15 UK TOP 40 HITS

BIGGEST HIT: MANEATER (#1, 2006) GIVE IT TO ME (#1, 2007)

 

Very surprised Enya is that high!

'Try' remains Nelly Furtado's magnum opus :wub:

Edited May 22, 20232 yr by Mangø

I guess she might be the last artist to appear here without a Top 30 hit, but expect there's at least one more with only one Top 40 (a #24 collab from last year).

 

Was intrigued who Ms no.24-only was and wasn't one who I voted for so looked through the Top 40s from last year, found her pretty easily in the end - and on a meh song in my opinion. Didn't realise she was that popular on Buzzjack as we are getting to the higher numbers.

10 member votes for Nelly 👏

Great to see Enya so high and climbing 22 places from last year.

Nelly came very close for me. That singles run from Loose is especially great!

 

I stumbled across Doja Cat via a song called 'So High' in the mid-2010s so it's been incredible to witness such a massive commercial breakthrough for her in recent years.

Ooh Nelly Furtado another one I forgot! Would probably have made my top 40!

Nelly is the first to drop from the three I didn’t have space for on my final shortlist of 33.

 

I adore Loose so much but she was very much a ‘one amazing album with a few other great singles here and there over the years’ sort of act for me.

I completely forgot about Nelly Furtado... I'd agree she had a number of great songs but I don't think she has a truly great album. I think her first two were closest to being her best though.

Dido, Gabrielle and Nelly all of course have great tracks!

oh love Nelly Furtado, so talented, huge fan since day 1

many only know the Loose singles but she has so many great great tracks

 

Enya I kinda forgot to vote for her, but I do own many of her albums, very very talented too

Nice to see the Enya climb!

Great to see Nelly Furtado make the top 100.

 

Try is probably her best song for me.

Nelly great songwriter, fantastic eclectic personality but I can't listen to her nasal voice for too long without jarring.

BIGGEST HIT: ESCAPISM (#1, 2023)

 

 

after so many great ones, 3 today I couldn't care less

Three icons.

 

It's amazing but great how well loved Delta still is when she essentially just had a few middling hits (and admittedly one huge album) 20 years ago.
