6. Skyfall (2012)

9. Someone Like You (2011)
10. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) (2016)
11. Make You Feel My Love (2010)
12. When We Were Young (2015)
(all based on chart performance in my charts, red = one million +, blue = 500,000+, purple = 250,000+.
Only acts with 12 songs released in the 21st century which made my personal charts qualify. Just the lists, no commentary from me it takes too long!
Don't think her label would go for a Greatest Hits,
then people would stop buying 19,21,25 and that's the last thing the label wants
same reason why nobody is releasing GH anymore (Coldplay, Rihanna, Beyonce,...)
AKON
1. THE SWEET ESCAPE Gwen Stefani featuring Akon 2007
2. HOLD MY HAND Michael Jackson featuring Akon 2010
3. I WANNA LOVE YOU (featuring Snoop Dogg) 2007

ALI CAMPBELL & UB40
1. BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN (2013)
2. LEAN ON ME (2020)
3. SWING LOW featuring United Colours Of Sound (2003)
4. LIGHT MY FIRE (2000)

6. I’M MISSING YOU Ali Campbell (2015)
7. SILHOUETTE Ali Campbell (2014)
8. KISS AND SAY GOODBYE (2005)
9. SHE LOVES ME NOW (2018)
10. A PLACE IN THE SUN (2018)
11. MIDNIGHT RIDER (2013)
12. OUT FROM UNDER Ali Campbell (2009)
Various combinations of personnel during the 21st century after 20 years with an unchanged lineup in the 20th century and 20 years of non-stop lite-reggae and social-commentary reggae hits. Mostly cover versions in the last 20 years and obviously still appealing to me over the whole last 20 years even if not in the actual charts.
ALICIA KEYS
1. EMPIRE STATE OF MIND/ PART 2 Jay-Z & Alicia Keys (2010)
2. FALLIN' (2001)
3. ANOTHER WAY TO DIE Jack White & Alicia Keys (2008)
4. YOU DON'T KNOW MY NAME (2003)
5. MY BOO/ CONFESSIONS PART II Usher featuring Alicia Keys (2005)
6. IT'S ON AGAIN featuring Kendrick Lamarr (2014)
7. TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART (2010)
8. GANGSTA LOVIN Eve featuring Alicia Keys (2002)
9. BRAND NEW ME (2013)
10. IF I AIN'T GOT YOU (2004)
11. GIRL ON FIRE (2012)
12. IN COMMON Alicia Keys (2016)
Empire State Of Mind part 2 was included in the same run as Empire State Of Mind with Jay-Z cos it's not as good and at no stage would it have charted higher, and giving chart points to the same song twice in one week would have been silly. Empire State Of Mind is just short of a million "sales" in my chart.
ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION
1. DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY (2001)
2. LUCKY ONE (2004)
3. GENTLE ON MY MIND (2017)
4. YOU WILL BE MY AIN TRUE LOVE (2004)
5. GONE GONE GONE (DONE MOVED ON) Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (2007)
6. LOSING YOU (2017)
7. STICK WITH ME BABY Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (2008)
8. RESTLESS (2005)
9. PLEASE READ THE LETTER Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (2008)
10. STAY (2000)
11. RICH WOMAN Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (2008)
12. PAPER AIRPLANE (2011)
90's Bluegrass country star Alison Krauss revived the genre almost singlehandedly, but has stayed consistent enough to qualify this century too.
ALL SAINTS
1. PURE SHORES (2000)
2. ROCKSTEADY (2006)
3. DON'T WORRY Appleton (2003)
4. BLACK COFFEE (2000)
5. ALL HOOKED UP (2001)
6. ONE STRIKE (2016)
7. LOVE LASTS FOREVER (2018)
8. NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE Shaznay Lewis (2004)
9. FANTASY Appleton (2002)
10. TWENTY FOUR SEVEN Artful Dodger featuring Melanie Blatt (2001)
11. EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY Appleton (2003)
12. AFTER ALL (2018)
90's Girl Band also big enough in the 21st century to garner a dozen, albeit including solo stuff - all four members have charted outside the band. The top 2 are just short of a million "sales". The 8 tracks to hit 250,000+ "sales" equals Adele's total, but she leads on million sellers.
Interesting to see Water Under The Bridge and Send My Love being so far apart for you in the Adele rankings, they feel quite similar to me! Enjoy them both anyway, two of my favourite Adele songs.
AMY WINEHOUSE
1. (6 15) OUR DAY WILL COME (458550) 2011
2. (6 24) BACK TO BLACK (453250) 2007
3. (6 14) TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN (335150) 2007

