New answer: The highest note (to my knowledge) ever sung was high G#5 in the closing notes of Lady Grinning Soul (Aladdin Sane album, 1973).
And the lowest is a C2 in the opening line of Sweet Thing (Diamond Dogs album, 1974).
For the
skeptics who have accused Bowie of vocal tinkering in the studio, there is a YouTube video of a live performance from the era, here

Jeff Buckley had an ethereal voice & an incredible range. He was a a light lyric tenor capable of extending his range upward through use of falsetto. (A tenor's range in the bass clef spans middle C to high F) Jeff's actual range was four octaves.
It has been said that Christina Aguilera has four octaves exactly. Other sources report that she has climbed out of that going even a little further such as four octaves and a half. She has a lower register. The belting register, the falsetto, and the whistle register. She hardly ever uses the whistle register notes as you can recall in some live performances or even recorded sessions. Some artist may have more octaves than Christina may have, but she has more power in the ones that she does have.

It is extremely rare for a person to be able to match their voice to every key on the piano. Not many people have a vocal range above an octave. Many professional singers can not sing more than two octaves. Three octaves is quite difficult. Four octaves is rare. And five octaves makes the history books.
A normal vocal range for singers typically spans from about one and a half to two octaves, but this can vary depending on the individual's voice type and training.

Technically Mariah Carey has a stronger vocal range, ranking at 5 octaves, from A2 to G#7. Christina Aguilera has a vocal range of 4 octaves, from C3 to C7. Both, however, are amazingly proficient singers, and I personally like Christina's voice better.
