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

In at least one Billboard R&B book that I have, they did credit Gladys' recordings with the Pips along with her solo recordings. So she ended up being placed at [[I think) at the #10 spot on the most popular R&B acts of all time. I gather they did that because except for their first hit, she always had billing. I noticed they did the same with Martha Reeves' solo recordings and Vandellas recordings.

That is the fairest way to do it in my opinion.
