I've compiled the list of biggest female hitmakers this millennium. I used UWC. Even if it's not official, it does represent the biggest songs WW.

1 song = 1 point

Some female artists had multiple top 10 hits in one week, so don't get confused if some have 52+ points in one year.

Duca

La Tortura

Notorious K.E.N

La Tortura
