July 28, 201014 yr She surely must be one of the biggest British exports of the last twelve months, across Europe at least. According to wikip she has had chart success in France. Is she big anywhere else? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VV_Brown
July 28, 201014 yr This list gets worse as it goes on. I'd forgotten how many hopeless wenches were still in this. Expected Duffy to be a lot higher up actually.
July 28, 201014 yr Now I know Beverley Knight isn't the most fashionable of singers, but really she DOES have a near flawless voice.
July 28, 201014 yr Ah pah.....flawless voices dont mean $h!t to me. Give me a croacky firebrand any day.
July 28, 201014 yr The fact that Diana Vickers is still to come means BJ should hang their heads in shame -_- :lol:!

At the age of just 23, Goulding has already scored a #1 album in the UK and a top 5 single with the superb Starry Eyed. Sadly I see very little potential in both her album and career in the longrun. http://www.behindthehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MIA.jpg 043 M.I.A + 175 Pts + Stats Votes: 12 Highest Position: 1 [Mikal] Top Ten: 6 Bitch Slapped: 1 [Ghost] Years Active: 2000 – Present I was quite surprised at the M.I.A debate in the voting thread. She's possibly one of the least mainstream artists in the top 100, gaining a small and loyal underground fanbase that has spanned three albums. She's inventive and pushes the boundaries of different genres and really seems to be driven by her music and using it to make a difference. Personally, she's not my cup of tea but I appreciate her originality. Edited July 28, 201014 yr by GrAmii
July 28, 201014 yr Author http://www.bittenandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/carrie-underwood.jpg 042 Carrie Underwood + 185 Pts + Stats Votes: 12 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 5 Years Active: 2005 – Present As the fourth season winner of American Idol, Underwood has had huge success in her homeland with her unique blend of pop and country music. She recently surpassed Kelly Clarkson as the biggest Idol album seller in the US. For some strange reason, her record label have made little attempt to release her music internationally. Debut album Some Hearts became the fastest selling country album in soundscan history. http://www.truecountry.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/shania-twain.jpg 041 Shania Twain + 186 Pts + Stats Votes: 20 Highest Position: 4 Top Ten: 3 Years Active: 1993 – Present Just shy of the top 40, is country-pop queen Shania Twain. Twain rose to prominence in the late 1990s with her albums The Woman In Me & Come On Over, the latter which launched her internationally and refused to budge from the UK top 10. It's pretty impressive that Shania has shifted 48 million records in the United States alone! I've also found her pretty cheesy but likeable in a strange way. She does have some pretty cool tunes in her back catalogue such as That Don't Impress Me Much & You're Still The One
July 28, 201014 yr Ellie Goulding still strikes me very much as a flavour of the month, and nothing more. Carrie Underwood; the reason they haven't tried, certainly in the UK anyway, is that bar the occasional random like Shania or Taylor Swift, country has no market here.
July 28, 201014 yr Dannii is far too low, as is Shania :( Honestly, this site is so silly sometimes. Dido should be higer too Edited July 28, 201014 yr by Regina Flowers
July 28, 201014 yr Author http://www.shorthaircutstrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/natalie_imbruglia.jpg 040 Natalie Imbruglia + 188 Pts + Stats Votes: 16 Highest Position:3 Top Ten: 5 Years Active: 1997 – Present How I love Neighbours. Seriously, it's like an even bigger launching platform for a pop career than The X Factor for Christ's sake. Maybe it's something in the water over there but she looks oddly like Dannii Minogue to me. Imbruglia is probably most known for her worldwide smash Torn which sold over a million units in the UK and was beaten to #1 by erm.... Barbie Girl. Though Imbruglia is regarded as pretty much irrelevant by many outside of this overplayed, yet fantastic track she's released some great albums over the years, my personal favourite being White Lillies Island. http://www.topnews.in/files/fergie-455587.jpg 039 Fergie + 194 Pts + Stats Votes: 19 Highest Position:6 Top Ten: 5 Years Active: 1984 – Present Fergie has been a busy, little bee! Children's TV, member of a girl group, fashion designer and actress. She's probably most known for joining the Black Eyed Peas in 2003 and launching them to worldwide stardom with Where Is The Love?. She's since launched a solo career and rejoined the Peas for their most successful album to date The E.N.D in 2009 which contains the infamous I Gotta Feeling. http://turbo.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/taylor-swift.jpg 038 Taylor Swift + 195 Pts + Stats Votes: 13 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 5 Years Active: 2006 – Present Good lord. Taylor Swift is apparently the biggest selling artist in digital history with over 24.3 million digital sales. Her 2nd album Fearless sold buckets in the US and introduced the radio friendly, country-pop singer to an international audience with the fairytale themed Love Story. I find Taylor's music to be repetitive and too plain. It's just FAR too nice and that's obviously it's appeal. She's bland but considering her age she does demonstrate a fair shread of talent. Kudos for how she handled the Kanye scandal though :heehee:
July 28, 201014 yr Ellie Goulding is bland beyond belief, Starry Eyed was great but the most of her album was qute forgettable. Nothing special there. Shania's allright, had a good few songs along the way. Loved Duffy's album, 10 near-perfect songs, even if Mercy has been overplayed a bit. Jordin too, loved both her albums though both had their weak moments, she's had some brilliant moments though - notably Battlefield and No Air. MIA isnt someone who I know a lot about but Paper Planes was brilliant and I like her new album. Carrie's great (and should release in the UK), Fergie's album had some great songs and of course the wonderful Natalie :wub: The highlight of this countdown though is Beverley Knight, who im very pleased to see appear this high. Amazingingly talented woman, with a great voice and such a likeable personality. The last album wasnt quite as good as some of her others but she's had some brillaint moments, Affirmtion is probably one of my favourte albums. Ever. No hating on VV please. Or I shall ban you. From life. Oh, and its disgusting that Taylor Swift even got nominated, let alone make it this high. And lets not even speak of the disgrace that Diana Vickers still hasnt appeared.
July 28, 201014 yr Author And the last 2 for today as I am knackered -_- http://www.celebritysmackblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/houston.jpg 037 Whitney Houston + 204 Pts + Stats Votes: 16 Highest Position: 1 [Marrb] Top Ten: 6 Years Active: 1977 – Present Yes Miley Cyrus, the disgusting Diana Vickers and Pixie Lott are all higher than Whitney Houston. -_- Whitney was a true and unique talent until her drug addiction spiralled out of control and her recent comeback was nothing short of well embarassing to be perfectly honest. This is the woman with one of the biggest voices to ever grace the world of pop and one of the biggest selling singles the world has ever seen in the form of I Will Always Love You. I've always preferred her more uptempo material to be honest since as How Will I Know? & I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Whilst her earlier music saw her combine pop,soul and dance, she took a more RnB orientated route in the 1990s. http://www.shinystyle.tv/Sophie%20Ellis%20Bextor.jpg 036 Sophie Ellis-Bextor + 206 Pts + Stats Votes: 21 Highest Position: 2 Top Ten: 4 Years Active: 1997 – Present She's the poshest lady in pop and I quite often confuse her with a shop mannequin! Bextor has dipped her toe in a wide pool of genres, starting her career as a singer in the indie band The Audience and then experimenting with elements of pop and dance with her own solo material. Sophie shot to mainstream fame when she lent her vocals to Spiller's chart topper Groovjet. Despite success with her debut solo album Read My Lips, a combination of mixed material, endless babies and lack of public interest has seen Sophie struggle to regain her popularity. That aside she seems to be immune to record droppage kryptonite returning in 2010 with Bittersweet and a probable 4th album in the future.
