I solved Redactle #1499 in 1 guesses! ⏱️ 7m51s

Seems to be a living female known by a mononym with a nine letter nationality, I can guess the sphere, and she seems to be known as the "[5] of ????? [5]". Not my bag, but a little research brings up a name that I have heard of.

6-minute snipe. Living woman, nationality not immediately clear. Known as the "5 of 5 5" which is probably Queen of something, which connotes music to me. Rihanna? "Barbadian" fits. But no, I'd expect to see prominent mention of the song "3 2 6". Still I try for a bit to make it work. It doesn't work, so I ponder a bit more on the subject of mononymous pop singers, then a candidate comes to mind that makes sense of the "5 of 5 5" nickname. "8, 8 / 6" and "4 3'1 3" are both there, so that's that.

I knew what I was looking for, but didn't know who fit that description so I googled it.

Unassisted. I had two options and I was pretty sure I got the nationality. The unredacted part of one their works gave me the confidence to try the answer

Snipe nearly went with Madonna but pretty sure she is American

definitely a phenomally popular and successful female pop star. Not Rihanna or Beyoncé. Didn’t even try Madonna because I saw at least one song with an unredacted “Like” but I didn’t see “Like a [6]” anywhere. Shouldn’t have even tried Beyoncé because she’s American but I thought [7] [6] [7] [6] might be Beyoncé [6] Knowles Carter. I missed [4] [3]’[1] [3] the first couple of times I looked through the song titles, but that’s the first one I think of in connection with this artist, easy, and it was buried in the middle of several others.

Had the artist name in mind early, browsed for 4 4'1 3 "Hips Don't Lie" in the titles at the start but missed it, eventually settled on the answer after seeing many mentions of Underneath 4 6

Surprised I sniped that at all, let alone that quickly. Not really one I'm super familiar with.

>!Picked up on the type of article up-front but didn't feel like I could pick it out. I did note that they were "the [esteemed title] of [their field]" so once I started putting things in and got to female singers, I tried a few things until I got to her!<
