(Middle-age/old age obv. meaning 40s and up)

 

A rare and triumphant feat, especially for our favorite female artists! Which is your favorite/s?

 

updated: missed a few legends.

Kate should be here - the injustice of that song not going #1 in the US when it caught on is immeasurable. I’d have chosen her.

 

From the excellent selection here of women who have achieved this, I feel like Believe is the best. A classic! But a LOT of these are classics, so it’s tough competition for sure.

Music since I don’t really count AIWFCIY since the creativity and vocals came from her 20s

Can't believe America ignored this global classic and one of the greatest pop songs of all time

 

OT: Can't beat Believe, tho I also voted for Music and AIWFCIY

America is always on the wrong side of everything including music so this is nothing new. :cm:

Beyonce's are so undeserved :cries: she's the queen of R&B and her last 2 number ones feel kind of impostor-ish

Brenda (13) and Mariah (24) don't qualify here.


Believe is my favorite, but Music actually felt like a song from a fresh new artist.
