Robin Thicke recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Charts with his smash, "Lost Without You", and became the first white male artist to hit No. 1 on the R&B charts since George Michael did it back in 1988 with "One More Try". Well, does anybody know, how many white female artists have hit No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts?, and which white female artist has been the most successful on the R&B charts?

How about Teena Marie ("Ooh La La La") in 1988?

The best answer is Michael Jackson  But I'll say MaDonna. |

Yeah, Lisa Stansfield has the most number ones (three) and Teena Marie is the most successful overall. I'd have to check, but I think those may be the only two solo white females to hit #1 R&B in the modern era (since 1965). Lesley Gore and Little Peggy March each had a #1 R&B before that.
(Surprisingly, Madonna only has one Top Ten R&B hit to her credit.)

Which MaDonna song was that? "Into the Groove?"

Nope... that peaked at #19. "Like A Virgin" was her biggest (#9), and "Vogue" (#16) and "Like A Prayer" (#20) were her only other Top 20 R&B hits.

Well mstgator, Teena Marie is the most successful white female artist in the history of the Billboard R&B charts. She had an amazing 24 songs that hit the R&B charts. Very impressive for a white female.
