Nelly Furtado is missing so it seems: at least 6,5 according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelly_Furtado_discography

Not to be pedantic, but technically Sade released music as a band named after their singer (Sade, obviously). The other three band members were men.

Is Kesha with 4 times platinum and 2 times gold ready for this list? Or are extended plays not included?
it’s based on album sales on riaa.com and was last updated a little bit ago, not sure if she qualifies now or not.
SWV is an all girl group that fits the 5X criteria. That’s the only omission that jumped out at me.
SWV’s albums come in at 4.5 certifications, just short (It’s About Time 3x, New Beginning 1x, Release Some Tension 0.5x).