7. (17 9) HELP YOURSELF Amy Winehouse (149300) 2004
8. (20 7) YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD Amy Winehouse featuring Ghostface (107100) 2007
9. (63 5) B BOY BABY Mutya Buena featuring Amy Winehouse (37200) 2008
10. (59 3) WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW (26600) 2012
11. (64 3) CHERRY WINE Nas featuring Amy Winehouse (20600) 2012
12. (70 1) BODY AND SOUL Tony Bennett featuring Amy Winehouse (6000) 2011
So, the late, great Amy didnt have any monsters in my chart but had 3 all peak at 6, while only just making the list thanks to some minor collaborations with a pretty varied choice of acts, and one monster with her producer...
ANASTACIA
1. (1 19) SICK AND TIRED (1012200) 2004
2. (3 22) LEFT OUTSIDE ALONE (713200) 2004
3. (2 16) I'M OUTTA LOVE (627550) 2000
4. (19 20) ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE (277700) 2002

9. (27 5) STARING AT THE SUN (74900) 2014
10. (35 5) PAID MY DUES (72900) 2001
11. (40 5) BOOM (61500) 2002
12. (43 5) NOT THAT KIND (54900) 2001
Noughties British women & L icon diva Anastacia topped my chart once, yet oddly had little success in her native USA.
ARCTIC MONKEYS/THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS
1. (1 27) I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR (1218150) 2006 Arctic Monkeys
2. (2 17) THE AGE OF THE UNDERSTATEMENT (733900) 2008 The Last Shadow Puppets
3. (5 14) WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN (327650) 2006 Arctic Monkeys
4. (19 9) FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT (136300) 2007 Arctic Monkeys
5. (34 5) ONE FOR THE ROAD (70600) 2014 Arctic Monkeys
6. (40 8) BRIANSTORM (70150) 2007 Arctic Monkeys
7. (40 4) DO I WANNA KNOW (54000) 2013 Arctic Monkeys
8. (39 4) MARDY BUM (48050) 2006 Arctic Monkeys
9. (60 7) LEAVE BEFORE THE LIGHTS COME ON (48000) 2006 Arctic Monkeys
10. (36 4) MY PROPELLOR (47600) 2010 Arctic Monkeys
11. (64 7) THE VIEW FROM THE AFTERNOON (45700) 2006 Arctic Monkeys
12. (40 4) SUCK IT AND SEE (43500) 2011 Arctic Monkeys
There's more than enough Arctic Monkeys tracks to compile a list, but not enough Last Shadow Puppets, and I love that track at 2 more than I love all but one Arctic Monkeys tracks.
I think you're being rather harsh on Last Shadow Puppets!
ARIANA GRANDE
1. (1 18) LOVE ME HARDER Ariana Grande featuring The Weeknd (724200) 2014
2. (6 17) THANK YOU, NEXT Ariana Grande (500500) 2018
3. (10 17) DON’T CALL ME ANGEL (CHARLIE’S ANGELS) Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus & Lana Del Ray (312350) 2019
4. (17 9) FAITH Stevie Wonder featuring Ariana Grande (168400) 2017
5. (24 11) BREATHIN Ariana Grande (149950) 2018
6. (15 9) NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY Ariana Grande (149150) 2018
7. (14 7) PROBLEM Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea (129450) 2014
