Yeah, haha (Avril Lavigne is missing too :eli: lol). 

 

EDIT: other pop girls maybe you can include in the list are Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor but I guess the limit is 5+ years? :p

If she has a song like The Cure she promotes in the near future, it's possible.

Yeah I was trying to keep it over 5 years to not make it so cluttered. 

 

Added Taylor and Avril though. Also added Toni Braxton. :eli:

Avril :cries:

Xtina (one of the best vocalists; even if I don't stan, I miss her talent and her ballads) :cries:

Gwen (love No doubt, her first two albums... but... sis...) :cries:

RIP Nelly Furtado :cries:

 

It took 25 for Slowdive to release a new album.

And there are rumors that MBV will do the same, next year.

 

Edit: I just noticed the top 10 part, ignore the last part of my post lol

Yep, but I think MR deserved top 10 on Pop, I mean Praying hit top 10 and they're kinda similar (and helped extend Kesha's gap to almost 8 years!)

 

Back then who would have thought Gaga's gap would end being bigger on Hot AC than Pop (Just Dance 2009 - Million Reasons 2017) :eli:.

The way pop just dropped Bey is kinda criminal 

 

Justice for Countdown, End of Time, Love on Top, Drunk In Love, XO.

Kelly's first one was A Moment Like This in 2002 and her most recent one was Piece by Piece just last year, that makes 14 years not 9.

This is on Pop radio. PBP wasn’t Top 10 on Pop radio.

Yeah! and covering all those pop girls from the 80s and 90s would be hard work.

 

Selena Gomez counting LYLALS extends her gap to 5 years lol

 

Oh another pop gurls from the 90s are Céline Dion and Alanis Morissette, maybe they have some stans left in ATRL. :eli:

Alanis only spanned like 2 years. 2 years of straight slayage though. Lol. I’ll check on Selena Gomez & Celine. Adding Kylie Minogue too.

Here’s something interesting...

 

Celine Dion’s last chart date is the same as Beyonce’s first chart date (w/ DC) and Beyonce’s last chart date is the same as Kesha’s first chart date.
