Plastic Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Wait, Beyonce debuted in 1997? I always thought she debuted in 2003 with Dangerously In Love since that was, you know, her debut album Edited October 4, 2017 by Plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sunshine if Beyoncé's debut was on November 11th, 1997 then she's still not 20 years into her career. If Mi Gente is top 10 by November 11th, 2017 then we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles. Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Is there any logic to how these artists are ranked? It's not alphabetical, or ranked by the length of the gap between debut and last top 10 appearance... You can also add Prince, given that "Purple Rain" returned to the top 10 following his death. And although Dolly Parton's first album debut in 1967, she released her first single in 1959. "Islands in the Stream" hit #1 in 1983, which is a 20+ year gap from her first single... But not from her first album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
