Her debut album 'Rockerferry' was also massive, but sadly came victim to the difficult second album when it flooped a few years later.
June 3, 20187 yr Was expecting more love for the Manics :/ I considered Tom Jones, Stereophonics and the Manics but never Duffy not even sure if I knew Duffy is from Wales

June 3, 20187 yr Author Children... such a tune! Didn't think Animals would have counted as there are some spoken words As confirmed by Dan on the questions thread yesterday the rules of FF dictate "if multiple people go for the same 'wrong' answer then points are still to be awarded".

June 3, 20187 yr As confirmed by Dan on the questions thread yesterday the rules of FF dictate "if multiple people go for the same 'wrong' answer then points are still to be awarded". Ah of course. I forget that there are no wrong answers here!
June 3, 20187 yr woo for most people going for the logic of the most recent Wardy NOW thread to feature 10 #1s and the most recent fully instrumental top ten hit (Ten Walls). and hopefully people said Kylie for both Q4 and 5.

June 3, 20187 yr Even if I didn't look it up I'd have said Kylie, pretty obvious top answer there considering this is Buzzjack. :lol:
June 3, 20187 yr I was sure that more people would go for the logic of "first one on Dan's list" :/ yay Pete x

Flo Rida features on Where Dem Girls At, but also scored a Number 1 with David Guetta as a featured artist back in 2010 on the mighty 'Club Can't Handle Me'. Bieber and Usher both feature on one of Guetta's Top 10 hits and whilst Chris Willis features on three of David's Top 10 hits only gets one nod on here behind Sam Martin whilst Sia is not a male artist.