8. (28 8) STUCK WITH U Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber (95100) 2019
9. (39 8) SIDE TO SIDE Ariana Grande featuring Nicki Minaj (94050) 2016
10. (18 6) BREAK FREE Ariana Grande featuring Zedd (88300) 2014
11. (36 9) FOCUS Ariana Grande (80750) 2016
12. (36 7) RAIN ON ME Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande (78900) 2019
Lots of collabs on this list, and some big chart hits missing....
'Love Me Harder' was my favourite Ariana song for years so I greatly approve of that topping your list for her 'Faith' quite an underrated inclusion there!
AVICII
1. (1 17 FADES AWAY) Avicii featuring Mishcatt (1148100) 2020
2. (2 15) PEACE OF MIND Avicii featuring Vargas & Lagola (531900) 2019
3. (5 19) HEY BROTHER Avicii featuring Dan Kaminski (518250) 2013
4. (7 15) SILHOUETTES) Avicii featuring Salem Al Fakir (384200) 2012
5. (6 14) THE NIGHTS Avicii (349200) 2015
6. (8 11) WAITING FOR LOVE Avicii featuring Simon Aldred (of Cherry Ghost) (273050) 2015
7. (18 10) LEVELS Avicii featuring Etta James (167200) 2011
8. (26 11) ADDICTED TO YOU Avicii (129050) 2014
9. (18 6) SOS Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc (106400) 2019
10. (29 7) FOREVER YOURS Kygo, Avicii & Sandro Cavazza (100800) 2020
11. (24 6) WAKE ME UP Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc (91050) 2013
12. (37 5) FOR A BETTER DAY Avicii featuring Alex Ebert (61000) 2015
The late Avicii turns in a Hits collection among the "A" acts of the A to Z, second only to Adele for the 21st century, and they are weighted pretty much across his 9-year career
OK onto the B's, so not enough love for Basement Jaxx, Backstreet Boys and some others needing the 20th century to qualify, this one also had some 90's action but just squeezed in anyway...
BEVERLEY KNIGHT
1. (1 27) KEEP THIS FIRE BURNING (856450) 2005
2. (14 8) IN HER SHOES (176000) 2009
3. (20 8) BEAUTIFUL NIGHT (133100) 2009
4. (20 8) COME AS YOU ARE (121750) 2004
5. (39 7) SHOULDA, WOULDA, COULDA (80500) 2002
6. (40 7) PIECE OF MY HEART (76200) 2006
7. (35 4) AFTER YOU (48000) 2007
8. (45 3) MAMA USED TO SAY (23000) 2011
9. (73 5) PRIVATE NUMBER Beverley Knight featuring Jamie Cullum (17900) 2016
10. (65 2) GET UP (14000) 2001
11. (69 2) GOLD (11400) 2002
12. (73 2) EVERY STEP (10800) 2009
Nice to see Peace of Mind so high up your Avicii list, a brilliant song! Waiting For Love and The Nights are other highlights from that one. Some great Arctic Monkeys songs on there as well, I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor will always be their standout hit but Brianstorm is another solid track.
BEYONCE/ DESTINY'S CHILD
1. (1 23) TELEPHONE Lady Gaga & Beyonce (1310000) 2010
2. (1 23) CRAZY IN LOVE Beyonce featuring Jay-Z (1275950) 2003
3. (7 29) BEAUTIFUL LIAR Beyonce & Shakira (576400) 2007
