Ahead of 2025’s Women in Music celebration, to be held Saturday, March 29, at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, Billboard has ranked the top-performing artists, albums and songs of the first 25 years of the century since 2000. While the track marked Braxton’s biggest singles highlight of the era, the hitmaker landed nine new albums on the Billboard 200 over 2000-20, displaying her range through works of contemporary tunes ( Pulse and Libra, for example), holiday fare ( Snowflakes) and vintage R&B with her self-described “musical husband,” Babyface ( Love, Marriage and Divorce).
