Posted September 17, 201014 yr In your opinion who would you say is the biggest Uk female artist. Also in terms of their record sales, their live performances and their music. Imo it's definately Alexandra Burke She has the looks, the voice, the record sales, the live performances and she makes incredible music please do not mention florence and the machine as they are a band Edited September 17, 201014 yr by H.J

September 17, 201014 yr well do you mean atm or of all time? all time I would say is Madonna, the music videos and records and sales no other female has achieved, and she can stand proudly above most other female artists, others that come close would be Kate Bush, Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey in my opinion, my favourite female artist around atm would be close between Ellie Goulding and Diana Vickers

September 17, 201014 yr Are we trying to start a war on Buzzjack here? :drama: I would say Leona Lewis, but after the disaster that was Echo, I have no idea. If it is Alexandra Burke, it's only by default.
September 17, 201014 yr If were speaking in terms of 'current' female artists then it would be (taking into account only their sales) 01 Cheryl Cole 02 Leona Lewis 03 Alexandra Burke 04 Pixie Lott I know Leona is seen as a 1-era wonder now, but I'm fairly certain Echo has outsold Alex & Pixie's albums still. I have no idea as to include Florence in this list or not.
September 17, 201014 yr At the moment it's something like this: - Florence, Cheryl, Alexandra. (all popular/sell well they all excel in different aspects) 02 Pixie Lott 03 Ellie Goulding 04 Leona Lewis (sorry but Echo flopped on its arse and she can't rely on Spirit forever) Hon Mentions: Alesha, Paloma Faith Edited September 17, 201014 yr by Sinful
September 17, 201014 yr It's quite obviously Cherly at the moment; after that Alexandra, Pixie and Leona. Sinful, Ellie's album hasn't even sold 200k has it? Echo has sold like 600k. Leona is much bigger than Ellie still. Does Florence count? If so then she's on a par with Pixie I guess (in sales terms obviously).
September 17, 201014 yr Hasn't Florence sold over 1 mil? Pixie's just struggling to hit double platinum though?
September 17, 201014 yr I didn't realise that! If Florence has actually sold triple platinum she's clearly almost on a par with Cherly in success terms, the only difference being her singles aren't huge.
September 17, 201014 yr According to wiki, so take it with a pinch of salt, she's done 4x plat in the UK.
September 17, 201014 yr Yeah, Florence and Cheryl are definitely top two - I think Florence has probably shifted more albums than Cheryl though?
September 17, 201014 yr Cheryl's over 2 million with her singles and albums. I doubt Florence is, so CHERYL is victor. ^_^
September 17, 201014 yr If we count Florence, could we count Ellie Jackson from La Roux too? Of course, she's not that big, it's somewhere with Alesha but still I guess we can mention her among others. Edited September 17, 201014 yr by Arrs
September 17, 201014 yr Cheryl's over 2 million with her singles and albums. I doubt Florence is, so CHERYL is victor. ^_^ Not really, given singles are pretty much loss leaders. 1.2 million+ album sales for Florence vs. 900K+ for Cheryl, and Florence has had a big sell-out tour and headlined loads of festivals. I'd say Florence has won in terms of overall impact, although Cheryl obviously has won in terms of singles sales.
September 17, 201014 yr If we cound Florence, could we cound Ellie Jackson from La Roux too? Of course, she's not that big, it's somewhere with Alesha but still I guess we can mention her among others. I don't think so. In For The Kill and Bulletproof both together sold a million copies, but the album just about went platinum IIRC and IFTK and Bulletproof really are all she has going for her (although I think both her tours sold out, and they were pretty big). We could certainly count her though, she's probably between Alesha and Leona at the moment. Possibly on an Ellie Goulding level?
September 17, 201014 yr Cheryl & Florence are both awful imo :( Oh well. I'd say the biggest is definetly Cheryl though unfortunately, and will be for a while too. Florence, Pixie, Alexandra, Leona and Ellie are up there as well. Duffy too if she can manage to not be a one album hit wonder (which fortunately I doubt)
September 17, 201014 yr It's quite obviously Cherly at the moment; after that Alexandra, Pixie and Leona. Sinful, Ellie's album hasn't even sold 200k has it? Echo has sold like 600k. Leona is much bigger than Ellie still. Does Florence count? If so then she's on a par with Pixie I guess (in sales terms obviously). Lights has done around 220,000 so far and is still selling reasonably consistently, so it's not bad. Echo 643,000.
