:: Indeed it would be alarming. And all the parts are given there - in particular, the size of the population in question. And so we must now find out how many Australian, European, American, Latin American, South American ... singers, day time television stars, actresses, and models at some minimum level of fame (admit it - you don't know who 75% of the people in the list are) there are of various ages over the past 5 decades. At that point you can start looking at how many people are working in that particular mine. I would contend that for the population given that covers the list given, it is in the tens of thousands of people. --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 16:26, 20 May 2008 (EDT)

Working with Mr. Schlafly's 50 under 30 estimate, I've compiled a list of 50 of the best selling female music stars under 30 years old (born after May 1978). This is not an exact list, but all of the following are among the 50 most popular female musicians under 30, and I'm sure well over half of them are indiputable in the current top 50. (No particular order, though obviously some of the biggest are mentioned first):
#Britney Spears
#Christina Aguilera
#Jessica Simpson
#Ashlee Simpson
#Rihanna
#Amy Winehouse
#Kelly Clarkson
#Lilly Allen
#Beyonce Knowles
#Kelly Rowland
#Michelle Williams
#Kate Nash
#Hillary Duff
#Vanessa Carlton
#Michelle Branch
#Miley Cyrus
#Lindsay Lohan
#Vanessa Hudgens
#Leann Rimes
#Jordan Sparks
#Mandy Moore
#Mary Kate Olsen
#Ashley Olsen
#Jamie Lynn Spears
#Ashley Tisdale
#Pink
#Avril Lavigne
#Carrie Underwood
#Fantasia Barrino
#Kellie Pickler
#Nelly Furtado
#Natasha Bedingfield
#Alicia Keyes
#Norah Jones
#Ashanti
#Mya
#Kelis
#Duffy
#Kelly Osbourn
#Joss Stone
#Tegan Quin
#Sara Quin
#Colbie Caillot
#Cassie
#Ciara
#Katherine McPhee
#Lady Sovereign
#Haylie Duff
#Sara Barilles
#Leona Lewis
So that confirms there are at least 50 popular female pop stars in the genres of rock, pop, and country and in the English speaking world (I'm not going to start looking for young pop stars in China, India, Japan, and other places that I'm sure have many such singers we'll never hear of). All of these, I'm pretty sure, are currently under 30. I don't know of any who have breast cancer, but I don't know that they don't. If we can identify a significant number of them who do, or identify others not on this list who maybe should be who do have breast cancer, we can have some numbers to work with. They will not be exact, and won't in themselves confirm any hypothesis, but they will be a good start, and give us something to work with. After all, the title of this is "mystery"; it doesn't claim to give definite answers and we shouldn't demand any at this stage.
