Male Latin heartthrob: Emmanuel replaced Julio Iglesias, and Luis Miguel replaced Emmanuel.

Female Latin singers: Gloria Estefan replaced Vikki Carr.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Orange means the artist didn't lose relevancy following their replacement but just not on the same level as their peak

I don't know about popularity, but I will contribute as far as replaced or rather copied and ran with it.

As far as female rap artist

Nicki modeled her craziness/corkiness after Missy, her blantant sexuality and alternative style after Lil Kim.

Lady Gaga is nothing more than this generation's Madonna

Keyshia Cole is like MJB in regards to her "heartbeak" song moments are more commercially received than her "life is great" song moments

Chris Brown and MJ

Miquel and Prince

Alicia Keys and Roberta Flack (piano) Lauryn Hill and Roberta Flack (vocals)

*I know you said only go back to the 80's but I have to include these....*

Destiny Child (as a trio) and The Supremes (original line up)

New Edition and The Temptations
