If there's any missing add them to the thread - I don't think I've missed any. It's happened 46 times but not since January 1990.

So Leona could be the first UK woman to do it, AND the first UK act in 18 years? :lol: Oh God :lol:

Irrespective of the chance of the double, I think she'd be the first UK female solo act to have a #1 album there. Only other possibility is Olivia Newton John in 1975 who was born in the UK but was an Aussie citizen at the time.
