April 29, 20178 yr Author Is this these artists total UK sales? As if it is I was expecting much more from several of these artists. Total UK single sales to the end of 2013 yes.
April 29, 20178 yr Total UK single sales to the end of 2013 yes. Oh I see, that makes much more sense now. :lol:
April 29, 20178 yr Well, we all know who number 1 will be...but will be great to see the Top 5! Is it bad that I genuinely have no idea who #1 will be :')
April 29, 20178 yr Omg Sonique :wub: I recall hearing It Feels So Good on the radio in 2003 when I was in Year 1 and I fell in love with it then :')
April 29, 20178 yr Author Is it bad that I genuinely have no idea who #1 will be :') No it just surely makes the rundown all the better for you to follow! :yahoo:
April 29, 20178 yr Author Streaming wasn't introduced in 2013 was it? No Streaming wasn't introduced until the start of 2014 and that's why 2013 was picked as it easier to estimate paid for sales. The rest of your post has been edited by me as it constituted a spoiler. However your comments have been noted and I will address them at the end of the thread :D
April 30, 20178 yr Author 86. MARTINE MCCUTCHEON (1,274,000) 6 HITS 1995-2001 BIGGEST HIT: PERFECT MOMENT Flop girlband Milan didn’t help McCutcheon find the charts and a guest spot on Uno Clio’s “Are You Man Enough” only made No 62 in 1995 leaving it up to her stint on “Eastenders” as Tiffany Raymond to land her in our consciousness. She left the show at the end of 1998 and launched a pop career again scoring 5 hits before leaving the charts behind for the silver screen. PWTmGw0vIi8
April 30, 20178 yr Author 85. GINA G (1,325,000) http://img.youtube.com/vi/KiLw45oAuD0/mqdefault.jpg 7 HITS 1996-2006 BIGGEST HIT: OOH AAH JUST A LITTLE BIT Incredibly “Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit” only made SEVENTH at the Eurovision but it became the last UK entry to top the charts, even though she was Australian. Subsequent releases were more or less a retreat and followed the rules of ever decreasing returns for her. ERBagZheWkk
April 30, 20178 yr Author 84. FERGIE (1,363,000) 8 HITS 2006-2013 BIGGEST HIT: BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY Dipping in and out of being a member of the Black Eyed Peas seems not to have harmed Fergie who grabs the hits regardless. Her solo album “The Dutchess” is responsible for most of the sales here though she’s only made No 1 as a soloist by guesting on a David Guetta track “Gettin’ Over You”.

April 30, 20178 yr I love Martine. Not the most dynamic or charismatic of singers but she has a sweet little voice and enough charm to pull it all off. Of her singles, I'd go with "I'm Over You" as being the best, though it seems to have been forgotten by any one who isn't a pop nerd. Gina G, and this is becoming a running theme here for me it seems, is only familiar to me through her big hit that everyone knows. I do like it though, probably the last real Eurovision classic our country has produced (no offence to Scooch or Blue) Fergie is confusing because she really feels like she should be considered an absolute joke, yet she's kind of not? I can't say I care for much of her solo material bar a weird morbid fascination with Fergalicious which I try and listen to at least once a fortnight to prove to myself it's actually a real thing that exists. Other than that, I find her either dull (Big Girls Don't Cry, Glamorous) or just plain awful (London Bridge).

It was a toss up between "On The Radio" and "I'm Over You" - both are great You've summed up my thoughts on Fergie perfectly :D
April 30, 20178 yr Sonique's 'It Feels So Good' is an all-time favourite :heart: I don't know much else by her except 'Sky' and 'I Put A Spell On You', which were both good but not a patch on the brilliance of 'It Feels So Good'. Sophie Ellis-Bexter is another one who has an all-time favourite song for me! That is of course the magnificent 'Groovejet' with Spiller. 'Murder On The Dancefloor', 'Catch You' and 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)' are all very enjoyable too. She has such a charming singing voice. Duffy was always a bit hit and miss with me. She could be great ('Mercy' and 'Rain On Your Parade'), boring ('Warwick Avenue' and 'Stepping Stone') and then just descended into awfulness with 'Well Well Well'. I still cannot get over how amusingly awful her Pepsi ad is. Fergie is my favourite on the whole from these last two batches! I was always a fan of the Black Eyed Peas and hoped her solo ventures would be strong. 'Clumsy' is the only single from 'The Dutchess' that I wasn't crazy about, the others are all fabulous. 'Fergalicious' in particular is a total guilty pleasure *.*
April 30, 20178 yr I like Fergie, but it's mental that she had two solo #1s in the US! She's a real confusing one, she's got a great rock voice as you can hear in this one: Gg8aW9VKDuc Edited April 30, 20178 yr by 360Jupiter
April 30, 20178 yr Actually, now I remember, I really like Fergie's song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Lots of fun.
April 30, 20178 yr It's weird to think that back in 2008, Adele was the underdog and Duffy the superstar. How times change. I never really clicked with Duffy or really understood the mass appeal she seemed to command (maybe it was because 15 year old 2008 me was still clinging on to his My Chemical Romance/Fall Out Boy/Panic! At The Disco phase) but I don't mind Rain On Your Parade. I despise Mercy to an almost comical degree, it's probably not even that objectively bad, but damn that song just does something to me.

April 30, 20178 yr Ahhhh, you gotta love a bit of Sophie haven't you? With the exception of her Take Me Home cover (a very strange single choice that will never make sense to me), everything from her in the 00s is just kind of fabulous. If we're discounting Groovejet as she was uncredited on it (harsh that Spiller my dude) then I think I'll have to go with Mixed Up World as my favourite song by her - a brilliantly written pop track that really deserved more attention.
April 30, 20178 yr Amazing to see Martine McCutcheon, Gina G and Fergie all above Annie Lennox. Would be really interesting to hear what her position would be at the end if it were to include all her Eurythmics hits.
April 30, 20178 yr I still love Duffy and am a bit 'meh' with Adele. Not ashamed to say. Fergie is someone where I think she probably is a great singer but her solo singles are always pretty shockingly bad. London Bridge is particularly turdlike. I was assuming this was singles sales only. Am I right?
