I think Mary J Blidge started the whole thing. For a while she was bigger than any title. No one could touch Real Love. If Michel'le built the throne, then Mary J assumed it.
I would put Missy in there. For a hot minute, everyone wanted to work with her.
I would put Eve in instead of Ciara. Ciara didn't stay around long enough or really have enough sucess to really make a claim at the title. I would say that in the Vanessa Millian/Ciara/Ashanti tussel for dominance, there was no clear, undisputed winner until Eve trumped all of them. Eve got hot quick, had long lasting singles and collaborations, and has had some success in Hollywood. Plus, I saw a snippet of her sex tape, so I can't let this list pass without mentioning her.
I though Rah Digga would have had a better career than she had, but it goes to show that I am no nostradamus.
Aaliyah predates Mary J. I'm actually a big Mary J fan, but I ended up leaving her out because I don't think she fits the bill of what I'm trying to get across. Maybe she does. It's kinda like you said though, she was bigger than the title
