Fonte: Acclaimed Music — que contabiliza listas de críticos (fim de ano, década, all-time etc.). Como ele não tem dados de 2020 pra frente, utilizei o AOTY para esta década.
Critério: apenas artistas femininas, grupos femininos ou bandas com vocais principais exclusivamente femininos.
(O número entre parênteses indica a posição na lista geral que inclui artistas masculinos.)
