Ashlee Simpson seeks Diana Ross' help to reignite career

[soulster]

If we're talking US Hot 100 singles, let's take a look at the other veterans.

Not a whole hell of a lot in the last 10, 15, almost 20 years for these folks:


Aretha Franklin's last "hit" was "Here We Go Again" [[#76, 1998)

Patti LaBelle's last "hit" was "When You Talk About Love" [[#56, 1997)

Dionne Warwick's last "hit" was "What The World Needs Now" [[#87, 1998)

Gladys Knight's last "hit" was "Missing You" [[#25, 1996)

Tina Turner's last "hit" was "Missing You" [[#84, 1996)

Cher's last "hit" was "Song For The Lonely" [[#85, 2002)

Barbra Streisand's last "hit" was "I Finally Found Someone" [[#8, 1996)

Do we honestly believe any of these women will hit the Hot 100 again?

Oh, it's very possible! Same with some of the men, like Rod Stewart, who's been releasing excellent standards albums for a decade that have been wildly successful, despite the horror from his old fanbase that wants a reunion album with Faces.

What kind of albums has Ross been releasing? And, don't count out Ashlee Simpson. With the way today's pop market is, she could get herself back on the charts. All it takes is the right music and producers. I also don't believe for a minute the mess the OP started this thread with.
