Now we are inside the top 40, we'll start revealing them in sets of 5 instead!

 

36| Anastacia - 328 points (20-49-53-36)

37| Alexandra Burke - 327 points (18-25-37-37)

38| Nelly Furtado - 319 points (14-30-25-38)

39| Emeli Sandé - 308 points (XX-XX-39-39)

40| Natalie Imbruglia - 301 points (40-35-46-40)

 

The fantastic Anastacia is the first artist in this section who climbs 17 places compared to her 2012 position and has recently released her sixth studio album which went top 10 in the UK! Despite only releasing her 'New Rules' EP between the 2012 chart and now, Alexandra Burke manages to stay top 40 by matching her position of #37 that she achieved in 2012. Nelly Furtado is at #38 making her the third consecutive former top 20 artist in this section, but she has fell 13 places since 2012 possibly due to a lack of new material since 2012's 'The Spirit Indestructible'. Another artist who has been quiet recently charts at #39 for the second consecutive year and that is Emeli Sandé who was one of several artists that performed at the 2012 London Olympic Games and is due to release a new album very soon. Finally at #40 we have Natalie Imbruglia who continues to be very consistent in her chart positions and is reported to be releasing her first album in more than 5 years next year and it will be an album entirely of covers.

Poor Nelly, she deserves top 20.

Alexandra grabbing that Buzzjacki relevancy.

Yass bish, go get it. Outselling your Nelly and Emeli faves!

Edited August 20, 201410 yr by *Tim

The devotion of Alexandra's stans on here is always impressive. Not even a horrendous EP/second album/career can deter them.

We just keep on living off that Overcome and Heartbreak On Hold slayage.

It has enough energy to keep us alive

I would apply for tickets to see Foxes at the ITunes festival but I cannot put myself through the script though. I love foxes

I know this is kinda old but the script put on one of the best shows I've ever seen when they opened for OneRepublic!

Great section like Anastasia and Burke's newer stuff and love Emeli (especially heaven)

Burke's first album is amazing, and I like Nelly and Natalia but they both have one massive standout track for me (maneater and torn)

31| Whitney Houston - 337 points (37-42-22-31)

32| Mariah Carey - 336 points (15-27-27-32)

33| Nicki Minaj - 335 points (XX-12-12-33)

34| Shania Twain - 329 points (41-49-XX-34)

35| Janet Jackson - 328 points (27-39-43-35)

 

The legendary Whitney Houston stays in the top 40 once again while Mariah Carey drops a few places despite the recent release of her latest album 'Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse'. Nicki Minaj surprisingly drops a quite substantial 21 places which perhaps coincides with Nicki's shift back to rap & hip-hop whereas in 2012 she was experiencing her commercial peak with the release of 'Starships'. Canadian country singer Shania Twain re-enters the chart this year and manages to secure a new peak of #34, her first year inside the top 40! Finally, Janet Jackson climbs 8 places in comparison to her 2012 position and continues to be in and around the top 40 every year.

Stellar section, love all those!

 

Whitney and Janet Jackson are two of THE biggest female legends in music, Shania's Come On Over is undeniably flawless and Nicki and Mariah have soooo many good songs!

the drop for nicki :cry:

I like Mariah at the moment, however ask me in 3 to 4 months if I like Mariah and it will be I love Mariah Carey so so much

Quite like some of Nicki's stuff- super bass is her best

Your top 30 female artists of 2014!

 

Adele (XX-07-10-??)

Amy Winehouse (31-53-23-??)

Avril Lavigne (24-17-29-??)

Beyoncé (05-02-02-??)

Britney Spears (08-05-03-??)

Cheryl Cole (27-79-33-??)

Christina Aguilera (09-15-15-??)

Ellie Goulding (44-40-20-??)

Florence Welch (33-29-17-??)

Gwen Stefani (16-16-14-??)

 

Jennifer Lopez (51-14-21-??)

Kate Bush (17-31-31-??)

Katy B (XX-87-79-??)

Katy Perry (12-04-05-??)

Kelly Clarkson (03-08-09-??)

Ke$ha (62-23-35-??)

Kylie Minogue (07-10-06-??)

Lady Gaga (01-06-04-??)

Lana Del Rey (XX-XX-24-??)

Leona Lewis (09-13-19-??)

 

Lily Allen (22-18-16-??)

Madonna (11-09-08-??)

Marina & The Diamonds (63-51-11-??)

Nicole Scherzinger (XX-22-49-??)

Paloma Faith (75-59-57-??)

P!nk (02-03-07-??)

Rihanna (03-01-01-??)

Robyn (23-21-13-??)

Shakira (13-19-30-??)

Taylor Swift (38-56-38-??)

 

So as we can see, Katy B and Paloma Faith are going to be the biggest climbers into the top 30 this year - but how far can they go? Also there are no new entries in the top 30, but Lana Del Rey has charted the least number of times with only one previous chart appearance so could she be a surprise contender at the top of the chart?

 

So many questions but any predictions of what will happen in the top 30?

Kesha for #1

I DIDN'T VOTE NOO

 

some of that top 30 too ugh.

TAYLOR FOR 1 AND LANA FOR 2 OR VICE VERSA :wub:

 

Also Kelly, Lily and Avril would join for the perfect top 5

I nominated but forgot to vote, damn! Could have bumped Mademoiselle E-B up further.

Hello once again for the final day of results! I will be revealing two at a time and hopefully at quite a quick pace so make sure you keep checking back regularly so you don't miss anything! :D

 

Who are you supporting for the #1 spot?

Great section like Anastasia and Burke's newer stuff and love Emeli (especially heaven)

Burke's first album is amazing, and I like Nelly and Natalia but they both have one massive standout track for me (maneater and torn)

29| Cheryl Cole - 346 points (27-79-33-29)

 

Following the release of 'Crazy Stupid Love' this summer, former Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole became the third British female to achieve four solo number one singles alongside Geri Halliwell and Rita Ora. Cheryl will also be returning to the X Factor judging panel this year for the first time since 2010 and her record in the competition as a mentor is fantastic following her wins with Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry and finishing as runner-up with Rebecca Ferguson. Cheryl's fourth solo studio album 'Only Human' is scheduled for release in November and will be looking to achieve her fourth top 2 album in a row.

 

30| Nicole Scherzinger - 337 points (XX-22-49-30)

 

Nicole Scherzinger released her comeback single 'Your Love', her first in more than a year since March 2013's 'Boomerang', just one week prior to Cheryl and achieved her fifth UK top 10 hit as a solo artist. 3 of those top 10 hits were also top 3 hits in the form of 'Poison', 'Don't Hold Your Breath' and 'Right There' - the first three singles from her debut solo album 'Killer Love' which hit the UK top 10 back in March 2011. Nicole is currently preparing to release the follow-up single to 'Your Love' titled 'On The Rocks' and her upcoming second studio album which is currently untitled.
