I never hear Mariah's 90s songs aside from Hero. Looking up One Sweet Day last year was the first time I had ever heard the song.
That being said, her Emancipation songs are really good and I still hear a couple of them + Touch My Body from time to time. Elusive Chanteuse was a good album too.
Yeah Mariah is nowhere near of being a Legend like her stans like to think. Her albums were always critically panned, are now completely forgotten and her voice is gone. There's nothing to talk/remember her besides her diva antics.
You're a Lana Del Rey stan. Somehow you contributing a discussion on anyone's memorability after 1 album seems really odd
Madonna and Mariah came back, and managed to make classics + had hella talent. Britney is literally braindead, and will never come back. She lasted 1 decade, whereas Madonna + Mariah lasted for atleast 2 full decades. Whitney's career died after 15 years, but she was already so legendary because of the fact she has the greatest voice for a female singer in history. What voice does Britney have? She literally hired someone to sing on her own album.
I haven't seriously called Usher a legend. He's an icon overall, but his impact, relevance, and longevity in the R&B/Hip-Hop field (still going #1 after 18 years) without a doubt makes him an R&B Legend.
Dragging Usher's digital power also makes no sense, when R&B artists have no digital power, and he's released like 4 Pop singles.
Britney is a joke. Her whole career is literally forgotten after 15 years, and she didn't make it til 35. That is without a doubt far from 'legendary'.
You have absolutely no way of determining that. Anyone could of said when those women were in those eras that there was no chance of them coming back commercially. But they did. That's total speculation.
And, regardless of Usher's sales, Britney is one of the best selling digital artists in the US with singles, along with Beyonce and Eminem, they are the only three acts to have debuted prior to the digital era. So what's the point in dragging Britney's digital sales if they are strong enough to get her that far? Clearly you have to have a certain degree of relatively remembered singles if they sell that much (not saying they're 'ICONIC, GENRE DEFINING' singles blah blah or anything like that, just putting that out there).
And stop using age. It's like me saying that Britney having a massive career at 18 makes her better than Mariah, Madonna and Whitney who were still unknown and without a career at that age.
****, I ain't even calling her a legend. Besides, everyone and their mother throws that word around like crazy, don't pin it on one fan base.

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?...

I love Mariah, but you cannot rant about how forgotten Britney's old hits are and then defend hers.
Yes, Mariah who debuted a decade before and released 6 albums + a Live album + a GH before her debut. It's like trying to compare Meghan Trainor to Rihanna.
15 years into Mariah's career she had the biggest song of the decade. Britney can't even have a song chart for 10 weeks. Mariah's hits weren't forgotten 15 years into her career either.
