead single at the end of Q3, so it doesn't get a lot of tracking weeks for the Billboard year-end charts.

No she wasnt. Adding No Doubt she still topped out at 4 (3 solo and 1 from group) and the limit here is 6

[robbyds]

I counted 9 entries for Janet not 10. 

[Maroonx]

Congrats to Taylor x

You're right, had a typo on her 80s singles and counted two in there instead of one. Fixed!

[eli's_rhythm]

Fergie making top five is a kii.

It also puts into context how relevant Fergie's quick stint as a solo artist was fundamental to the late 2000s BEP domination. Despite being huge already, they weren't a chart destroying force in the US before then. After it, they just went crazy!

[Hot Volcano]

The biggest kii ever is Adele releasing 25 on the first week of the Billboard chart year, had she released it a week prior, 25 would've been #1 for the 2015 YEC aswell

[alestevens]

Updated with this year's 4 entries for Taylor. The only other females to bag a Top 10 placement were SZA on the BB200 year end (which if i'm not mistaken would place her at 5 overall year end entries), and Sabrina Carpenter and Kacey Musgraves who got their first!
