GAWD, IS THIS GOING TO BE DONE FOR XMAS.

 

FLOP.

11| Marina & The Diamonds - 534 points (63-51-11)

 

Climbing an incredible 40 places since last year, Marina Diamandis, otherwise known as Marina & The Diamonds, finds herself just 1 place away from the top 10! After a successful debut album, Marina released her 2nd album in April 2012. 'Electra Heart' became Marina's 1st #1 album in the UK and charted in many countries including reaching the top 40 in the United States, Germany and Australia. The lead single from the album 'Primadonna' also became her most successful single in both the UK and worldwide. Marina's next single 'How To Be A Heartbreaker' is scheduled to be released in Spring 2013.

 

12| Nicki Minaj - 528 points (12-12)

 

Despite staying at #12, Nicki Minaj's success has spiralled this year and is not only one of the world's biggest hip-hop artists, but also one of the world's biggest popstars. Her 2nd album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' charted at #1 in both the UK and the US in April 2012. The lead single 'Starships' is one of the most successful songs of the year both in the UK and worldwide and follow-up 'Pound The Alarm' continued this success. Nicki has just re-released her 2nd album as 'The Re-Up' and sees a return to Nicki's hip-hop roots with singles 'The Boys' featuring Cassie and 'Freedom'.

 

13| Robyn - 511 points (23-21-13)

 

Robyn manages an 8 place climb despite no single release since early 2011. She has had 3 UK top 10 hits with 'Be Mine!', 'Dancing On My Own' and #1 'With Every Heartbeat' featuring Kleerup. She has also had 3 UK top 50 albums - 'Robyn' and the two parts of 'Body Talk' - and 7 top 10 albums in her home country of Sweden.

 

14| Gwen Stefani - 477 points (16-16-14)

 

After embarking on a very successful solo career between 2004 and 2008, Gwen Stefani has reunited with her band No Doubt this year to release new album 'Push and Shove'. Both the album and lead single 'Settle Down' have achieved moderate success worldwide and No Doubt are currently in the process of releasing next single 'Looking Hot' which has only managed to chart at #397 in the UK following an X Factor performance.

Sad, that Shania Twain and Mariah Carey is not in top 10.

I demand an answer as to why Marina & The Diamonds is called Marina Diamandis here. It makes no sense.

Because it is her proper and full name.

So? There are shitloads of artists on this rate that don't use their proper names. Rihanna, Robyn, Madonna, Lady Gaga, the list goes on. Why is Marina the only artist to be stripped of her stage name?

Well on the original post where it shows the results from last year, Lee has written her as Marina Diamandis so I just carried on with that - so blame Lee! :kink:

I thought it might be Lee to blame :lol: Someone (i.e YOU) needs to correct it!

Yeah, if anything is wrong just blame Lee! :D It is changed now by the way!

Thanks! Sorry to be so pedantic but it's been bugging me since the nominations for this year were announced :lol:

09| Kelly Clarkson - 590 points (3-8-9)

 

The first ever winner of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson is one of the most successful reality show artists ever, if not the most successful! She continues her 100% record of top 10s in the Ultimate Female chart dropping a place to #9 this year. She released her 5th album in October 2011 'Stronger' which included 2 smash hit singles 'Mr. Know It All' and US #1 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)'. Last month Kelly released her first greatest hits compilation entitled 'Greatest Hits: Chapter One' and was preceded by single 'Catch My Breath' achieving moderate success so far. Also, in the last couple of days Kelly has gotten engaged to her partner!

 

10| Adele - 571 points (7-10)

 

After releasing one of the most successful albums in history, Adele will always be one of the world's most successful artists ever! To date, Adele's 2nd album '21' has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide and has reached #1 in nearly every chart in the world. The album also provided 3 massive singles 'Rolling In The Deep', 'Someone Like You' and 'Set Fire To The Rain'. This year Adele recorded the theme song to the new James Bond movie 'Skyfall' charting in top 10s all around the world and has already sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Well noticed, I'll get that changed :kink:

 

Remember to blame Lee for everything that goes wrong :lol:

...if not the most successful!

 

No, that's Carrie! :D

 

Kelly C's fab though, her greatest hits has made me revisit some of her fantastic songs such as Behind These Hazel Eyes and Because of You. :wub:

I thought it might be Lee to blame :lol: Someone (i.e YOU) needs to correct it!
