The Metacritic score is just for reference. I looked it up and none of the artist above made Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list or the list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you die. Also none are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame so in the regard they are all on a level playing field.
Who do you think has the strongest discography/body of work (as a SOLO artist)?
Ciara to be honest, all her albums are very solid and she is vocally talented. All the others have albums that have many fillers/not good songs. You forgot Goodies and Rihanna's first two albums though
