VH1 has unveiled their Top 100 Women in Music list...which is sure to inspire some heated debate. Hard to argue with #1 being Madonna. Seems like they skipped anyone prior to the 80's.

GET THE FULL LIST HERE and see how your favorite artists did.

Some of the most popular songs of the last 20 years were offered to other groups before they were recorded.  Can you imagine passing up a HUGE #1 record? That's exactly what happened with some of these songs...for instance: 'Baby One More Time' went from TLC to Britney Spears! TLC were way too grown for teen pop when they were offered this song, opting for mature tracks like 'Waterfalls' instead. 'One More Time' became a career rocket-launcher for Spears, and it midwifed the rebirth of bubblegum. Chalk up another one for Britney!