4. (7 17) INDEPENDENT WOMEN PART 1 Destiny's Child (485700) 2000
5. (4 17) HYMN FOR THE WEEKEND Coldplay featuring Beyonce (482650) 2016
6. (5 12) SURVIVOR Destiny's Child (413400) 2001
7. (9 17) GIRL Destiny's Child (350300) 2005
8. (7 14) LOSE MY BREATH Destiny's Child (330800) 2004
9. (14 17) BOOTYLICIOUS Destiny's Child (258350) 2001
10. (8 14) PINK + WHITE Frank Ocean featuring Beyonce (244800) 2016
11. (12 10) XO Beyonce (220550) 2014
12. (17 10) DRUNK IN LOVE Beyonce & Jay-Z (163000) 2014
Including Destiny's Child Jay-Z's missus had had 36 chart entries for me, but Destiny's Child just fell short of the 12 qualifying, so they are lumped in with B's. The net result is no room for Halo, Single Ladies and others, but what a great dozen this is! Just a bit embarrassing that she only manages one with a solo credit....
BLACK EYED PEAS
1 (1 39) PUMP IT Black Eyed Peas (1229500) 2006
2 (1 35) ROCK THAT BODY Black Eyed Peas (1176900) 2010
3 (5 13) JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH Black Eyed Peas (408250) 2011
4 (3 18) BOOM BOOM POW Black Eyed Peas (404350) 2009
5 (10 22) WHERE IS THE LOVE Black Eyed Peas/ Justin Timberlake (363700) 2003
6 (5 15) DON'T PHUNK WITH MY HEART Black Eyed Peas (340950) 2005
7 (8 15) I GOTTA FEELING Black Eyed Peas (302300) 2009
8 (10 15) MEET ME HALFWAY Black Eyed Peas (289700) 2010
9 (8 10) DON'T LIE Black Eyed Peas (258800) 2005
10 (22 11) LET'S GET IT STARTED Black Eyed Peas (135900) 2004
11 (26 7) MY HUMPS Black Eyed Peas (108200) 2005
12 (42 7) SHUT UP Black Eyed Peas (65250) 2003
So...one of Suedey's all-time faves ( ) have 2 massive hits for me, another 7 big ones, lots of long-runners and few minor hits (just 14 in total have charted) though will.i.am will be back with his dozen at the other end of the listings.
BLONDIE & DEBBIE HARRY
1 (1 20) GOOD BOYS Blondie (835950) 2003
2 (6 15) RAPTURE RIDERS Blondie vs The Doors (311800) 2005
3 (6 10) A ROSE BY ANY NAME Blondie featuring Beth Ditto (299750) 2013
4 (17 11) TOO MUCH Blondie (165300) 2017
5 (14 8) FUN Blondie (144000) 2017
6 (16 8) D-DAY Blondie (126700) 2011
7 (28 10) NEW YORK, NEW YORK Moby featuring Debbie Harry (122200) 2006
8 (21 7) LONG TIME Blondie (109200) 2017
9 (30 6) I WANT TO DRAG YOU AROUND Blondie (87100) 2014
10 (46 5) DOOM OR DESTINY Blondie featuring Joan Jett (56000) 2018
11 (37 4) HEART OF GLASS Blondie Vs Edison (53100) 2006
12 (36 3) WHAT I HEARD Blondie (46550) 2011
Hands up who didn't know 70's New Wave/Punk band Blondie was still going? Thought so. Active throughout at least part of every of the last 5 decades actually, and still fab. Two of these are remixes or mash-ups, but they are newly recreated this century, so they count.
I do quite like Black Eyed Peas when they're on form! Pump It, Don't Phunk With My Heart and Where Is the Love are all great.

