There are way more popular female acts from the 70s onwards that would take several hands to count on.
There aren't THAT few. They just simply aren't talked about much on this board because we pretty much just deal with current artists. But yeah, generally they don't stick around like say Southern All Stars. Many of them left the entertainment industry to raise families.
But anyways, you'd think you'd at least see a few more females on the womens list of rankings, but it is dominated by men as well. I think that might have to do with a general shortage of female talent that are really great that people are interested in at the moment. We need some fresh blood on the female side that not only will do well publicly but that will have real talent to back it up. There hasn't been really any new female talent to come out that I've been super impressed by for at least a few years now expect for Shiho the singer from Superfly - but even then, she's not gaining the popularity she should. I wonder when the next big female star will come and who it will be?

I'm amazed no one from NEWS is on it, either.

Yamashita Tomohisa at least made the list voted by teen girls. But really, what has NEWS done lately thats very popular outside of the usual Johnny's fan base?
