the artists above are the only ones who apply to this formula all the songs they consecutively released hit the top 10 with out any interruption for example all the songs lady gaga released from 2008-2011 hit the top 10 and her streak wasn't interrupted until marry the night wasn't able to hit the top10 now the case with katy perry,whitney,madonna and others mentioned in your list is completely different because at one point their streak was interrupted and this's official according to billboard this's the true meaning of consecutive maybe you could put the source of your info

Okay.... That Billboard article was about career opening streaks. This thread is about a streak at any time of someone's career.

By definition my OP is correct.
There is no brake between point A and point B. Point A doesn't neccesarily have to be their debut single, and usually isn't. As long as there is no brake between
between the two points it is consecutive. It's okay to have a break before point A because that just ended a different streak and now then they started a new one.
Look at like this, you go to school Monday through Friday. That's five consecutive days. There's no brake between Monday and Friday.