12. (75 2) YOU AND I Graham Coxon (10000) 2006
(* Does not include Gorillaz, who have a section to themselves)
Even without Blur's 1990s output there are still some cracking songs in there.

12 (69 2) WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE Bon Jovi (12400) 2006
Another veteran act I didn't expect to have had enough this century to qualify, do. Their new Covid-19 themed track Do What You Can is still climbing, still making good Radio 2 old-fashioned singalong rockpop when few others are.
BRANDON FLOWERS/ THE KILLERS

12 (5 12) ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE The Killers (291550) 2005
The greatest set of hits to date, albeit including solo Brandon - but if you're as good solo as in the band. So good that great collabs with Lou Reed and New Order were kept out of the 12. No apologies whatsoever for Mr Brightside missing - it's 26th in my list.

despite the universal hate, I'd still put Mr Brightside as my #1 Killers track sorry not sorry

a good dozen non-hits for The Boss this century, showing you can still be great in your 50's & 60's even if you dont sell singles anymore
I discovered Everytime not too long ago, defintiely my favourite song from Britney! Nice little piano track.
Love a bit of The Killers as well, some of the songs on that list bringing back good memories, although I think Bones is probably my favourite from them.
BRUNO MARS

11 (29 9) THE LAZY SONG Bruno Mars (112600) 2011
12 (23 7) WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN Bruno Mars (110350) 2013
John, I didn't know that "Lucky" was # 1 in your chart. It's my favourite Britney's song and the best single from 2000 year.
CALVIN HARRIS

12 (39 4) WITH YOU Chris Brown (46600) 2008
well, I don't believe in re-writing pop history just to pretend I didn't like records by people found to be of dubious character, But as a serial collaborator Brown wouldn't qualify left just to his own devices. Of course everyone's a musical slag in the 21st century, they'll go with anyone as long as they get a hit out of it...
CHRISSIE HYNDE/ PRETENDERS
1 (1 20) STRAIGHT AHEAD Tube & Berger featuring Chrissie Hynde (642200) 2004

11 (2 20) FIX YOU Coldplay (534250) 2005
12 (4 15) EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL Coldplay (503950) 2011
Clean Bandit and Cliff Richard both on 11 currently, so get missed for the mo, and we go on to the new Best Dozen of the century, overhauling The Killers - nothing less what would be a Gold Disc & 7 Platinums. Will it be beaten by any other act? I can think of one but it'll be ages to find out...
Calvin has so many good songs, Under Control is an absolute tune and good to see Acceptable In The 80s in your chart as well, the first song I heard from him and it still remains my favourite. The Scientist still remains my favourite Coldplay song so shame to see that not here.
CRAIG DAVID
1 (1 19) HOT STUFF Craig David/ David Bowie (735900) 2007

12 (26 4) THE STARS (ARE OUT TONIGHT) David Bowie (67800) 2013
In which the same track tops 2 consecutive charts, OK I've given credit where none existed, but it samples Let's Dance heavily and provides the backbone of the song. Any 20th century oldies in the chart have been remixed or issued for the first time this century
DAVID GUETTA
1 (1 65) TITANIUM David Guetta featuring SIA (2089200) 2011
2 (1 38) TURN ME ON David Guetta/ Nicki Minaj (1230150) 2011

I could have added Stan's "sales" to Thank You's, and I normally would, but Stan is a better track than Thank You and that would flatter Thank You too much. I'd prefer to do the reverse and benefit Stan, but that would be a stretch - even though in retrospect Stan deserves to be 3 on the list.
DOLLY PARTON

12 (70 1) WORDS CAN BREAK YOUR HEART Don Henley (6000) 2015
I wouldn't have put money on there being 12 Eagles/Henley tracks in the 21st century, but there you go - and When I Stop Dreaming features in 2 consecutive rundowns!

Interesting ranking for Dua! Hotter Than Hell would probably be quite a bit lower down for me, although the others up there are all very good! Nice to see White Flag top your Dido list as well, a classic.
ED SHEERAN

11 (64 4) BLOODSTREAM Ed Sheeran and Rudimental (23900) 2015
12 (51 2) EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED Taylor Swift featuring Ed Sheeran (23500) 2013
So, one of the global superstars of our time just managed to get a dozen while chart-topping Duran Duran (in the last century) just fall one short despite more bigger chart hits. No justice...! Don't try looking for the huge soppy ballads in my list....
I don't think any of my favourite Ed songs are in there (although they're not the 'soapy ballads' you mention either!) I think Sing is probably my favourite of the ones on your lsit so good pick for #1.

My top 2 Ellie songs have snuck into your list as #11 and #12 glad to see them there at all, both deserved better in the chart
I definitely need to hear more songs from Elbow, I'm surprised at how few I recognise in that list! Maginficent and Golden Slumbers are both great tracks though, as is of course One Day Like This.

