Rev8 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Probably not all of the Charts existed back during Madonna, or even Cher's time.. so the older acts present, are really impressive. 1
Gottasadae Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I know, Madonna is gonna be on Top with huge difference, no one will come close to her A true global legend 1
family.guy123 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Chart positions are the fair only way to compare between eras

I think today is the era with most music charts. Back in the - so-called Boomer era - there were like 15-20 countries with a regular chart. And even today... a nationalised singles chart... can probably only be found in like 35 countries around the world.

Not to mention that there are several charts for one country (for the same thing, not even different genre) in some places up until the 2010s, the charts have been increasing constantly It would be nice if we knew when some of the Charts in the OP, have been established (year/etc)

swissman Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) Beyoncé at #10 despite the fact that her last four studio album' singles were all defined by some sort of singles self-sabotage in one way or another. Edited May 15 by swissman 1
LegaMyth Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Madonna accomplished this when there were far more hurdles. The singles had to be SHIPPED for them to chart. The forever Queen of Pop. 1
Nightingale Posted May 15 Posted May 15 It's crazy that Shakira's main markets aren't even counted and she's that high up
