Way Back Wednesday: Divas Singing Divas

However, nobody could honor these women better than they can do for themselves so we have compiled a list of performances where they do just that by covering each other’s songs in ‘Divas Singing Divas’! Watch several of music’s most renowned women, including Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, cover each other’s songs as they paid tribute to each other below: Aretha Franklin Covers Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero’ Beyonce Covers Anita Baker’s ‘Sweet Love’ (‘Dangerously In Love’ Medley) Christina Aguilera Covers Whitney Houston’s ‘Run To You’ Mariah Carey Covers Patti Labelle’s ‘If Only You Knew’ & ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ Whitney Houston Covers Aretha Franklin’s ’A Natural Woman’ However, there is one performance that was not included above and it would be a crime if it was overlooked.

Way Back Wednesday: The 11 & Over Club. Rihanna shocked the world today when her latest single, ‘We Found Love’, ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and became her 11th #1 song on the tally.

However, the trendy Pop star is not the first act to achieve that feat. In fact, as Way Back Wednesday will highlight, 7 other artists have also matched that benchmark and even went beyond. Among the artists who have landed at least 11 #1 songs on the Hot 100 are The Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (18), Michael Jackson (13), Madonna (12), The Supremes (12) and Whitney Houston (11). Join us below as we remember some of the biggest hits from the members of the 11 & Over Club: Way Back Wednesday: Marvelous Male Vocalists. We previously reflected on the female vocalists who redefined the music industry but now it is time for Way Back Wednesday to celebrate their male counterparts.

Way Back Wednesday: Marvelous Male Vocalists

In an era where male singers use auto-tune as a crutch and otherwise mediocre performers, such as Trey Songz, are praised for relatively basic showings, this week’s feature has been devised to remind people of the true power of the male voice. So, let’s travel back to the age of Doo-wop to swing with the high notes of Frankie Lymon and then flashfoward through the decades with Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross and R. Kelly. Watch some of music industry’s best male vocalists perform below:

Way Back Wednesday: The Hip-Pop Revolution. Long before Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Drake rose to popularity, there was a group of artists who reformatted the music scene and laid the foundation for the success of almost every Urban act in the industry today.

Way Back Wednesday: The Hip-Pop Revolution

By mixing Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop in new ways, these performers helped to create a special subgenre that changed the landscape of popular culture – Hip-Pop. From the incredibly random yet exciting ‘Fantasy (Remix)’ collaboration between Mariah Carey and Ol’ Dirty Bastard to the innovative production styles of Missy Elliott and Timbaland, these were artists who opened the door for Hip-Hop to become a permanent fixture on mainstream radio. Indeed, the once despised Hip-Pop sound has become the dominant force in music today.

Check out some of the songs that defined the Hip-Pop Revolution in this special Way Back Wednesday below: Aaliyah – ‘Are You That Somebody? Janet Jackson – ‘Someone to Call My Lover (Remix) (Ft.
