Cleopatra = Actually quite liked them and shame their 2nd album never took off, actually liked "Come And Get Me" which limped in at #29, should have done much better.

 

Samantha Mumba = Again another surprise thought that she would have lasted longer than the first album, such cracking tunes Gotta Tell You, Always Come Back To Your Love and Baby Come On Over, were amazing.

 

McFly = Never that keen on them but did like their first 2 songs 5 Colours In Her Hair and Obviously.

Joe McElderry = To be honest "Ambitions" was pretty awful and was actually surprised it went as far as #6, thought it would have peaked at #15. But his follow up was better "Someone Wake Me Up" but failed because of Ambitions.

 

Tiffany = Loved "I Think We're Alone Now" one of my alltime faves, dunno why she chose "Radio Romance" to lead her 2nd album here, "All This Time" was better but got released 2nd and flopped at #47.

Yeah I'll never understand why 'Ambitions' was chosen to try and launch Joe McElderry's career. Ironically, the B-side to 'Ambitions' was PROPER AMAZING:

 

 

Why they didn't choose to go with that as the lead single will forever remain one of pop's great mysteries :unsure:

32.KYLIE MINOGUE (923,000) 2 HITS

 

http://kylieminogue.marianobayona.com/kylie1988c.jpg

 

1988’s other teen pop songstress is next, overtaking both Tiffany and Debbie Gibson she sold more singles than anyone else in the year but only her first two singles are eligible here. “I Should Be So Lucky” topped the charts for 5 weeks and follow up “Got To Be Certain” narrowly missed out on replicating the feat, both were chart toppers in Australia however where she spent 17 weeks at No 1 with her first three hits.

 

31.CHRISTINA AGUILERA (931,000) 4 HITS

Painted from the off as the rival to 1999’s biggest star Britney Spears, Aguilera was always the better singer and certainly the better starter in the US with three chart toppers by the end of 2000. Back in the UK of course she didn’t quite match up to Spears but still she did get another 2 top 10 hits plus the floppy “I Turn To You” before her teens ended.

 

30. WHAM! (1,006,000) 3 HITS

 

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbrD1J49CCc/S0u7X-uyD5I/AAAAAAAAAQk/moKB-B_dSOI/s400/WRNew.jpg

 

Their lucky break on “Top Of The Pops” came courtesy of Marvin Gaye pulling out at the last moment and they got called in despite not being in the top 40 at the time. A hit with teenage girls from the off they racked up the top 10 hits before they disbanded in 1986, but at the start of the band’s fame they were more noted for the social commentary in their tracks rather than the pop tunes which would come to symbolise them.

 

I thought Kylie would have been a lot higher. I had no idea what age she was in 1988 and didn't care to look it up.

Poor Xtina, her career literally began to fizzle with Back to Basics.

29. MILEY CYRUS (1,027,000) 8 HITS

 

http://imalbum.aufeminin.com/album/D20120611/861503_GTBFBS3A4AYUWL1PHPLPUQAO3WFH4Q_2009-10-miley-cyrus_H172804_L.jpg

 

From the loins of Billy Ray “Achy Breaky Heart” Cyrus sprung little Miley who followed in her father footsteps and became a pop star though of course a spell as “Hannah Montana” certainly helped in making her an international star and gave her her first hit in character when the theme “Best Of Both Worlds” which made No 43. Cyrus spent the remainder of her teens accumulating 7 top 30 hits without hitting the top 10 and finishing her stint on “Hannah Montana”- little did we know what was round the corner.

 

28.LITTLE MIX (1.047,000) 3 HITS

 

http://littlemixdaily.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_AySThKACYAA7w7J.png

 

The first, and to date only, group to win the X Factor I’d forgotten that they had to change their name from “Rhythmix” halfway through the competition. Whilst “Cannonball” wasn’t the biggest X Factor winning single they proved that they could be genuine popstars when follow up “Wings” also soared (sorry) to the top, indeed only two teen X Factor acts has sold more than they did....wonder who they are?

 

27. EAST 17 (1,064,000) 7 HITS

The third Tom Watkins managed act to appear on this list, East 17 played out a rivalry with Take That in the 90s that was only beaten by Blur and Oasis, this is one thread that East 17 win hands down though they were no longer a teen band by Christmas 94 thus missing out on a healthy boost from “Stay Another Day”. They did however beat the Take That boys to the No 1 spot on the album charts.

 

I always preferred East 17 to Take That.

SAMANTHA MUMBA!

 

She had some great tunes (3 to be exact) and a weird cameo in the remake of "Time Machine".

Kylie Minogue = YES YES YES, LOVE her my all time favourite singer, love her PWL days, I Should Be So Lucky, Locomotion, Got To Be Certain, Hand On Your Heart, Never Too Late, all classics from the 80's.

 

Christina Aguilera = Always loved her first two albums Genie In A Bottle, What A Girl Wants and Come On Over are all brill from her first album, then Dirrty, Beautiful, Fighter, Can't Hold Us Down and The Voice Within' were the perfect run of singles from her 2nd album. To be honest I weren't keen on Back To Basics and hasn't recovered since with bad albums and single choices.

 

Wham = Another guilty pleasure for me and had some great tunes, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Freedom and Club Topicana, all classics.

 

Little Mix = Amazing girl group and set to be one of the alltime greats, hope their 3rd album will be just as great as the first 2.

When did Miley's hits stop counting?! :o

26. THE VAMPS (1,090,000) 5 HITS

 

http://assets7.capitalfm.com/2014/13/meet-the-vamps-album-1396454872-large-article-0.png

 

They’ve got until July to add any “teen sales” for this thread, but it’s hard to believe the band have already sold a million singles! They famously missed out on the No 1 spot with their first release “Can We Dance?” by just 1,150 copies to OneRepublic and whilst they have collected 5 top 10 singles in a row the big one still eludes them. In a neat parallel they supported McFly and The Wanted (among others) to help get themselves promoted.

 

25.HANSON (1,135,000) 6 HITS

 

http://assets.rollingstone.com/assets/images/list/9351ca96a8feb370ea4f71138398f93b7c6e1fab.jpg

 

Ah the brothers Hanson, what wasn’t to like about “MMMBop”- an instantly catchy pop song that was so infectious that even a trip to the clinic couldn’t help to clear it up. It pretty much blanketed the planet for the group topping the charts in 13 countries, the more “grown up” sound of their second album in 2000 proved a commercial disaster and killed their career as a major player in the charts.

 

When she turned 20- Nov 2012.

Oh wow! Could you tell me the breakdown of sales before then please?

24.CHRIS BROWN (1,158,000) 12 HITS

 

http://neonlimelight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/breezy11.jpg

 

Let’s all go back to before THAT incident and remember a younger Brown who arrived as some kind of NU USHER in early 2006 with “Run It” (which incidentally missed out on No 1 by just 215 copies). He was however very much a collaboration ho from the off and just 5 of those 12 teen hits were solo credits.
