March 27, 200817 yr Other female british entities on Billboard hot 100 in teh past: Bonnie Tyler Human League (partial) Bananarama Spice Girls i missed Sheena Easton and Kim Wild that curiously did it with 2 vintage song : Morning Train - 9 to 5 amd You Keep me hanging on
March 27, 200817 yr But Who did it in U.K. and over the water? Leona did Spice Girls did Human League (partial female) did Bonnie Tyler did
March 27, 200817 yr Debbie Harry as leader did it in 1979 with the great Hart of Glass Kiki dee did with Elton in 1976 with Don'T go breaking My Heart
March 27, 200817 yr Can I just clear up a couple of points about Sheena Easton. She is British and Morning Train (9 To 5) was an original song. She currently holds duel citizenship of the UK and America but only held a UK passport at the time of her number one song. There's a good website about her for anyone that's interested www.sheenaeaston.co.uk

March 27, 200817 yr As far as I know, Leona is the fifth British female to top the Billboard chart, before it was Petula Clark, Lulu, Sheena Easton and Kim Wilde. You never know, we might be getting a run of black british females topping the Billboard chart now, what with Estelle joining the 'American appeal clan' with her Kanye collaboration. Is it going to be released in America?

March 27, 200817 yr Does anyone know, apart from Leona, who the last british artist/group to top the hot 100 was? Male, band whatever, but there must have been some in the 21st century
March 27, 200817 yr Does anyone know, apart from Leona, who the last british artist/group to top the hot 100 was? Male, band whatever, but there must have been some in the 21st century Of course James Blunt with You're Beautiful
March 27, 200817 yr Of course James Blunt with You're Beautiful But no other british act did apart some top 10 like: Kylie Craig Natasha
