PAINTING THE TOWN: Pink surprisingly was a dominant entrant in the 100 Hottest Female Artists.

N response to the exclusively male Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, the Hummingbird 100 is an all-female music list with some interesting inclusions.

Perhaps least surprising is the No.1 song, Aretha Franklin’s Respect, which was deemed the best song by a woman according to the majority of the 62,000 votes cast.

But there were a few eyebrow-raisers, not least P!nk at number two with So What? followed by Lady Gaga’s Poker Face (six), Fergie’s Big Girls Don’t Cry (eight) and Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl which came in at No.12.

Madonna scores two top-10 mentions (Like A Prayer and Like A Virgin at five and 10 respectively) while Amy Winehouse doesn’t get a nod until No.76 (Rehab).

Pink, meanwhile, claims the most spots of any female artist with seven tracks inside the 100. Beyonce, Roxette and Madonna both have four and Blondie, Rihanna and Alanis Morissette have three apiece. Notable omissions include Eva Cassidy, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, Eartha Kitt, Nina Simone, Judy Garland and Britney Spears.