12 (32 8) SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD Blue & Elton John (92700) 2003
Worth mentioning Elton had a massive remixed hit with Are You Ready For Love - but the airplay version was the original, which first charted in the late 70's, and he also co-wrote and played piano on Scissor Sisters monster I Don't Feel Like Dancin', but neither qualify on a technicality Basically, though, 21st century Elton hasn't had a significant new solo track since 2013, and a big one since 2001. The Pnau tracks are reinventions using segments of early Elton tracks, and the Pet Shop Boys collabs were 90's recordings that didn't get released until the 21st Century.
I'm not the biggest fan of Elton but I really do like his Songs From the West Coast album, it's the strongest of his I've ever heard. I'm particularly fond of Original Sin and Mansfield from it

Both members of Empire Of The Sun have had previous or side projects in The Sleepy Jackson and PNAU, none of whom have quite managed 12 - but the quality of the combined back catalogue of everything they've been involved is very high, so as far as I'm concerned it's all the same, they're fab whatever the name on the label.

Who knew that the 70's & 80's soap opera that is Fleetwood Mac would continue in the 21st century just as volatile as before?! Just to sum up, Christine and Lindsey had left in the 90's, then Lindsey came back on board as producer/songwriter and for touring meaning 2 of the primary 3 songwriters of the post-Peter Green era were back in the fold. Christine finally came out of retirement and began work with Lindsey on material for the band which ended up having to be a duo as Stevie wasn't happy, which set of the old lovers Stevie/Lindsey rivalry again, with Lindsey sacked and then having a subsequent heart attack as he sued for dismissal. So, I've seen the Mac in a line-up without Lindsey, a line-up without Christine and finally all back together again. I wouldn't put money on them ever getting back together for recording purposes....

Proof that you can be towards the end of your career and life, have alzheimers, and still be as great as you were in your youth....and if you can spot Foo Fighters and Green Day songs in there, it's because he wanted an album of covers done Glen style, and then an album about living with dementia, and then songs about dying from dementia.

OK. One Direction. They had 9 chart hits, none of them made my top 40. The solo stuff has far outdone everything they did together, and even missing Louis Tomlinson had a solo track that did better than any One Direction track. None of them has yet had 12 solo tracks, so here they are lumped together, and the winner is Harry Styles, then Liam Payne, then Zayn, then Niall Horan.

Interesting choice of top hit for Goldfrapp, not often you see that make a #1 whilst so many others before it didn't.

The two Imagine Dragons song I really like are right next to each other there at #5 & #6.
Loving a lot of the Gorillaz tracks. DARE is a great #1 pick
"Cool" is the best Gwen\No Doubt song.

Just scrolling through these and 'Talk' is an underrated Coldplay song for me so good to see that high up here. 'Enjoy The Silence' is great too. My mate plays that song to me quite often along with 'Sun Always Shines On Me'. Two good oldies. 'Wisemen' is a good pick for top Blunt song. I'd put it in my top 5 actually along with 'Goodbye My Lover', '1973'. 'Bonfire Heart' and 'Carry You Home'. The latter being my favorite from him, was a #1 for me in 2008!

Not heard that top Keane one but 'Everybody's Changing' & 'This Is The Last Time' are my faves. Also a fan of 'Is It Any Wonder' & 'Somewhere Only We Know'!
never heard that #1 from Keane either... my top 3 from them would be:
1 Somewhere only we know
2 Bend and Break
3 Crystal Ball
no love for Bend and Break? for me that's one of their best songs and a travesty it wasn't properly pushed as a single from album uno

Oh that's an Kelis song I don't remember too much. It's a great choice for top track though. 'Caught Up There', a good song for mimicking as an 8 year old at the time not that I hate anyone lol. 'Acapella' her only #1 for me. That was fab and '4th of July' an extremely underrated followup. 'Lil Star' I heard in a shop recently funnily enough. You kinda forget how many great songs Kelis actually did and that's with 'Trick Me'. & 'Millshake' not even among them but those are brill too.

