imahunter 299 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 There are many factors to this: including: -Total album and record sales they are responsible for(ex: Diana Ross is a huge part of The Supremes) -Tours -Classics -Wealth -Movies -Cultural Impact -Grammys -Other Awards -Iconic Moments -Overall Power -Hit songs they are responsible for -How well magazines do when their face is on the cover -Perfumes -Many other things Discuss. I would say #1 is Madonna since her impact was Global and not just local Then I would say 2-Mariah Carey 3- Whitney Houston 4-Beyonce (lacks classics but she's still on her peak) 5-Britney Spears (1998-2003) Link to post Share on other sites

Dita 5,091 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 CHRISTINA AGUILERA: While not as successful in recent years as her contemporaries she has still had a successful career spanning 14 years. -Total album and record sales they are responsible for(ex: Diana Ross is a huge part of The Supremes) Close to/more than 100million in which half are album sales. -Tours 2 international tours grossing over 90million USD if not more. -Classics Many of her songs from Stripped and some of her collabs have became iconic. Beautiful still remains an LGBT anthem. -Wealth This bitch made 15 million dollars sitting on her ass this year. She also has her features in recent years and solo success with her earlier body of work. Her perfume business is also a massive seller and she has had many sponsorship deals over the year for car companies, soft drink products and clothing, including her own South American collection which was very successful. -Movies While Burlesque didn't set the world on fire, she still got her money for it and her performance was praised. Since then X has also said that she has been receiving scripts. -Cultural Impact Xtina was one of the first pop stars along with Britney, but she soon forged her way on to making her own kind of music. Her cultural impact is undeniable as her voice has inspired a long list of vocalists and pop starlets including Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus etc. -Grammys 5 time grammy winner, one of which is from the Latin grammys. She also claimed the infamous best new artist grammy in the competitive nominees of 1999. -Other Awards She has won many awards from her music, but most importantly she has been honoured for other bodies of work. She has been honoured by Hilary Clinton for her charity work, Muhammad Ali for being an amazing humanitarian and earlier this year was on Time100 most inspirational artists. She is also a critically acclaimed vocalist and one of the best singers of all time. -Iconic Moments Xtina has had many iconic moments, some good and some bad. You can go from the 2004 VMA performance with Brit and Madonna to the Superbowl incident. -Overall Power Whilst Xtina's power has diminished in the pop world in recent years, she is rising up those rankings once more as she prepares to record the make it break it album Lotus wasn't. Her power in this industry was last at it's highest during 2007 in terms of commercial success, but the Voice and hit features have kept Her on everyones mind. -Hit songs they are responsible for Most of her own songs she co wrote. Also this year she was responsible for the hit 'Say Something' so much so it was changed to a duet billing and is on it's way to becoming 2 x platinum. -How well magazines do when their face is on the cover She has the 3 highest selling Maxim magazines and her Rolling Stones cover was also a high seller as well as countless others. -Perfumes Her perfume brand is one of the most awarded out of all the pop girls and has been a consistent seller, especially in Europe.

Xtina didnt even make top 15 best selling females of the last decade. Lbr she isn't even top 20. She simply didnt release enough/work hard enough in her 20s. She took 4 year breaks between albums. Anyway, its her own fault. But too late now to even ever go top ten. Link to post Share on other sites
