jdanton2 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 i will say Beyonce since it could happen with her album release while Ariana just released hers . i would love to see the Bee Gees get it but that is unlikely unless it was in a sample or collab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It's definitely between Beyoncé and Ariana. I'm hoping both snatch their tenth with their current eras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm4074 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The two votes for Katy The only correct answer is Ariana or Bey. Both will probably get their 10th this year regardless who is first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedor Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'd say Ariana because her singles are sure-fire #1 debut. Beyonce hits are organic and harder to come by, she doesn't force her way to #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selegend Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Bey with a new single together with the album release. It can be Ariana too but i think Bey will be first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katamari Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 i mean we really dont know who would had thought Elton would get a big smash, or Bey would even get a number one with a country song, not to mention the state of Katy's career anyone could but bey and aryanee are the most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiest Dreams Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Only reason it wouldn't be Ariana is if Bey gets another from Cowboy Carter upon release, if not then it'll be Ariana with a remix or her next album. Don't see it for the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles. Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 How come Wings and Silk Sonic count for McCartney and Mars, but Destiny's Child and Wham! don't count for Beyoncé and George Michael? It's giving misogynoir and homophobia. If the same standard applied, Beyoncé would have 13 and George would have 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