bizarrely, I must hear a Kelly Rowland record and immediately subconsciously go "needs to peak at 8!"
I heard it in Tesco's a few weeks I think - 'Lil Star' but it's not like you really hear Kelis played anywhere in general, well for me anyway.
'Work' freemasons remix <3 I don't think I've heard that top Kelly track but then again I dipped out of listening to the chart for 2 and a half years so makes sense I guess lol. I do remember 'Stole' though which was alright. All that rising of 'Dilemma' back in the day, there was literally no escaping it!
Tesco's playlists are usually very interesting I find. There's some Roxy Music playing even and they did some classics back in the day too!
Ooh I'm a big 70's Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry fan, cant go wrong there

12 (3 19) STOP ME FROM FALLING Kylie Minogue featuring Gente De Zona (747950) 2018
So. Kylie has 2 number ones just miss the list, dozens of top 10's miss the list. That's just the 21st century. She has some others from the 80's and 90's. As you can see, I often think she picks the wrong tracks as singles. The top one was written by Nerina Pallot and was never a single!
So many classic Kylie songs there. 'Love At First Sight', 'All The Lovers, 'Get Outta My Way', & "I Believe In You'! Like CGYOOMH as well and it is a classic but I do find its vastly overrated compared to some of her other hits and expecially songs that didn't reach #1 too!

I confess to not really being a fan of Lana 'darts to the door' but 'Summertime Sadness' is great. Lots of love for loads of those Gaga tracks. 'Alejandro' an underrated one I find despite still being a top 10 hit. Was a #1 for me back in 2010!

Liam just scraping a dozen 21st century non-Oasis credits together and saving me having to merge with Oasis tracks, there's rather more of those so it would have overwhelmed the list a bit.....
'Wall of Glass' is my fave by him although I haven't really gone out of my way to hear his solo material tbh bar some that I heard in the chart.

The better Lily Allen songs at the top and then the fairly overrated (Smile and Somewhere Only We Know) further down
Also 'Numb' is a classic as is a lot of Linkin Park's output. They did go a bit naff by 2010 though. I was fortunate to see them live in 2014 too. They did rush through a lot of classics in a mash up though which was a shame as they'd have sounded better in full length. Oh well. It's a bit poignant now considering what happened to Chester but also a female friend of my sisters who came with us to that gig and she did the same thing as him although I'm not sure if it was exactly the same method used. Ah well a cherished memory nonetheless.
I haven't really delved much into London Grammar but 'Strong' is always a gem.

Some fab Madonna tracks there. I finally listened to Confessions the album the other day after buying it in ASDA at the start of last month. Great album. 'Jump ' & 'Sorry' were always my fave two from it but 'Hung Up' is undeniable too.'Ghosttown', 'Don't Tell Me', 'Music' all great as well!

Poor 'Happy Ending' not appearing 'Rain' is a great and underrated track of his though. His career died off after 'We Are Golden' really!
Well at least that's something ha!
I approve of the Confessions of a Dancefloor heavy Madge list, what an album! My second favourite only behind Ray Of Light.
I think 'Your Love Alone Is Not Enough' was the first Manics song I ever came across (was only 9 or 10 when that came out) but it was an instantly positive first impression, nice to see that topping your list for them! Since then I've discovered far more and 'A Design For Life' would be my favourite of their singles. I need to work through their albums!
'We Belong Together' was such a grower for me, now a Mariah essential. The build-up to *those* final notes is breath-taking.
That Mark Ronson list... wow, the quality 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' is my favourite by him too and also challenges for my top Miley song. 'The Bike Song' was such a quirky chart hit but sadly feels pretty forgotten now.

shock horror, her other biggest hits are lower down - Flowers at 14, Wrecking Ball at 19, The Climb 21 and Party In The USA at 24.
Won't complain about 'Party In The USA' that far down for you. Never really liked that one. Some early but fun pop tracks in '7 Things' & 'Fly On The Wall' there. 'Midnight Sky' an undeniable modern day pop classic on top
