Tina Turner

Tina Turner’s electric stage presence and resilience earned her the title Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll, but her commercial peak is unmatched among female rock artists. Her 1984 comeback album, *Private Dancer*, sold over 20 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling female rock record of the 1980s. This was a stunning reversal after a decade of solo struggle, outpacing the album sales of Joni Mitchell’s entire catalog during that period. Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It” became a global anthem, selling 2 million singles.
