Lisa loeb 199512/10/2023 ![]() I’m curious how many albums she’s sold with all of the touring. Over the last year, Lisa has made many, appearances and performed as various events and venues.

I remember, back in November of last year, someone wrote you asking about “The Way It Really Is” and if it had charted.

However, she only hit the Hot 100’s top 20 once, in 1976 with her No. However, he only hit the Hot 100 twice.įemale singer Candi Staton charted 28 singles on the R&B chart - with six of them going top 10. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart in 1984 with “Lovelite,” and also charted eight other singles. Vocalist O’Bryan (aka O’Bryan Burnett) hit No. Grammy winner Stephanie Mills only had one top 10 Hot 100 hit, but has charted 29 entries on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with five of those hitting No. There are many acts that were very big in the ’80s (and earlier) who still had a respected and fruitful career - but never crossed over to the pop charts.
