Is Kylie the only act to have had a top 5 hit in the last 4 decades?
All The Lovers hit #3 in 2010, just wondered if anyone else has had a top 5 hit in 1980s, 90s, 00's and 10's?
Also, is she the only female singer to have had 4 decades of top 10 hits? Would love someone to educate me!

Mariah wasn't around in the 80s (her first UK hit was in 1990 - Vision Of Love) Madonna I'm not sure she has had a Top 5 hit in this decade so far (10s) Edit: Am I right in saying though that Cliff Richard had a number one single in each decade from the 50s through to the 90s? |

Jacko died in 2009 so I don't think he has had any re-releases in this current decade

it all sounds very impressive on paper, but some of her top 10 hits since the millennium haven't sold very well at all, i was quite shocked at some of the sales for her singles here in the uk. i was also rather surprised to learn the sales of "all the lovers", her only top 10 hit this decade. the way her fans have kept on about it being her biggest hit in years and how it would have been #1 with simultaneous format releases, i assumed it would have at least sold enough to be certified gold.

Her last top 5 hit was Celebration in 2009. Is there anyone else who could have done it?

During the early noughties with her new renaissance as it were sales were at an all time low, some number ones during that period have never even sold enough to be certified silver she is not alone. And curiously whilst ATL was a monumental hit it hasn't gone Gold no I think it's sales are around 350K which is no small number either.

To answer the OP's original question... Yes. She is the only female artist to have Top 5 hits in each of the last 4 decades.
However, she is also the 1st female artist to have #1 albums in each of the past 4 decades, until Madonna 2 years later. If she has a #1 with any of her new singles this year, she'll also be the only female artist again to have #1 singles in each of the past 4 decades. With only Madonna able to catch her. |

Michael Jackson's last Top 10 hit was in 2010 with Hold My Hand (Feat. Akon).

Yes! Jacko had #10 with Hold My Hand!
No other artist has had a top 5 hit though over the past 4 decades yet... I wouldn't count Madonna out yet though! |

well perhaps the op should clarify. it just seems a bit pointless to start a thread about a two horse race, when many people already know the outcome, if that is the case.

Your wrong about her singles since the millennium not selling very well.
lets just see how her new material performs before we get too cocky about her sales record shall we? although, she has changed management in yet another desperate bid to crack the us and she has taken over from jessie j on the voice to peddle her wares, now chart radio have abandoned her.

if you had just read my post properly and spotted that i used the word "some", there would have been no need for this lengthy response.

Did any of Whitney Houston's go back in the top 5 when she died? Or does that not count?

well you don't have to be mystic meg to predict she will go to great lengths to secure another hit single and that plenty of money will be thrown at her next album campaign. i would say her success is inevitable, rather than something to watch out for.

WOW.
Impressive. Well done Kylie. You tend to forget she's had 34 UK top ten hits which is so damn respectable. Good on her. She also comes across as genuinely nice and tends to under play her achievements. Really looking forward to the new campaign and The Voice. |

Ok then! I'm just saying her career isn't dead and buried yet! I hope she has alot more success as she such a lovely person and has bags of talent. And the more money thrown at her future products the better. It is her job and career at the and of the day so I'm sure she would like lots of money thrown at her new projects and for them to be successful like every company and person in life who wants to earn a living. She's only human at the end of the day. Good for her doing the voice and working hard to stay a success and for having ambition to succeed in other countries and terrrioritys round the globe. To be successful and noticed is what every human being would like is it not and Kylies worked harder than anyone for that success o good luck to her I say.
Hey. I understand what you were trying to say and I agree her achievements are brilliant when you sit down and think about it. I don't think you're being cocky at all and I really enjoyed your long response. It was informative. Good on her and good luck to her. |
