After noticing the varying opinions in this post - I wanted to see who you all think the top 10 black female artist of the 00s are. I based my decision on album sales, single sales, awards, touring, impact (music, culture, fashion), charting and overall success both in the U.S. and internationally.

My top 10 below:

1. Beyoncé
2. Rihanna
3. Alicia Keys
4. Mariah Carey
5. Mary J. Blige
6. Janet Jackson
7. Missy Elliot
8. Ashanti
9. Lil Kim
10. Aaliyah / Ciara

This is my first thread, so keep it cute on me if you don't agree. List your top 10 below.

I agree, sis.

That looks just about perfect.

Where is Adele on this list

Where is Cassie though? She's not 100% black but...

Looks correct to me.

OMG Adele is black and I didnt knew?

I'd put Nicki above Ashanti and Alicia above Rihanna then I agree

You need more than one hit to be eligible

Alicia Keys
Rihanna
Beyonce

for me

That looks pretty good to me.

your list looks perfect
