Forbes recently released a list of the “Top 30 Female Vocalists of the 90s” in celebration of Women’s History Month. The ranking considered critical acclaim, impact on society, longevity, and commercial success during the decade. The list sparked discussion among music fans, with some surprising omissions and placements. I’m not sure who at Forbes put this list together but they didn’t get it right.

Here are the top 10

1 – Mariah Carey

2 – Janet Jackson

3 – Whitney Houston

4 – Shania Twain

5 – Leanne Rimes

6 – Toni Braxton

7 – Celine Dion

8 – Madonna

9 – Mary J. Blige

10 – Sheryl Crow

Other notable entries include Lauryn Hill (#12), Brandy (#16), Queen Latifah (#21), Erykah Badu (#23), and Christina Aguilera (#28).
