I was trying to find a list that compiled stats for all the popular pop girls on the Australian singles chart like we do with the US' Hot 100, but couldn't really find any.
(If there is one, this thread was a waste of time
) So I thought I would compile it myself; however, I need help with suggestions of female artists that may have made a sizeable impact on the charts so I can gather their information and add it (or you can!
![:)](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/smile.gif)
). I know ATRL is home to lots of fans of female artists and have generally knowledgeable chart interest, so I thought this would be the perfect place to ask. (I also figured I'd post it in Base as opposed to Charts because it is a work in progress and not anything "official".)
The list below is the artist's information I have already done and will keep updated as people add suggestions. To keep it organized I will put them in order by a point system:
- 1 point awarded for each song that enters the Top 40.
- An additional point is awarded if that song enters the Top 20.
- An additional 2 points are awarded if that song then enters the Top 10.
(The reason I have chosen to double the points here is because most people consider a Top 10 song to be a "true" hit in most cases. Yes, there are times when a Top 20 is a bigger hit than a Top 10, just as a Top 10 is sometimes bigger than a #1, but for the purpose of this compiling we are generalizing success this way.)
- Finally, an additional 2 points is awarded if the song hit #1.
The point system is just something I'm using to categorize the artists general success level, it is not to suggest that because Artist A has 3 more points than Artist B, they are now the bigger artist in singles there. Please don't argue over it.
Please keep new additions to artists with
at least two top 10s to keep the list clutter free.
Groups are not allowed by themselves or to be counted for individual members.
Features are allowed, but
songs such as "Stand Up!" or "We Are The World 2.0", where they are not actually listed as an artist when the song charted,
DO NOT count.
Thank you for any help or comments in advance!
