note: biggest single is decided in terms of the R&B chart; Grammy win is used to weight biggest single as well; only releases from artists' albums count (i.e., not "I'll Be Missing You" for Faith).
It's interesting-- the artists who's biggest single is their first single, have had less long-run across-the-board success, except for Mariah.
I NEVER KNEW MARIAH ONLY HAS THOSE TWO GRAMMYS! How did she never win more?
