Ross broke through in the 1960s as a founding member of the Motown group The Supremes. Her work has sold more than 100 million copies since then and a 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy.
Ross released 24 solo studio albums since 1970, with 17 breaking into the Billboard Top 40. With The Supremes, she released 18 studio albums with 12 No. 1 singles.

She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of The Supremes in 1988.
In 1993, the “Guinness Book of World Records” named her the most successful female music artist in history due to her success in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
