Mariah has more than her share of memorable songs so please shut up with 'she has 2 memorable songs' drag.
AIWFCIY is the most recurrent female song ever, so she wins from that alone. Hero, Always Be My Baby, and Fantasy are her next T3 recurrent songs in US -- all have went Gold digitally, despite being released over 20 years ago with ABMB nearing Platinum.
WBT has 100 million views on VEVO + I'll Be There, Hero, and Without You receive nice airplay in Europe. Emotions & Vision of Love still have their moments of being brought up due to the vocal power and influence on female singers.
Age is VERY important. Madonna, Mariah, Whitney, Celine, etc were all able to spin out successful albums and strong hits around the age of 35, if not, past it. If Britney's whole career is more than forgotten, she has almost a 0 chance of spinning another hit, and she personally has no more talent at 33 than why would she be a legend? I mean the fact the Army also likes to sit and say Beyonce isn't a legend when damnwell, she arguably churned out the biggest album of her career, is more talented than ever, and her music has evolved more than ever at 33 why would Britney EVER be a legend?
If you aren't calling her a legend, then why exactly are you sitting here mad at me saying she's not one?...
What does age have to do with anything? Some of the biggest legends in history died in their 20s and after only a few years in the business
