Nicki = Avril > Xtina > Jlo

 

I don't even like Nicki but facts are facts, it's so easily her, she's a legend for the rap scene, and the same doesn't happen with Jlo, Avril and Xtina to the pop scene. They're all successful tho, so no shade. 

3/4 of them haven't done anything special since the 2000s, so. im not just talking commercially either. but it's not a fair comparison since Nicki basically debuted in the 2010s and had her peak, they didn't.

Thank you for being fair Selegend 

Avril Lavigne 

avril sweetie  she may be a flop now but she had everyone on a chokehold from 2002 to 2009 

 

 

Xtina feels like it to me but I admit Avril had a more impressive longevity.

Chartmasters says Xtina!

 

Anyways, stop comparing a Grammy winning legend to non Grammy winners. Thank you!

Avril

Avril, Xtina, Niki then Jennifer if just music career. 
 

I placed Xtina above Nikki because CA to B2B was massive regardless how many times ppl want to rewrite history.

Let say thank you Maroon 5, Pitbull etc.

 

In terms of actual studio albums, Let Go (22m) is bigger than any Xtina album and she has stronger solo streams.

 

Jlo may not have sold as much as Xtina but she's a bigger touring and Youtube force.

my first thought was Xtine, but considering everything mentioned probably Nekci 

Avril >>

Avril > J Lo > Nicki > Xtina

This is actually harder to vote on than I thought. All had great peaks. JLo and Xtina probably had better peaks, although Avril's debut sold the most (I'm from USA). 

 

Biggest Hits: JLo and Xtina

Biggest Albums: Avril

Longevity: Nicki

Impact: Nicki

Musical Talent: Xtina

Best Performer: JLo

So Avril is not that big overall. She's actually last if we take touring into question... Interesting
