2 UK TOP 40 HITS

BIGGEST HIT: SAY YOU LOVE ME (#22, 2014)

 

 

Agnetha :wub: :wub: :wub: - one of the best vocalists of all time. Frida would have been near the top for me too had she been eligible. Obviously not really based on solo work though I do really like Agnetha’s A album.

I've already hinted who I think one of the new entries in the top 50 is, but had no idea for the other - wow at Agnetha making a big debut, a few more ABBA fans this time!

 

I'd forgotten I put Diana Ross third but she's had so many classics across the decades - my solo highlights are Upside Down, Ain't No Mountain High Enough and I'm Still Waiting, some big duets and Reflections as "Diana Ross and The Supremes" are great too.

All thanks to Dan's Buzzjack's favorite top-20 of 00s, I learned that Agnetha is able to be voted here. :wub:

Really Agnetha!? Don't get me wrong she has a stunning voice and her contribution to Abba cannot be denied (nor can Frida's) but her solo work is not exactly it!? For the lower regions perhaps but 50 for anything outside of Abba is strange to me.

Didn't quite fit Jessie into my votes but What's Your Pleasure? is a fantastic album, I also love '110%' and some of her collabs e.g. 'Aaliyah' with Katy B and Disclosure's 'Confess To Me' :heart:

Please to see Anastacia climb ,

 

Carly Rae so high !!! 🤔

NO 50- ( ) AGNETHA FALTSKOG- 118 POINTS

WHAAAAAT?? :o that's a name I wasn't expecting to see in the top 50! 'A' is a pretty good album but I'm not sure she deserves to be that high up based on just her solo work?

 

Diana Ross is obviously a legend, although I could only find 1 point for her!

 

Jessie Ware would have been very close to getting points from me, she might well make next time!

I mean the rules don’t say anywhere “you must only base votes on an artist’s solo work”, even if many people thought that was implicit.

It literally says Buzzjacks favourite female solo singer, how is that not the rules? If you’re going by band input too then the likes of solo girls aloud, spice girls, Sugababes would be so much higher.

Carly Rae so high !!! 🤔

 

She should be even higher!

I must admit I had to look her up! Anyway Rina is our highest new entry on this years list!!

Genuinely never heard of her!? :???: :???: :???:

 

:o She's responsible for some of the finest disco music ever! Start with her Greatest Hits, soooo many gems.

I completely forgot that Rina has infact had a top 40 single :lol:

 

She’s definitely one of our finest talents in recent years and deserves so much more mainstream success.
