Mr. Wonder

I came into this thread looking for the exact same thing.

Counted 70.

It's very telling that Janet's are consecutive while covering the same timeframe of the selected Madonna albums.

Does it give "global"?

Still a poor position to take. Janet and Madonna did not perform like their female predecessors, largely because they didn't possess the vocal prowess to do so, and that was the standard for performances for that time (pre -1982). Back then, those women just stood at the mic and sung. Janet and Madonna have practically written the book on live performing and visual artistry, and directly explains why artists - both male and female - are expected to have large productions in their performances and a strong visual component to their artistry.

BOMT wouldn't be possible without Wannabe. So that alone, Wannabe > BOMT. The song is currently being used in ads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLyv4j1bwBU

Between Stevie and Marvin. I'd give Stevie the edge on catalog.

Well here's a second person who didn't lie.

Celine is bigger than Madonna worldwide.

There's no way this actually happened.

This was in July, by a singer in the UK. So much for being "forgotten". So much for being "local".

18 > 16. All day, every day.

A tour can't be "global" if it didn't go to all the inhabitable continents.

Two classics. Love to see it.

Oh it happens all the time. You must be new to atrl.

Your position couldn't be anymore clear.

The fact that you took umbrage with my statement is probably why this policy had to be implemented in the first place.

The shade here is thick, like racial tension in America.

White artists being recognized as "global" without argument, but black and POC artists' international popularity is questioned/denied despite irrefutable facts.

Prince has like 20 top ten hits. I expect him to be top 10. And now that I think, Max Martin will probably be #1.

I'm guessing Stevie Wonder will be #1? Very few of his top 10 hits have cowriters.

It's based on Hot 100 + BB 200 performance. https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/business/chart-beat/8543378/billboard-top-125-artists-of-all-time-the-beatles?__twitter_impression=true

Janet should be embarrassed. RN1814 is closer to 9x platinum. It has moved 8.5 million as of 2011. And to think Janet's numbers are just hard sales without streaming added.

You ain't slick.

ATRL sat up here and said....never mind.
