Here's an updated look at the top 10 women with the most visits to the Billboard Hot 100, with Madonna and Minaj both upping their counts by one this week, june 25,2015:
73, Aretha Franklin
69, Taylor Swift
63, Nicki Minaj
57, Madonna
56, Dionne Warwick
53, Connie Francis
49, Rihanna
48, Brenda Lee
47, Mariah Carey
43, Miley Cyrus
It certainly doesn't reflect the level of talent that's for sure.
Nicki Minaj? Miley Cyrus? I am no Taylor Swift fan but I acknowledge she is a force to Be reckoned with at the moment. It's frightening that Gladys, Diana, Whitney, Streisand, Celine are not there when you see some of the people who are.
Gladys and Diana no doubt were not included when it said Gladys Knight and the Pips and Diana Ross and the Supremes

I noticed they did the same with Martha Reeves' solo recordings and Vandellas recordings.Quote:
