In terms of sales+media+popularity (excluding artistry and impact), who was the ultimate IT girl WW?

Madonna: LAP + Vogue + Immaculate Collection + Blond Ambition Tour
Janet: RN1814 slayage + RN Tour
Mariah: Debut hype + Emotions
Paula: America's sweetheart + multiple #1 smash hits

It's between Mariah or Madonna. I wasn't old enough to know, so I can't say.

Janet

It was Janet with her 7 hits, highly influential music and videos, 15 million selling album, acclaim, 9 grammy noms and most successful debut tour ever.

That's why Madonna got so mad at her.

Janet. I mean the Gorls can deny it all they want, but stats don't lie

Janet as she had 3 hit songs in 3 calandar years. Rhythmn Nation was massive but I think Mariah beat out Come Back To Me from getting the number one spot going to number 2 in 1990.

Where is Whitney tho

No

The Bodyguard happened in '92

Between Madge and Janet ...

Britney but Janet is a close second

Queen Whitney had 2 number ones, two top twentys & another top ten. But ha peak was 4 years before

Straight Up, it was Paula

You think she did not do anything else before that?

Janet
Mariah's debut was only the beginning of slayage

Jenna Jameson

Rhythmn Nation made two girls (publicized) go to school and got her a mickey mouse in disneyland dressed like her in the video.



Impact.
