Do you know the last Swiss Top 20 entry (apart from Tina Turner). Not sure Nemo will get there this week, but it would be interesting to know.

As noted by Rich in the streaming thread there were 2 in 2007: Yves Larock - Rise Up and Samim - Heater. Not sure if there are any since then aside from Tina. |

Oliver $ and Jimi Jules had a No 15 hit in September 2014 with Pushing On: Jimi Jules is a Swiss DJ. Oliver Dollar is German. |

^Do you know anything about Robert Miles? cos I remember discussing it a few yers ago with my friend who is Swiss
and for what they explained everybody thinks Robert Miles is Italian but his family had actually emigrated and he was born in Switzerland I remember we tried to search online and there was no proper info on what passport he held I think must sites assume he's Italian cos he had Italian name and surname but not sure what his passport was officially |

"Children". |

How are you deciding where at act is from? I know that Tina Turner was a Swiss citizen in her later years but for the majority of her career she was an American citizen and I would always count her as an American artist. Are you counting her as Swiss or American?

Are you counting her as Swiss or American? Quite definitely from the USA, born and bred to two USA parents. She adopted Swiss nationality for tax reasons only, which did not change her quintessential American blood. |
