Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Annie Lennox uses that range
Two clear gears: a dark, fully chested bottom that stays resonant near G2, and a hard-edged mid belt topping out around Eb5 that gets its bite from tall, slightly covered vowels rather than from shouting. Vibrato is withheld — long notes sit straight and only open up in the final moment. Onsets are firm and precise, with no scooping, and phrases are cut off cleanly. Above the belt the tone thins into head voice. That edge is built in the vowel, never in the throat.

- 6 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- Roughly 16% of the span sits above the cited full-voice ceiling of D#5.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 205th lowest voice in this library; by top note, the 266th highest.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
