Why these two divas and why Mariah? Well since Mariah’s debuted in 1990, she has earned 18 #1 singles on the hot 100 chart (the most ever by any solo artist) only following behind The Beatles who have achieved 20 chart toppers. Despite arriving 5 – 8 years behind some of her peers leading the industry, she’s managed to gain the respect of the masses as well as set and break records throughout her career at an astounding rate with her 13 studio albums and various compilations. It’s apparent that within only the last decade some mini divas are following in her league. In this short time span Britney has sold 100 million records, which is said to be half of what Mariah has acquired in half the time Carey has been recording. Rihanna in only 5 years have scored an impressive 9 #1 singles in a fourth of that time? If one could be given the distinction at such a pivotal point in both these ladies careers, who would you choose? Who measures up?
