Liam Gallagher has had singles under his own name, Oasis and Beady Eye.

Noel Gallagher has had singles under his own name, Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

It depends how you see the topic really. Oasis and Beady Eye are bands (obviously lol), so I’m not sure it would class as “Liam Gallagher charting with a different name”.

Pussycat Dolls / Nicole Scherzinger

 

 

 

 

 

 

:kink:

 

Another good one I just thought of… S Club Juniors and S Club 8.

You can use the main group too! Charted as both S Club 7 & S Club!

 

Also hasn’t Brendan Urie also charted as a soloist under the Panic At The Disco! Name too?

 

Also, Marina & The Diamonds / MARINA.

Paul Masterson presents Sushi/Yomanda/Amen UK/ Hi-Gate (duo with Judge Jules)

 

Lange/SuReaL

 

Jurgen Vries/DT8 Project/Angelic (real name Darren Tate)

The artist now known as Russ Millions previously went through the names Russ (not to be confused with the American rapper), Russ splash and RussMB, and had hits credited to all 4 variations (just the #78 hit Dappy collab 'Splash' in the case of RussMB).

The exhausting number of names of Diddy/Puff Daddy/P Diddy/Puff Daddy & The Family/P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family

 

 

AGUST D // SUGA of BTS

 

Both never made to top 40 though

Chipmunk has changed his name to Chip (although I don't know if he's charted since then).

 

Did Jennifer Lopez ever chart as J Lo?

 

For some reason I’m thinking she did, with singles like Play and Ain’t It Funny.

 

I may just be imagining it though.

Chipmunk has changed his name to Chip (although I don't know if he's charted since then).

 

He's been just Chip for way longer than he was Chipmunk now, and he's had about the same number if not slightly more charting songs post name change than before (although most of them didn't go top 40).

per the OCC, Chipmunk has had 13 hits as Chipmunk and 13 as Chip :)

only they were bigger hits as Chipmunk including one #1 and three top 3 hits hits

Sugababes / MKS

Jennifer Lopez / J-Lo

Liberty / Liberty X

 

There are others I wish had charted! For example:

A Fine Frenzy / Alison Sudol

 

Yeah I said 'if not slightly more' because I don't trust that the OCC list is complete, they're quite iffy with artists who chart mostly via collaborations. And the Wikipedia list definitely has at least one song it claims charted which didn't so it's hard to get a definitive answer without spending some time researching :lol:

Not sure it counts but you have McBusted (a combo of Busted and McFly) with a one hit wonder from 2014.

No, the album those singles were from is called J-Lo and she never called herself that as her artist name.

Elvis Costello charted as himself and "The Imposter" with Pills and Soap.

Speaking of Chipmunk...

 

The singer on the hook of his number 1 'Oopsy Daisy' had a few hits under different names too iirc. Dayo Olatunji (I can't ever remember if she's officially credited on 'Oopsy Daisy' though!), Dyo (NEIKED - Sexual) & Ms D (Wiley - Heatwave/Can You Hear Me? (Ayayaya)/Reload) all 5 are top 10 hits!

Didn't Cliff Richard once have a go at releasing an R&B single under some kind of alias to see if radio stations would play it if they didn't know it was him? I can't remember what the alias was or whether the single charted.

And for a more stereotypically Buzzjack friendly answer, Mel B charted a single or two as 'Mel G' in the late 90s.

 

Iirc she has charted under 4 names -

 

Mel B

Melanie G

Melanie B

Melanie Brown

A few years before 'Sax', Fleur East charted as just "Fleur" as a feature on Drumsound & Bassline Smith's 'One in a Million'.

PJ and Duncan/Ant and Dec of course
