I love Ashanti!!!!

Except wasn't there a week when 50 Cent had 4 songs in the top 10? Or are you just talking about female artists?

With the gains, Adele makes history as the first female ever to place three titles in the Hot 100's top 10 concurrently as a lead artist. Only one other woman had ever claimed a 30% share of the top 10: Ashanti, who charted a trio of tracks in the top tier the weeks of March 30 and April 6 in 2002.She sported featured artist billing, however, on two of those entries.

This ks what the article says

I'm glad for Katy though, i really like the song!

Katy Perry also writes, composes and performs live, so I guess she is a 'true artist'. Anyway, she really is huge in America. A few of her songs have sold 5m+ there.

Adele is a traditional singer without the bells, whistles, remixes and general distractions from the vapidity and thinness of the actual music.

That doesn't make her more "real" though, that just makes her more straight-forward/conventional as an artist.

It's a shame that the most common compliment people have for Adele is an attempt to discredit other artists. Her gimmick truly seems to be the hype of not having a gimmick, it's nearly all that you hear about.

actually, ironically, in the song aint it funny the remix with jennifer lopez and ja rule, in that song ashanti provided background vocals for that song. so it would've been 4 songs had they include ashanti's name as well.

I hated the song at first but it really grew on me after the Superbowl performance.

I'm disappointed Madonna's doing so poorly. Is it because she's an older artist, do you think? Kate Bush is an older artist who doesn't really register on the charts any moore even though her matieral is so strong.

Adele's music isn't mainstream?

[...moving on]

Surprised to see Katy Perry's "Part of Me" do so well, was expecting top ten, not straight to #1! It is a good song though, I can't wait for a HQ version in the UK.

I think it is age. It's interesting, because I thought if any older female pop artist was going to have singles chart success, it would be Madonna.

But she has become an albums/touring artist now, like all the big rock artists; U2, Bruce, AC/DC, etc.

I think Madonna's had a good run. I agree she's joined the touring artists like U2, Springsteen, etc.

I don't think the 16-24 record buying public are interested - or perhjaps should be interested - in buying the music of a fiftysomething pop artist. That's not an ageist comment, just common sense.

She will always have an audience, just not her old 80s audience.

I totally see what you're saying, and it's not ageist and does make sense.

I think she's going to have a very successful tour this year...I'd be first in line to see her live again if she wasn't playing at Hyde Park, which is a horrible venue. I hope those who go have a great time, though.

I wouldnt write Madonna off yet...i mean she got to the top 10 Stateside after all and not promoted the song since.

Also with Wild as the next single I really hope it changes things up a bit....definitely the Dance charts Stateside...we will see.

I mean the grand majority of her fans anyway will buy MDNA....we are all excited for it! And Madonna will be promoting the album with single releases.

We will see what happens....but I wouldnt write her off yet never should tbh.

And Katy Perry always was headed for another number 1 Stateside to be honest....its a fun song though.

Yeah, Ashanti would've done it before 50 Cent, as he only broke into the mainstream in 2003.

Adele's songs get remixed too. She has dance remixes of Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain on UK iTunes, and songs like Hometown Glory and Set Fire to the Rain have rap remixes.

Might have to add here that the High Contrast remix of Hometown Glory is absolutely amazing.
