So I thought it would be nice to have a thread showing the amount of #1 singles all the major pop girls have in each important music market and this is what I have so far. Please note that this thread only includes acts who made their commercial debut during the past 20 years (1995-2015). To make this more accurate, non-official and radio charts aren't counted (example: Brazil Hot 100)
I got pretty much every main pop girl covered but if you want me to add someone (who debuted during the past 20 years) post here and I'll add them!

I knew she's global but not that global, especially when it was harder to top the charts back then.
